He was President of the leading French pilots' union, the SNPL, at the time an Airbus A320 crashed into trees at Habsheim in Eastern France in June 1988. The crash was a great embarrassment to Air France and Airbus, a European company with deep roots in France. If you remove management edicts and substitute human judgment, you can eliminate 19 out of 20 errors. Guilty. It would not open, which was fortunate as there was by that time a fire on the left wing. He also claims he recognized that spectators were on a different runway than the one included in his flight plan. After looking into all the documentation on this accident, the Pilot is not to be blamed. In reality, that only ensures that one pilot never makes the mistake again. I have no doubt the pilot was to blame, and the conspiracy theorists (tampering with a black box?) Captain Michel Asseline used those bulletins to assert that these 2 malfunctions happened and caused both the lack of power when the throttle was increased, and the inability of the crew to recognize the sharp sink rate as the plane passed 100 feet into the . I should estimate that in my experience most troubles and most possibilities for improvement add up to the proportions something like this: 94% belongs to the system (responsibility of management), 6% special. Page 315 of Out of the Crisis by Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Views from inside the cockpit, Aircraft Cabins Accident, incident and crash related photos, Air to Air If you remove management edicts and substitute human judgment, you can eliminate 19 out of 20 errors. The pilot and copilot were charged and convicted of three counts of involuntary manslaughter in the French criminal courts. Whos going to fly the goddamn airplanes in the future? [2], Habsheim aerodrome was too small to be listed in the aircraft's flight computer, thereby requiring a visual approach; both pilots were also unfamiliar with the airfield when they began their descent from 2,000 feet (610m) only 6 nautical miles (11km) from the field. There is even a program for pilots who make mistakes and errors to fess up. Pictures of great freighter aircraft, Government Aircraft TOGA power is applied. All the passengers survived the initial impact, but a woman and two children died from smoke inhalation before they could escape after struggling to unfasten the seatbelt. [2], The pilots had each had a busy weekend and did not receive the flight plan until the morning of the flight. He is in a wheel chair now, but thats gotta be a tough one to be the one and only survivor and its because of an error on his part. Its FREE!!! Some faceless desk-pilot added on a trip to a tiny airfield on the day of the flight but did not bother to do the hard work of preparing the particulars necessary to do so. After the rush of people had left and the interior was fast becoming toxic, she stood at the front door and called back into the cabin. Mazires was given a twelve month suspended sentence. Not unless their was prior approval by the proper authorities that made the rules that allowed for him to break it. Photos taken by airborne photographers of airborne aircraft, Special Paint Schemes Its systems would not allow for mistakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panintern Flight_112, https://www.welt.de/print/wams/vermisch Licht.html, http://www.feuerwehr-krummesse.de/einsa kensee.php, http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp090 .01.en.pdf, http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/14/us/ai hance.html, http://www.avmed.in/2011/02/from-convic le-reborn/, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fir -1.2605682, https://norj.ca/2014/04/pilots-fired-af ff-course/. The purser went to announce instructions to the passengers but the public address system handset had been torn off. Business & Commercial Aviation BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL AVIATION CHALLENGING AIRPORTS LEARNING FROM TEST PILOTS Asseline should not have been flying that low, slow and with such little thrust from the engines. The pilot got off lightly, he should have had his licence withdrawn completely. OEB 06/2: Baro-Setting Cross Check. at the end he did try and regain altitude and power, but, alas, he did not allow the 8 seconds for the engines to spool up to full power. It takes a series of things to go wrong. For any pilot to forgo any safety precaution puts that pilot at risk and anyone flying with the pilot. Local emergency services were informed by radio communication. Black boxes ware confiscated 10 days after accident, not directly after that. The day after the crash, French transport officials called a news conference to say the pilots were flying too slow and too low. On June 26, 1988, a very special Airbus A320 left Basel-Mulhouse Airport in Habsheim, France. As Air France's technical pilot, he had been heavily involved in test flying the A320 type and had carried out maneuvers beyond normal operational limitations. Captain Michel Asseline. The low-speed flyover, with landing gear down, was supposed to take place at an altitude of 100 feet (30m); instead, the plane performed the flyover at 30ft (9m), skimmed the treetops of the forest at the end of the runway (which had not been shown on the airport map given to the pilots) and crashed. That was sheer stupidity. The captain of this Aircraft should take responsibility for his actions instead of trying to clear his name. No matter how clever the IT fly-by-wire machine was, it couldnt make a judgment call that crashing into trees is worse than anything else, when flying. He is now flying in Australia. Everyone thought it was a no-brainer for the A320 to wow this crowd. Yes, Cpt. [2], The flight deck crew believed that the engines had failed to respond to the application of full power. then 'cause he climb down? Any experienced pilot, or physician for that matter, smells disaster. [2], Traditionally, pilots respect the inherent dangers of flying at low speeds at low altitude, and normally, a pilot would not attempt to fly an aircraft so close to stalling with the engines at flight idle (minimum thrust setting in flight). He had to spot the airfield from the air and prepare to do the overflight. After a few seconds, Asseline claims, he became worried that the plane's completely computerised throttle control had malfunctioned and responded by pulling the throttle all the way back then forward again. This bug has now been corrected in later versions of the 320. Everyone thought it was a no-brainer for the A320 to wow this crowd. There's every reason to suspect Airbus is correct, that many crashes have been prevented. If you get blamed for everything, its better to do nothing. Sorry but the pilot is at fault. It threatened to ruin the reputation of the A320, potentially losing many millions of dollars in sales. Its systems would not allow for mistakes. Apart from the tail section, the aircraft was consumed by fire. Captain Michel Asseline got burnt doing a routine, everyday maneuver that his plane just couldnt handle, one that an open-cockpit biplane could. [2] Additionally, the captain was expecting from the flight plan to do the pass over runway 02 (3,281 feet (1,000m) long, paved) and was preparing for that alignment. He cannot blame the Aircraft for not reacting as he wanted to when it was extremly low and right above stall speed. I think it much more likely that he applied power well before that, as he claims. Heres a story about me and you. Captain Michel Asseline served a year in prison. Totaly miracle. If you change the pilots cap for a lab coat, arent you Captain Michel Asseline, too? Airbus had too much to lose as far as money invested developing the plane. Guilty. The Discovery Channel Canada / National Geographic TV series Mayday featured the accident and subsequent investigation in a season 9 episode titled "Pilot vs. Think about it - low level flying with 130 passengers on board? I have a hard time believing that the pilot was literally four seconds from the trees when he applied power. The plan was to overfly Runway Ought-2; the aircraft was configured for a low-altitude overflight. The pilot pulled up on the yoke to ease the plane up over the hundred-foot-tall woods at the end of the runway. They might be paid, or simply represent interest of a much more powerful players - Air France. He was never given the chance. His arrogance, recklessness, lack of skills and knowledge destroyed a plane and killed 2 children and an adult. The captain, Michel Asseline, disputed the report and claimed an error in the fly-by-wire computer prevented him from applying thrust and pulling up. The pilot called out to the co-pilot for emergency power. He said this at least a decade before the Airbus crash. Most of the posters here are missing the relevant point. He was endorsed on the Caravelle, Boeing 707 and 737, and had qualified as an A320 captain three months before the accident. This is NOT to say the Airbus' control system has not prevented plenty of crashes. I don't think so. However the fact he had never flown to this airport previously. 12:45:15 - the aircraft, now at 90 feet (27m), begins a deviation to the right (maximum bank angle: 30) to line up with the grass strip 34R. The episode "Disastrous Descents" of the TV series Aircrash Confidential produced by WMR Productions and IMG Entertainment, featured the accident and included an interview with Captain Michel Asseline. [2] Mazires had 10,853 hours of flight time. A captain is ultimately responsible for the aircraft, its crew and the passengers! Any doctor who tries to practice in medicine today, except for my colleagues in Direct Primary Care, live in the world of Captain Michel Asseline every day. He did none of this which can be fine given he contacted the tower first. [3], It was also claimed by the Institute of Police Forensic Evidence and Criminology, based in Switzerland, that the flight data recorders may have been switched and were not the original ones in the airplane. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. Discover (and save) your own Pins on Pinterest. He gave the best he could to make it fly. Ascending at such an angle would lead to the planes stalling within minutes. In order to accomplish the desk-pilots orders, the pilots valuable time was spent jiggering the preparations for the overflight, not allowing him to evaluate strategic details like why fly a plane at 30 feet if there are 100-foot trees at the end? A website, http://www.crashdehabsheim.net/has been set up to analyze the scandal. The overflight of the airfield at the Aerodrome was to take place at alpha-max, the lowest speed at which a craft could fly without stalling. Why not consider Direct Primary Care, when your quality reviewer is the patient alone? The plan was to overfly Runway Ought-2; the aircraft was configured for a low-altitude overflight. The flight attendant then began evacuating the passengers but they soon began to pile up at the bottom of the slide as their route was blocked by trees and branches. Aside from the strong evidence that Air France, Airbus and the nation itself may well have had a hand in falsifying data related to the crash, there are several very important points to take away in this very sad and tragic story. -- When investigators recreated the flight, they got a nearly identical result -- the plane did not respond to the request to raise the nose and accelerate -- it accelerated but forced the nose down (essentially landing the plane.) Here's one I remember seeing a few years ago in Canada. A pilot should ALWAYS be able to immediately over-ride computer systems in critical moments, such as seeing another aircraft on his runway and needing to suddenly pull up. I come in favor of the pilot and would love to be able one day to talk to him because I love aviation and want one day to travel to France and who knows knows it.paulinho@rapix.com.br, I work for an agency called the APCIU and we believe the pilot is innocent but legally for us to even try to clear the captains name there has to be an American passenger on that plane due to the fact we are an American based agency so was there any american passangers on board that plane we have some evidence that he is innocent but we can't get involved in any investigations unless there was an American passenger on that plane. Captain Michel Asseline asserted that the altimeter read 30m (100'). There was no reply and the thick black smoke made a visual check impossible, so she exited the fuselage. Menu. Who went to prison? Captain Michel Asseline got burnt doing a routine, everyday maneuver that his plane just couldnt handle, one that an open-cockpit biplane could. Michel Asseline, a senior pilot with Air France for eight years, was fired Wednesday following a particularly grave failure for which he was held responsible and which made his continued employment with Air France impossible, a company spokesman said. The aircraft was on ground for a week for saftety checks and the captain was downgraded for 2 years to a FO. You must learn and follow the rules otherwise you may DIE or kill someone else and die.This one fact that Michael choose to fly at 100ft that Michael performed as the pilot in charge of this Aircraft is sufficient to place the guilt firmly in his lap. COLMAR, France (AP) _ The pilot of an Airbus A320 jetliner that crashed during a 1988 air show, killing three passengers while hundreds watched, was sentenced to six months in prison Friday. One simple mistake doesn't cause an airplane crash. [ 1,292 more word ] Re: Pilots that make mistakes, which result in tragety or serious consequences, and where are they today, http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=m a4bc613c6d. It is BASIC knowledge!!! My father was in no doubt that the pilot was solely responsible for the crash, as M. Assline was well known to be over-confident in his appreciation of his flying abilities by all who worked with him (ie: a 'cocky' sort). . . Captain Asseline was victim of strange circumstances, and his imprisonment had no reason.Kjeld Olsen, Denmark. There is a very good reason for it. Anytime there are questions suspicions involving large corporations and/or government power, one can usually follow the money to find the truth. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine launched a movement towards improving the quality of patient, I came across a story today, shocking and all too common. Asseline's experience of flying the aircraft type at the outer limits of its flight performance envelope may have led to overconfidence and complacency. The fact the plane took over in the end should have been of no concern to him and his passengers had he followed the rules and flown at 500ft. If that's true then that is a huge mistake. It then takes one second more to go from 67 to 83% N1. We thank you for your support and hope you'll join the largest aviation community on the web. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Today, the captain, Michel Asseline has lost his French pilot license for 8 years. (See Air Inter Flight 148. show at Mulhouse Habsheim in France. The evidence is clear - the plane was at alphamax (high angle of attack), at very low airspeed, and with engine set to idle. Traduzioni in contesto per "had the endorsement" in inglese-italiano da Reverso Context: I hope the Commission will pay very serious attention to them since they have had the endorsement also of the Regional Affairs Committee. Michael failed to obey the rule Michael choose to not only ignore it for himself but for every one on the plane. Case Study 9: Leap of Faith Summary: In the case study, Captain Michel Asseline piloted the brand new Airbus A320 for the airshow in France. Not only was he told to go there, he was told the wrong runway to overfly. Some passengers had difficulty unfastening their seatbelts because they were unfamiliar with the mechanism (which differs from the type used in car seatbelts). Today, the captain, Michel Asseline has lost his French pilot license for 8 years. I am Captain Michel. However, the innocent people, who trusted Air France and Captain Asseline, were not awared that they were placeing themselves in such a perilous situation. He wanted to pop up 70 feet to get over the trees. 12:44:45 - 'Flaps 3' is selected as the aircraft descends through 500 feet (150m) at an airspeed of 177 knots. Wouldnt a 200-foot overflight be nearly as spectacular? its the fault of the AIRBUS not the pilot, NO it isn't. One of the worst things you can do if a pilot makes a mistake, is fire him thinking that the problem is solved. The door opened partway, and the emergency escape slide began inflating while it was stuck partly inside the fuselage. 3 people died due to smoke. But the take home message, why do you spend every day at work in the cross-hairs of numerous non-producers who cant do the job, but are stalking you? However, the elevators did not respond to the pilot's commands because the A320's computer system engaged its "alpha protection" mode (meant to prevent the aircraft from entering a stall). Asseline did not find the aerodrome in . Nor, then, were his passengers. A passenger tried to open the left-side overwing exit. It might have been acceptable if only the flight crew were aboard, otherwise totally irresponsible. But the truth is that the new technology has caused some crashes as well. The organization is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care in the VA health care system, ensuring the doctor-patient relationship is maintained and strengthened. I even can't remember the name of the Germanwings pilot at the moment and he is quite "famous". This and another point i wish to make the fact that most pilots would have performed a procedure called a go around when approaching an airport that you are unfamiliar with. The Captain begins to flare the aircraft (he lifts the nose 4) to level its flight. Defects come in all shades. -- the black box indicates (as does the video) the plane was clearly too low and too slow for the maneuver. "No, of course they shouldn't. Air France was especially impressed with the A320, which was the first fly-by-wire airplane ever to carry passengers. I want to do a good job and take pride in my work. Spectral analysis of the engine sounds indicated that 0.6 seconds later, both engines had reached 91% (by this stage, they were starting to ingest vegetation). The official report from BEA concluded that the probable cause of the accident was a combination of the following: Furthermore, the bureau concluded that if the descent below 100 feet was not deliberate, it may have resulted from a failure by the crew to take proper account of the visual and aural information available to them regarding the elevation "above ground level" (AGL) of the aircraft. Have you ever feared losing your job? Because the aircraft's altitude had fallen below 100ft, the plane's computer may have been programmed to believe it was landing and therefore prevent any drastic manoeuvres from either pilot. Interruption of the power occurred forward of the tail sectionmost probably in the wheel-well area, which was heavily damaged. The combination of these issues and possible pilot error results in a crash into a nearby forest that kills three passengers. He was the lead test pilot for the A320 in its development. Would YOU be happy to know your pilot was playing with your life? Prison of Precision (Part 2) by Stephen Vaughn MD, Ph. *Captain Michel Asseline got thrown under the Airbus. His craft was the third Airbus ever built. Asseline argues that he attempted to apply thrust earlier than indicated in the flight recorder data. the plane was stalled? If he maintained 100ft, the aicraft would've missed the 40ft trees! [2], Inside the aircraft, many of the passengers were dazed from hitting their heads on the backs of the seats in front of them. Big business wins in the end and Captain Asseline took the fall. The plane crashed because of a design defect; but because it was software and not metal, it was ignored. The Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) continued to operate for about one second, then recorded nonsensical data for another two seconds. Why well to see were i am landing first to know that what i have been given as a map of the airport is infarct correct.That the runway I am landing on has no trucks parked on it performing maintenance or potholes that have not been repaired or reported. Fly-by-wire was perfect for this precision maneuver of an aircraft. He was not qualified for what was, essentially, display flying. Airport overviews from the air or ground, Tails and Winglets If he was still alive today he would be around 92 years old, so I fear he's long since more than likely passed away. airfrance took 4secs to respond too. Fly-by-wire was perfect for this precision maneuver of an aircraft. The A320 had been recently introduced, and Flight 296 was the first passenger flight of the A320. The DFDR was read the same night by the Brtigny sur Orge Flight Test Centre: Investigators found that the aircraft had been airworthy, that its weight and centre-of-gravity had been within limits, and that there was no evidence of mechanical or electronic systems failure. Then, sightseeing charter passengers would board and the aircraft would fly the short distance to the small MulhouseHabsheim Airfield. The overflight of the airfield at the Aerodrome was to take place at alpha-max, the lowest speed at which a craft could fly without stalling. This is a sad but fundamental truth lying at the heart of human nature. guilty of manslaughter and bodily harm, again on the basis of the Get a job criticizing - nobody blames you for doing that. Overflight at this altitude made the demonstration to the crowd even more awe-inspiring. It certainly gives the impression of bias, even if there was none. Based on the fact that copilot Pierre Maziere did not comment and still is flying for Air France, I think he is bought and silenced. 500 feet is the law it is not simple a suggestion. The aircraft levels off at 30 feet (9.1m). Captain Asseline flew the aircraft manually. Air France was especially impressed with the A320, which was the first fly-by-wire airplane ever to carry passengers. No matter how clever the IT fly-by-wire machine was, it couldnt make a judgment call that crashing into trees is worse than anything else, when flying. Five individuals, including the captain and first officer, were later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. However, the Captain is also to blame because he should have never agreed to take passengers along on such a dangerous flight. ), The Prison of Precision by Stephen Vaughn MD, Ph.D. After the first pass, the first officer would then apply the takeoff/go-around switch (TOGA) power and climb steeply before turning back for the second pass. Therefore, Captain Asseline has to also take some responsibility for those that died and those that were maimed for life. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Not only was he told to go there, he was told the wrong runway to overfly. This response of the engines complied with their certification data.[2]. It was piloted by a premier captain of Air France, Captain Michel Asseline, with over10,000 air hours, and led the training division of Air France for qualifying pilots on the Airbus 320.
