Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation
I started in 1988 and it was in there then. Nobody knew how bad the 757
was at that time, the crashes were just starting to pile up. They changed the 757 to basically a heavy in the 90's. A Guy Called Tyketto wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In rec.aviation.piloting Steven P.

This reminds me, and perhaps Newps could pitch in on this as well, seeing that you've been controlling for the past 15 - 20something years. When did the Wake Turbulence advisory become standard in the .65? From what I've read (I got into aviation in 2000), it happened shortly after the King Air crash at KSNA that killed the founder of In-N-Out Burger. It was concluded that the King Air had been caught in the UAL B757's wake, rolled into a steep descent and crashed. I don't have any versions of the .65 from back at that time (according to Wikipedia, it was 1993). Do you have any versions of it from that time, and did it address the Wake Turbulence advisory? |

They changed the 757 to basically a heavy in the 90's. What planes, or how heavy does a plane need to be to get the heavy designation? What do they call the ones just below that, and do they issue wake warnings behind them? Thanks. -- Jim in NC |

They changed the 757 to basically a heavy in the 90's. What planes, or how heavy does a plane need to be to get the heavy designation? Generally speaking a heavy is a plane that has the ability to fly at weights above 255,000 pounds, whether or not they actually are. It used to be 300,000 but they lowered it so it would include the 757 which is now for all intents and purposes now a heavy. What do they call the ones just below that, and do they issue wake warnings behind them? Large. You would issue a warning to all aircraft in the small or small plus weight class. |

You're as arrogant as the KLM Captain who caused that mess. That may be true, but it doesn't change the facts. I would guess the most Australians couldn't tell you where Tenerife is either. Simply put, the U.S. has had a larger number of commercial flights over the past 100 years, so it has had a larger number of crashes. You could argue about the ten that changed the world, but I think the following definitely should be included: 1. The British Comet crashes (particularly "Yoke Peter") out of Rome, and the next one, also out of Rome - BOAC; 2. The Lockheed L-188 Electra problems in the U.S. on Braniff (Buffalo, Texas) and Northwest (Tell City, Indiana) (propeller "whirl" issues) 3. Tenerife (because of the shear number of victims and the influence on Cockpit Resource Management) (KLM and PanAm) 4. Several of the Korean Air and China Air crashes including Guam, Hong Kong, Taipei (also because of Cockpit Resource Management issues) 5. Aloha Airlines decompression and issue between Hilo and Maui, where the top sheared off (because of metal fatigue issues - just like the Comets); 6. Pan Am Stratocruiser over the Pacific ocean in 1958 (because they were able to ditch the airplane in the ocean and all passengers survived). |
