vintage66 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Airbus planes are mostly safe but on the rare times I hear about Airbus crashing, it's mostly because of bad weather or pilot errors. I've never heard of any boeing aircrafts falling into the ocean belly first. In the case of air France 447 that crashed on June first 2009, that accident was because of pilot error but it seems to me that it they were flying a Boeing 777, they would've figured that they put the plane into a stall since Boeings are equipped with stick shakers wich are hard to ignore. What do you think about that ? Would the air France 447 still crash if it was a 777 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgwilson Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) It is definitely You. AF 447 was an A330. Edited August 27 by kgwilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The only plane I've flow that had a stick shaker was a DOUGLAS DC 9 which was later a Boeing 717. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Plenty of Boeings have gone into the ocean, or terrain, stalled. 90% of aircraft crashes are pilot error, says the crash statistics. I think you need to troll elsewhere. How about bringing up a story about regular Russian pilot incompetence, or Tupolev unreliability?

facthunter Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Boeing may succeed in changing that statistic. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
