I'm so confused.




because I meant to say that he assumed the question as that (work tougher or not).. and then explained how tech was making it easier, but prob going to increase the load.

I thought you thought he thought that technology was making ATC's job tougher. Now I think that you think that I thought it was making the pilot's... wait...

While it makes our job easier, it just allows for more traffic, which makes it tougher on the pilot and the controller. That's why in a lot the the higher density facilities they don't work a eight hour shift. There are some facilities that work six hour shifts, or even four to keep the mind fresh for the next guy.

In no way should it hinder core competence. If it does the controller would be shown the door before he or she even obtained the rating.

As I follow the thread in the pilot boards, a lot of people who've worked for these airlines in Asia have chimed in. Here's another interesting one.


Quote:
I worked as an instructor in the Asiana simulator on the A320 and I know how Asiana will fix this problem:- they will forbid landing on ANY runway that does not have some electronic glideslope system and not allow ANY pilot to hand fly an approach, thus perpetuating the total lack of any basic flying skills in 95% of their pilots.

EVERY day in the sim I saw evidence of the following problem:- when the auto pilot is out or the automatics are not behaving as expected, a potential disaster ensues.

That is why I left, I tried my best, but got kicked in the teeth for it. They wont allow you to help them ............. what a shame.

Also, another account of the view from the UAL flight holding short of the runway...

http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/n...ts.html?page=1
Quote:
According to at least one pilot onboard, it was indeed a terribly unnerving situation for passengers and crew on United Airlines Flight 885 in the seconds, minutes and hours that followed the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 late Saturday morning.
United (NYSE: UAL) Flight 885, bound nonstop for Osaka, Japan, was sitting at the end of active taxiway F adjacent to San Francisco International Airport Runway 28L as Asiana Flight 214 descended across San Francisco Bay and crashed just short of the runway. The pilots and many of the passengers abroad the giant United Boeing 747-400 had a bird's-eye view of the Asiana widebody plane as it struck the seawall and then began to disintegrate and skid down Runway 28L - just a few hundred feet from where United Flight 885 was situated.
Though the media to date hasn't talked much about what impact the Asiana crash had on eyewitnesses aboard United Flight 885, a first officer on the United plane subsequently penned a detailed account of the crash as seen from the United cockpit, as well as the situation inside the United Flight 885 passenger cabin in the minutes and hours after the Asiana crash, that appeared on the Professional Pilots Rumor Network. PPRN is described as a website for "reporting points that may affect our jobs or lives as professional pilots."
A United Airlines spokeswoman said the airline "can't confirm or comment" on the account from the first officer on United Flight 885.
What follows is that report from a United Flight 885 first officer, who described himself as a witness to the Asiana Flight 214 accident:
We had taxied to hold short of runway 28L at SFO on taxiway F, and were waiting to rectify a HAZMAT cargo issue as well as our final weights before we could run our before takeoff checklist and depart. As we waited on taxiway F heading East, just prior to the perpendicular holding area, all three pilots took notice of the Asiana 777 on short final. I noticed the aircraft looked low on glidepath and had a very high deck angle compared to what seemed 'normal.'

I then noticed at the apparent descent rate and closure to the runway environment the aircraft looked as though it was going to impact the approach lights mounted on piers in the SF Bay. The aircraft made a fairly drastic-looking pull up in the last few feet and it appeared and sounded as if they had applied maximum thrust. However the descent path they were on continued and the thrust applied didn't appear to come soon enough to prevent impact. The tail cone and empennage of the 777 impacted the bulkhead seawall and departed the airplane and the main landing gear sheared off instantly. This created a long debris field along the arrival end of 28L, mostly along the right side of 28L.
We saw the fuselage, largely intact, slide down the runway and out of view of our cockpit. We heard much confusion and quick instructions from SFO Tower and a few moments later heard an aircraft go around over the runway 28 complex. We realized within a few moments that we were apparently unharmed so I got on the PA and instructed everyone to remain seated and that we were safe.

I work at Hood Army Airfield right now. We may be taking over Killeen ARAC and Tower because of sequestration. The DoD runs t Killeen Regional and they can't afford to close. The ARAC has everything between Dallas and Houston just about and pretty much Austin as well.

I just live in Austin because Killeen sucks a bag of dicks.

It was an Airbus. A310 I think. This was in the early 90's.

I've watched that video before. Just because there are more people in the cockpit doesn't mean anyone had an idea what's going. Same thing happened in a P-3 a few years ago. They spun in and luckily recovered at 80' but totaled it because they snapped the wing spar during to recovery.

A friend of mine in Korea was a controller with me. He got a qualified non-select for the Army WOFF. He spoke perfect English, Spanish and French. Had a bachelors in aeronautics and he had his multiengine rating with a we thousand hours under his belt. He go a condition release and was going to fly jets, but they were full up and he is now in the Navy as a P-3 driver.

Sure have. That was the aircraft I was talking about a few pages back, where I explained having to bring them in below minimums. I may have some pictures, although I'd need to dig for them. In pretty sure we have, although that seems to happen with just about every other aviation thread that pops up.

I work with some Dash 7s and 8s in Afghanistan as well, although the Dash 7 was not in the same capacity as it was in Korea

Some notes from the NTSB brief today I took from the pilot boards. I'll have a full account a little later.

Quote:
These are my own notes. While I was typing as I listened, I am neither stenographer nor pilot. If someone posts better notes, I'll happily delete this post, or respond to corrections. I've consolidated material from the opening statement and answers to press questions.

From the CVR:
There is a sink rate comment before the 500 foot auto callout
Over time there are verbal glide path comments: first above, then on, then below

timestamps were not provided for the above, but were provided or relative order given for this final set (where I is the time of impact)
I-35 automated 500 foot callout
shortly thereafter crew member calls landing checklist complete
I-18 200 auto altitude callout
I-9 100 auto altitude callout
very shortly thereafter is the first comment regarding speed
I-3 a call for Go-around
I-1.5 second call for Go-around by a different crew member

Regarding the FDR:

220 of the 1400 parameters have been validated so far.

Engines and flight control services appear to have responded as expected to control inputs.

No anomalous behavior of the autopilot, flight director, and autothrottles observed.

She specifically stated that the fuel tanks were not breached, and that it was not a fuel-fed fire. She re-iterated a previous comment giving the near engine as the starting point, with an oil tank rupture providing the initial fire fuel.

Personal note: because the discussion here has shown intense interest in modes, I listened carefully, and believe no Flight recorder based mode information was given today at all. (yesterday's presser mentioned that multiple A/P and A/T modes were seen in the last 2.5 minutes, but today did not even revisit that).
