It's not a take-off it's the Airbus A-320 test flight in Habsheim, it was supposed to be flying at 30m, but it was actually at 10m only. Bad preparation from the pilot and bad software lead to he accident.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a fly-past at an airshow, and the computer software wouldn't let the pilot apply full power since the aircraft was configured for landing. Big programming screwup, and I'm not sure but I think all aboard died. The gif cuts off the fireball issuing forth from the trees.
ReplyDeleteIn the first crash of a new 'Fly-By-Wire' aircraft, the Airbus A320-100 impacted trees while performing a fly-by at an airshow and burst into flames. The crew, and Air France maintenance officials, have all been sentenced to probation for manslaughter; the Captain has been imprisoned. Evidence, including photographs, has now been exposed that an Airbus official at the scene switched the Digital Flight Data Recorder before the court hearing.
ReplyDeleteSince May 1998, it is proven that the Flight Data Recorder was switched after the accident. The Lausanne Institute of Police Forensic Evidence and Criminology (IPSC) comes to the conclusion that the recorder presented to the Court is NOT the one taken from the aircraft after the accident.
