@Nneka1963

If you never let an unexperienced pilot land in bad conditions, how should he learn it?

[cyclist14]

women drivers...

[ca11um15]

sorry i tend to misread alot sorry

[Nneka1963]

Hello UAL4ever, I'm sure you can read otherwise you wounldn't have replied to me "PERSONALLY" in my comment here! I stated what German Television had said and "Quoted" NOT my own personal feelingins! I personally don't like flying but that doesn't mean that I have no idea what's going on! FIRST of all, READ comments correctly, THEN make your judgements! OK? Have I made myself clear? Good! Nnek@ ;o)

Well they aborted landing and went around for another attempt to land and made it but the tower can only deny landings if there is a severe thunderstorm or harsh winds and rains. The tower i think has a instrument that states if there is crosswinds or not and i guess it was too late to alert the pilot. Also it was just the wingtip that was damaged and yeah maybe grounded till the FAA gives the clearance after it`s repair.

[UAL4ever]

But you can ask any instructor that female pilot has to go through a crosswind landing at some time in their life or they will never advance to bigger aircraft. even if she had her license for a year it is still a good way to take notes for the mistakes you made so you`ll do better in the next crosswind landing. How do you think the 39 year old knew how to get out of it? by going through the same thing she went through when he was at her level

human always not get enough,people start said he was not hero!but they have to know that always accident couse by something not mater u are good or not,in this matter pilot save the life of people,what he if he let the plane crush and people die?ehh how many good pilot they let their planes crush and a lot of people die??? so the trusth remining PILOT WAS A HERO NO MATTER WHAT THEY SIT AND TALK.

On Germany tv last night "FOCUS TV" on Pro7

they interviewed Experts. The Experts stated that the 24 yr old female Co-Pilot who has had her licence for only 1 year should NOT have been trying to land the plane in these conditions due to her lack of experience especially with "CROSS-WINDS". The 39 yr old male Pilot who then took control should have ABORTED this landing much earlier!. He is now not the Hero everyone first thought. The reports of this investion should be ready in April, 2008.
