an Airbus a300-605R departes from kennedy airport minutes later the plane crashes in queens New York. It was found that the pilots had been trained incorrectly when the aircraft enters wake turbulence. Though they did all they could to get the airplane under control it was too late.

  • and your comment was the worst in youtube

  • It was an airbus, and the model the guy uses is an airbus a300, tail and the nose show this.

    Also the tail broke off when they used a rudder proceedure that they were taught, which caused stress on the tail

  • what game is this? i wanna make something!

  • "Though they did all they could to get the airplane under control it was too late."

    The pilot in control caused the upset, a pilot-induced oscillation , which subjected the tail to loads exceeding the certification limit x2. All the PIC had to do is let go of the rudder before the bang, and the plane would have stabilized on its own. The wake turbulence was really no big deal, but it caused the PIC to overreact, to the point he wasn't aware he was causing the upset, not the wake turbulence.

  • so it was an a00 at least i got the manufactuer right. sheesh u r not a person to say something wrong to. lighten up. who cares wat plane it was? it crashed killing every 1

  • @Lifty4ever oh yes of course it was a a320! and the JAL 747 wasnt a 747 after all it was just a cessna. dude get ur facts right it was a A300. American never flew a320s.

  • I hear that the F/O actually ABUSED the Rudder that's the reason why the plane crashed.

  • What's V one?

  • @Lifty4ever It was definitely an A300. Look at the seconds from disaster documentary here on Youtube. There's your proof.

  • Never knew A300 used rb211s.

  • @FsimulatorX yea i know lol i found that out already...

  • u is a bitch thats all
