Flight Safety Detectives breakdown the NTSC LionAir FL610 report - Episode 14 & 15

Lion Air Accident Report Analysis

ABOUT THIS EPISODE



Episode 14 Greg and John do a moment by moment analysis of the events leading up to the crash of Lion Air Flight 610. They share their takeaways following months of dissecting the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) final report regarding the crash. They put the facts in context – facts listed in the report as well as details that are missing. The MCAS system that is widely blamed for the crash was activated for only 10 seconds of the first 6 minutes of the 11:37 flight. The report shows that the pilot was controlling the plane. The Flight Safety Detectives find:

• The airplane was not airworthy for days prior to the crash
  
• Maintenance was not done properly
  
• Flight crew stresses: the captain was sick and the first officer was called in ahead of his regular schedule
  
• At takeoff, aircraft control warnings were triggered that are not analyzed for impact on the sequence of events
  
• Flight crew did not follow procedures
  
• Quality of the pilot training program is not examined
  

John and Greg bring in insights from other crashes to provide an unmatched analysis of this tragedy.

Fly the Way You Train, Train the Way You Fly

ABOUT THIS EPISODE



Episode 15 They have dissected the more than 300 pages of the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) final report on Lion Air Flight 610 and John and Greg reach a very different conclusion. The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) was not the root cause, flight crew deficiencies are more likely the root cause. Once again, John and Greg stick to the facts presented in the report. They find that those facts are twisted in the report analysis as well as media coverage. This leads to misplaced blame on the MCAS system and, worse, missed opportunities to improve aviation safety. Calling the conclusion that MCAS was the cause a “leap of logic,” John and Greg instead look at documented issues with crew training and the direct parallels those issues have to what happened in the cockpit that fateful day.
