Nepal plane crash caused by emotionally disturbed captain
A plane crash at Nepal’s international airport that killed 51 people happened because the captain suffered an “emotional breakdown”, a leaked draft of the official investigation has found. (www.theguardian.com) और अधिक...
This report suggests the captain was distracting the copilot—who happens to be a woman—landing at Kathmandu for the first time. Captain was probably checking the skills of the copilot to prove his superiority, so instead of helping the copilot, or taking over control he kept distracting her. It is a very sad story with a sad ending. We never expect this from a skilled military pilot.
First Officer probably should have said” ok, boss, you have control”. Much easier to manage an out of sorts Captain and assist then to try and fly a first time approach and babysit him at the same time.
I think that you will find that in most Asian airlines it is a career ending death sentence for the First Officer to even suggest that he take over for The Captain unless told to by The Captain himself.
Well, in this instance the FAILURE to make such a suggestion was a career ending death sentence, wasn't it?
Unless I miss my guess, you misunderstand what Highflyer1950 is saying.
He did, but that’s ok.
