(From USA Today) — As Air France Flight 447 plunged in the darkness two years ago, its pilots had ample opportunities to save the jet. Instead, as has happened repeatedly on airliners around the world, they exacerbated the problem, according to preliminary information released by French investigators. The Air France disaster, which killed 228 people on their way from Brazil to France on June 1, 2009, is the latest example — and one of the most deadly — of the biggest killer in aviation: a plane going out of control. The latest information in the Air France case, released Friday by French investigators, is spurring renewed calls for better pilot training and other measures. “If this was a technical problem (with the jet), we’d be saying we need to fix this,” says John Cox, a former airline pilot and safety consultant who has written on loss of control for the British Royal Aeronautical Society. “There have been those of us in the industry that have been arguing for this for decades.” What is needed is better training so pilots are not as startled and confused during emergencies, and better tools to warn them when their planes are about to go out of control, the experts say.
