    I agree with Gus, this is such a frustrating incident. To see SO many redundancies in place to avoid these types of mid-air incidents, and to see every single one of them treated with such a lack of care that somehow they still managed to cause a collision. It's infuriating to think that not only did they crash their own plane and passengers, but that they also knocked another plane that had done nothing wrong out of the sky as well.

      The Excel-Air flight landed at a military base with no casualties. So they only crashed the other plane, not their own.

    I had one very near miss about 15 years ago. I was a passenger in a helicopter travelling in mid Wales. Suddenly the pilot did a very sharp bank as an RAF Tornado came shooting up in an almost vertical climb missing us by no more than 100 metres. The helicopter got caught in the slipstream and took about 10 seconds to stabilise. Turns out the RAF practice low level bombing practices in this area and have NO active radar or proximity warning systems. Only our pilots mark 1 eyeball and sharp reflexes saved us.

    I would highly recommend looking in to the Uberlingen mid air collision. It happened in 2002, when there were some issues with ATC as well as some confusion with regards to who has higher authority, TCAS or ATC. It is made even more tragic by the fact that one of the planes involved was basically transporting a lot of children.

    @RainAngel111 Před 2 lety

    Putting aside for a moment, the fact that they were flying at an odd altitude despite their direction, the lack of knowledge proved by their inability to use the transponder makes me agree with Gus that they were at fault. They were at fault, or whoever allowed these obviously unqualified people to fly the plane were at fault

  • @Mattiedel
    @Mattiedel Před 2 lety

    Really well done and the visuals help convey the story. However the point about the pilots being at the wrong flight level and therefore at fault is not entirely fair.
    Remember that Air Traffic Control (ATC) cleared them to fly at that level. Under Instrument Flight Rules, pilots have a reasonable expectation that their clearance altitude should be free of any conflicting traffic, that is ATC’s responsibility while in controlled airspace. I’ll add to that as well that the pilots could not simply have changed their altitude when they felt like it, they would have to request it through ATC and then be cleared to the higher/lower altitude. So it’s not simply a case of just going up or down to the hemispherical standard levels. Even if your flight plan says you’ll climb or descend at a certain point in flight, you cannot actually do this until cleared to do so by ATC. The exception to this requirement is when pilots follow the actions required of a TCAS Resolution Advisory as described in the video.
    The pilots clearly made a substantial error by not having their transponder in an appropriate mode for their flight but it’s important to remember that these accidents rarely occur due to a single, isolated fault. I’m not familiar with the specific incident or transponder fitted to this aircraft but it’s interesting that ATC was not able to alert the crew to the inappropriate transponder mode while they were seemingly radar identified at some point during the flight.

  • @BluishGreenPro
    @BluishGreenPro Před 2 lety

    While I agree that it was ultimately the pilot’s fault for making the most egregious errors, this is certainly an interesting case where all of these issues in concert were responsible for causing the accident

  • @mattcochran9236
    @mattcochran9236 Před 2 lety

    Gus, love the podcast but I have to disagree. I’m an air traffic controller and I put the majority of the blame on the controller in this situation. Aircraft fly at wrong altitude for direction all the time and if it’s the last altitude issued by the controller, then the pilot must stay at that altitude until told otherwise. We coordinate it all the time with other controllers without ever mentioning it to the pilots. As a matter of fact, in our facility flying at “wrong height for flight” at FL390 and above no longer has to be coordinated. Anyway, just my two cents.
