Alarms blare in the cockpit as the three pilots struggle to understand what is happening their aircraft. The instruments they have been trained to trust, are lying to them. And what’s worse, time is running out. With every passing second, their plane is losing speed. If it gets too slow, it will fall out of the sky. Will the pilots be able to diagnose their problem before they lose control of their aircraft? This is a story about how a small inconvenience can snowball into a full blown emergency. But more importantly, it’s a story about the importance of teamwork in the cockpit, especially in crisis. This is the story of Birgenair flight 301. ---- Final report: https://lessonslearned.faa.gov/Birgenair301/Birgenair301_Accident_Report.pdf Cockpit Voice Recorder Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85R6m0QCsSA Birgenair Livery: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/71244-birgenair-301/ All music licensed through Epidemic Sound ----- 00:00 Intro 00:58 Flight background 01:28 Pilots 02:32 Boeing 757 02:55 A critical weakness 03:15 Pushback and taxi 04:14 Takeoff 05:18 Problem solved? 06:23 Rudder ratio & trim warnings 07:27 Faulty airspeed indicator 09:37 Autopilot 10:33 Overspeed warning 11:12 Approaching a stall 11:33 Stick shaker 13:16 Cockpit confusion 13:38 Cockpit voice recorder audio 14:19 Aftermath and investigation 15:17 Pitot tubes 16:37 Cause of the accident 17:53 Systems knowledge 18:40 Safety recommendations and improvements 19:54 Thanks!
