Ryder1587 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Not a good week for aviation. This these crashes it makes me wonder what the AIB was for the rash of crashes last year. Anyone remember them all ? I remember a C model overseas. And maybe a 35 for the Marines ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Should definitely look at putting a stop to night landings on training sorties. Too much risk. Edited May 20, 2020 by HuggyU2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperMan Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 "The pilot noticed something was wrong with his helmet-mounted display, suggesting it was misaligned in relation to the horizon. The pilot cross-checked his virtual heads-up display and instrument landing system data, and visually adjusted his aim point and glide slope toward the runway’s threshold." Root cause: F-35 doesn't have a HUD. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root cause: F-35 doesn't have a HUD. " Valid for pointing out the stupidity of not mounting a gunsight on a.... gun, but I'm pretty sure a no-hud ILS capability exists. I'd say root cause is touching down at > 200 knots. https://www.afjag.af.mil/Portals/77/AIB-Reports/2020/May/Eglin AFB F35A AIB Report_Signed.pdf "The AIB President found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the mishap was caused first, by the MA touching down at 202 KCAS, and second, by the MA flight control surfaces, namely the tail of the aircraft, conflicting with the MP inputs upon landing, resulting in the MP’s inability to recover from the aircraft oscillation."

TreeA10 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The most basic aviation skill after takeoff is landing the jet. I guess the $400,000+ helmet just isn't adequate to make that happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashiChuni Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) so he landed via a prohibited maneuver? (speed hold enabled) "The pilot pulled back on the stick and hit full afterburners to try to abort the landing. But with the stabilizers pointing down, his effort to take off again was unsuccessful and he was forced to bail out." that's terrifying to me that the computer could overrule the pilot trying to go around!\ "And he had several things on his mind, the report said, including a positive COVID-19 test of a contact of a contact that might require him to quarantine, which contributed to his task over-saturation." - really?
