@alamdar4everyone A parachtue that is able to carry a plane? I don't think it would be possible.

You are wrong. These planes were designed in Canada to fly in this weather.. This has been the ONLY fatal crash of Dash 8's. It is actually preferred by pilots to fly. The crash was simply pilot error. Have a nice day.

i remember waiking up seeing this on the news and then i looked out my window and saw the flames a few blocks away from my house
-
as somebody who lives in Buffalo i think it's almost manditory that you should have plenty of cold weather flying under your belt before you dare attempt flying here.

yeah, over a densely populated area...brilliant. *rollseyes*

Planes have to be treated with respect since unlike vehicles on the ground, a plane RELIES on fluid (airflow).
Some airline wisdoms pilots should remember:
1) Never run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas at the same time.
2) 3 most useless things in aviation: the altitude above you, runway behind you, fuel back at the airport.
These 2 points lead to 95+ percent of crashes. Only the remaining <5 percent (or less) are caused by turbulent weather or mechanical failure.

megc102408, you made an excellent point. Airline pilots should not be treated as airline drivers. That is the fatal mistake many airline companies are making. All they care about is if the candidate has enough flight hours and certificates.
I know some people who went to crappy schools to build flight hours and since they were inadequately trained, got involved in accidents (density altitude conditions, shear/crosswinds, unintentional stall due to ignoring attitude indicator).
-
from what i know, the plane didn't have a stall horn, and the yoke shook due to turbulence...instead of pitching down and increasing engine power, the pilot/copilot tried to pitch up worsening the stall...i am not a pilot (yet), but I learned aerodynamics and I know how to fly the flight sims. Even I know that the ONLY way to come out of a stall is to pitch down and increasing manifold pressure.
Pitch controls airspeed, Throttle controls rate of descent/climb (not the other way round)...
-
yes, pretty much, the plane got too slow and didn't have enough air over the wings to sustain flight and they crashed...the airplane actually stalled once and recovered briefly where the pilot should have added power to the engine, but didn't and it continued to the ground at 120 mph or so.

so your uncle?
has anyone notice there being a high number of plane crshes this year

airlines should always have a parachute
tied to their aircrft so that in case of emergency the parachute pops out and lands the plane safely.Use a very big one
