Just now I saw a video that was uploaded by Air Safety Institute. I feel sorry for the three people who died in that tragedy, particularly feeling sorry for the female pilot who was at complete peace and calm till the last moments even though she was burdened by air traffic controllers with frequent instructions throwing her all around at the airport. The elaboration detailed by the Air Safety Institute mostly blaming the pilot for the tragedy forced me to write this article. We may agree that in most cases we blame the pilot for any incident or accident. The elaboration given by ASI is quite sorted, but the thing I didn’t like in here is that the first culprit here is found to be the private pilot who had minimal amount of flying experience. It is easy to blame the pilot for not being alive to fight for her case and everyone else involved in the tragedy, particularly the ATC who want to save their jobs and reputation. What I didn’t like was the cirrus private pilot was as...
Hurray I cleared one more mission of the Jumbo Jet Flight Simulator mobile game.
The mission was to land the aircraft which was Lockheed L-101 Tristar safely as its trim malfunctioned.
The horizontal stabilizer jammed as I tried to land the aircraft at Catalina Airport.
The airplane started to drop rapidly as the trim for the horizontal stabilizer stopped working.
The airplane was controllable manually only.
The first thing I did to stop the rapid fall of the aircraft was to put down the flaps to full.
I don't know if this is the correct procedure or not, but this is what came to my mind.
During the after-analysis of the gameplay walkthrough video of the Jumbo Jet Flight Simulator, I found that the simulator itself suggested lowering the flaps to regain some pitching-up action.
I was successful in landing the aircraft on the third attempt.
In the first attempt, I was taken by surprise.
I was not familiar with where the runway was. I was high as I passed over the runway and ultimately crashed the airplane.
In the second attempt, I failed to align my aircraft with the runway at Catalina Airport.
The situation that I was given, put me almost at the base leg of the runway.
In the first two attempts, I was not aware of this situation and was turning earlier than required.
On the third attempt, I did not turn immediately and turned only when I was close to the runway.
I had already lowered the landing gear and put down the flaps and the aircraft was low two, maybe a little high for landing.
The simple reason is I did not check the landing speed for the Lockheed Tristar L-101.
The aircraft made a big balloon and in real life it means a crash. I was in a simulator so such kind of blunders can be waved off.
The wing of the airplane slid off the runway and there were big sparks came out.
The complete scene looked horrible as I tried desperately to stop the airplane on the runway.
The airspeed was bleeding fast and the Lockheed Tristar L-101 finally came to a halt one more mission was accomplished on the Jumbo Jet Flight Simulator.
Take a look at the complete gameplay walkthrough video and find out how the action unfolded.
