The investigation concluded that one of three pitot tubes, used to measure airspeed, was blocked. [10], Shortly after the crash of flight 301, the airline's overall image and profits became heavily damaged, and some of its planes were grounded at the same time. About 20 seconds before crash, the captain finally attempted to recover from the stall by increasing the plane's thrust to full, but as the aircraft was still in a nose up attitude, the engines were prevented from receiving adequate airflow required to match the increase in thrust. The investigation concluded that one of three pitot tubes, used to measure airspeed, was blocked. On February 6, 1996, the 757-200 operating the route crashed shortly after take-off from Puerto Plata's Gregorio Lupern International Airport. [5][6], The crew consisted of 11 Turks and 2 Dominicans.

[7]:16 With all contradictory warnings given by the plane, the confused captain decided to reduce thrust of the plane, believing it was flying too fast. After checking their circuit breakers for the source of the warnings, the crew then reduced thrust to lower the speed. Birgenair Flight 301 was a flight chartered by Turkish-managed Birgenair partner Alas Nacionales from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic to Frankfurt, Germany, via Gander, Canada, and Berlin, Germany. 1996 plane crash off the coast of the Dominican Republic. more.Episode 4. It was known by the Birgenair mechanics that the airplane should be returned to Turkey in a ferry flight within the next 3 days.

Atlas Air Flight 3591 was a scheduled domestic cargo flight under the Amazon Air banner between Miami International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. The co-pilot's ASI read 200 knots (370km/h) and decreasing, yet the aircraft started to give multiple contradictory warnings that it was flying too fast, including rudder ratio, Mach airspeed, and overspeed lights and sounds. Bhoja Air Flight 213 was a domestic scheduled passenger flight operated by Pakistani airline Bhoja Air from Karachi to Islamabad. [16]. Four passengers survived the crash, all of whom were seated in the same row. The crash and ensuing negative publicity both contributed to Birgenair's bankruptcy. Behind Closed Doors. It is widely used to determine the airspeed of aircraft; the water speed of boats; and the flow velocity of liquids, air, and gases in industry. Birgenair Flight 301 was a flight chartered by Turkish-managed Birgenair partner Alas Nacionales from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic to Frankfurt, Germany, via Gander, Canada, and Berlin, Germany. [2] The aircraft initially came on special charter flights for Turkish guest workers. The autopilot, which was taking its airspeed information from the same equipment that was providing faulty readings to the captain's ASI, increased the pitch-up attitude and reduced power in order to lower the plane's airspeed. [11] At 23:47 AST, the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) sounded an audible warning, and eight seconds later the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Then, the second circuit breaker was pulled to silence the warning. Air France Flight 447 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France. Investigators believe that the most likely culprit was the black and yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium), a type of solitary sphecid wasp well known to Dominican pilots, which makes a cylindrical nest out of mud and tends to establish a nest in artificial, cylindrical structures. In April 1992, the fleet was expanded with a . As the crew prepared the cabin for takeoff and weary passengers sat back in their seats to get some much-needed rest, the Boeing 757 left the gate. All 176 passengers and 13 crew members died on impact. According to the final report, section 2.3 "Aircraft maintenance factors", the aircraft had not flown in 20 days, however, this was not the duration for which pitots remained uncovered, but was evidently enough time to allow the wasps the opportunity to construct nests in the tubes. Birgenair. According to final report, section 2.3 - "Aircraft maintenance factors", the aircraft had not flown in 20 days, however, this was not the period in which pitots remained uncovered, but enough to giving the wasps an opportunity to build nests in the tubes. Then, the second circuit breaker was pulled to silence the warning. On 6 February 1996, the 757-200 operating the route crashed shortly after take-off from Puerto Plata's Gregorio Lupern International Airport. On October 2, 1996, the Boeing 757-23A aircraft flying the final leg of the flight crashed, killing all 70 people aboard. All 189 people on board died. The ASI measures the pressure differential between static pressure from the static port, and total pressure from the pitot tube. Results from a number of simulations with experienced pilots found that the combination of the overspeed warning horn and underspeed stick shaker while in flight was an overly confusing contradictory set of messages for many pilots; the FAA issued a directive that pilot training would now include a blocked pitot tube scenario.

Later, Birgenair refute section 2.3 of the final report, regarding the proper maintenance procedure in Puerto Plata. June 1997. pp. Errors in pitot-static system readings can be extremely dangerous as the information obtained from the pitot static system, such as altitude, is potentially safety-critical. As the plane was closing to stall, its path became unstable and it started descending. Birgenair went bankrupt in October of the same year as there were concerns about safety after the accident, causing a decline in passenger numbers. All 13 crew members and 176 passengers were killed.

After the flight voice recorder revealed that the co-pilot and a third pilot on the flight deck had made relatively subtle suggestions to the pilot - once the stick-shaker warning commenced - that he must deal with the fact that the plane was still in a speed-draining nose-up attitude, protocols and training were reinforced to establish a greater willingness of junior flight-deck staff to be more forceful in similar situations. The pilot's choice to go against protocol and execute takeoff despite his ASI clearly disagreeing with the co-pilot's ASI has resulted in protocols and training being further reinforced following this incident. He had 3,500 hours of flying experience, though only 71 hours were on the Boeing 757.

[4], The aircraft was a 11-year-old Boeing 757-225 originally delivered to Eastern Air Lines in February 1985 and registered as N516EA. The professed advantage of flight envelope protection systems is that they restrict a pilot's excessive control inputs, whether in surprise reaction to emergencies or otherwise, from translating into excessive flight control surface movements. About 20 seconds before crash, the captain finally attempted to recover from the stall by increasing the plane's thrust to full, but as the aircraft was still in a nose up attitude, the engines were prevented from receiving adequate airflow required to match the increase in thrust.
