Federal investigators reportedly suspect that pilot error played a role in the fatal Amazon Air cargo crash
Inspectors with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) suspect that pilot error — not aircraft malfunctions — led to the deadly Atlas Air crash on February 23, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. All three people on board died in the crash. The NTSB said on March 5 that, shortly before the plane's crash landing, the Boeing 767-300 cargo jet entered some turbulence. Then, the engines increased to maximum thrust, after which the airplane pitch turned slightly up. That… (www.businessinsider.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
No pilot puts a plane nose down like that without announcing to the other pilot what the plan is. The CVR will be critical to this investigation. Also, I wonder if there is a record of the pilot ever doing this maneuverer before. Possibly rapidly diving through what looked like a clear area to get to the clear weather that he was told was on the other side, losing situational awareness, and getting caught in a downburst also.
I can’t even fathom this question let alone an answer in today’s 121 airline training world.
NTSB prelim says, "the airplane pitch increased to about 4° nose up. The airplane then pitched nose down over the next 18 seconds to about 49°."
Only 4°??? In what world is that an issue??? Something happened to make that plane pitch 49° nose down, and it was NOT the pilot (s)! Never would any pilot with that much experience react so surprisingly for such a small pitchup!

Whole scenario is so unusual that I'd rather wait for the facts, keep my thoughts to myself and ignore speculation.
If it is not directly taken from the NTSB investigative report. It is not FACT!
