Details of continental flight 3407

Colgan Airlines Flight 3407 is sold as a continental connection under the code agreement with Continental Airlines. This is a scheduled passenger flight from Newark, New Jersey to Buffalo, new york, which crashed on February 12, 2009. Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 enters pneumatic stall. It didn't recover and crashed into a house in Clarence Center, new york. At10:17 (03:17 utc), 49 passengers and crew members were killed, and one person in the house was also killed.

The accident triggered a round of investigation on the operation of regional airlines in the United States. This is the first fatal aviation accident since the crash of Comair 5 19 1 in August 2006, which killed 49 people.

The accident was investigated in national transportation safety board, USA, and the final report was released on February 2, 20 10. It is found that the possible reason is that the pilot did not respond properly to the stall warning.

The families of the victims of the accident lobbied the US Congress to make stricter regulations on regional airlines and improve the review of safe operating procedures and pilots' working conditions. 20 10 "Aviation Safety and Federal Aviation Management Extension Act" requires some amendments to these regulations.

Chinese name: Continental Connection Flight 3407 air crash mbth: Colgan Airlines Flight 3407? Date: February, 2009 12 Abstract: Passengers fell into the house during the landing approach: 45 crew members: 4 people were killed: 50 people were injured: (non-fatal) 4 people (ground) Model: Bombardier DHC8-402 Q400 Operator: Colgan Airlines Registration: N200WQ Starting point: Newark Liberty International Airport Destination. 02: 18 UTC) at 9: 0018 pm, fly from Newark Liberty International Airport to Niagara International Airport in Buffalo. The twin-engine turboprop aircraft Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, FAA registration form N200WQ, was manufactured for Colgan in 2008. [5] This is the first passenger flight fatality of Kolgan Airlines since the establishment of 199 1. The previous ferry (without passengers) crashed in the Massachusetts Sea in August 2003, killing all the people on board. The accident happened in la guardia airport, when another plane collided with Colgan and taxied at the same time, causing minor injuries to the flight attendants. [6] Captain Marvin Rensler, 47, from Lutz, Florida, is the pilot, and Rebecca Lynn Shaw, 24, from Maple Valley, Washington, is the co-pilot. [7] [8] [9] There are two flight attendants: Mathilda quintero and Donna prisco. Captain Renslow joined the company in September, 2005. The accumulated flying hours are 3,379 hours, which is11hour on Q400. From June 5th, 2008 to October, 2008, Mr. Shaw worked for 2,244 hours, including 774 hours in turbojet engines, including Q400. [10] There are 2 Canadian passengers, China passengers 1 and Israeli passengers 1. Including the crew, the remaining 46 people are Americans. [1 1] Brief introduction of the accident The FAA ILS/LOC approach board is on runway 23 of Niagara International Airport (KBUF) in Buffalo. The flight crashed (marked in red) near LOM (identifier: "KLUMP"), about 5 nautical miles from Rwy 23 terminal. After the flight, it disappeared from the radar on the way to Buffalo Niagara International Airport on runway 23 instrument landing system. The weather includes light snow, fog and cold mixture with wind speed of 15 knots. After take-off 1 1 min, the deicing system is turned on. Shortly before the plane crashed, the pilot discussed the large amount of ice accumulated on the wing and windshield of the plane. [12] [13] [14] The other two planes reported icing and crashed at about time. The last radio transmission of the flight took place when the co-pilot confirmed the routine instruction to change the tower frequency. The plane is located 3.0 miles (4.8 kilometers) northeast of the radio beacon KLUMP (see photo). The crash occurred at 4 1 sec after the last transmission. As ATC approach control could not get any further response from this flight, we requested the assistance of Delta 1998 and American Airlines 1452. And I can't find the missing plane. [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] After the final approach, the landing gear and flaps were released (5 degrees). The flight data recorder (FDR) shows that the airspeed has dropped to 145 knots (269 km/h). [2] The captain then asked to increase the flap to 15 degrees. The airspeed continues to decelerate to 135 knots (250km/h). Six seconds later, the rocker of the plane was activated, warning that it was about to stall, and the speed continued to slow down to 13 1 knot (243 km/h). The captain suddenly pulled back the control lever and then increased the thrust to 75% power instead of lowering the nose and applying full power. This is a suitable stall recovery technology. This improper action makes the nose move further upward, thus increasing the G load and stall speed. The push rod was activated ("After the pneumatic stall, the Q400 push rod applied the input of the aircraft descent control column to reduce the angle of attack of the wing [AOA]"), but the captain overtook the push rod and continued to pull back the control column. The co-pilot retracted the flaps without consulting the captain, making it more difficult to recover them. [20] At the last moment, the plane pitched 3 1 degree, then pitched 25 degrees, then turned left 46 degrees, and returned to 105 degrees to the right. It is estimated that the force on passengers is nearly twice that of gravity. The crew did not make an emergency statement because they quickly lost their altitude and crashed into a house at 6038 Long Street, about 5 miles (8.0 kilometers) from the end of the runway, with their heads pointing in the distance. Because the fuel tank broke in the collision, the plane exploded and caught fire, destroying the houses of Douglas and Karen Vilinski and most of the planes. Douglas was killed; His wife Karen and their daughter Jill managed to escape with only minor injuries. The surrounding families are rarely damaged, even though the area is only 60 feet (18.3 meters) wide. [22] The house is close to Clarence Central Fire Company, so emergency personnel can respond quickly. Two firemen were injured. Houses near 12 were evacuated. [13] [19] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] Investigation document: NTSB Colgan Airlines Flight 3407 crash animation. ogv this 3D animation reconstruction shows the last 2 minutes of the accident on February 12, 2009. Bombardier DHC-8-400, N200WQ, operated by Colgan Airlines, crashed at the airport 5 nautical miles northeast of Buffalo-Niagara International Airport in Buffalo, New York, when the instrument landing system reached runway 23. The national transportation safety board (NTSB) began its investigation on February 3, 2004, and was composed of 14 investigators. [16] [17] [44] Washington, D.C. [19] [45] The data extracted from FDR and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) showed that shortly after the flaps and landing gear were lowered, the aircraft experienced severe pitching and rolling oscillation, and then the "rocker" stall system was activated. The plane dropped 800 feet (240 meters), and then crashed in the northeast direction, facing the entrance of the airport. [13] [19] [26] [46] [47] [19] The frozen temperature makes the collision fragments difficult to approach. Portable heaters are used to melt the ice left after fire fighting. Carefully remove the human residue and finally identify it within a few weeks. The cockpit was hit the most, while the main cabin was mainly destroyed by the subsequent fireball. Passengers in the back row are still sitting in their seats. [26] [46] [48] The autopilot is in control until the stall warning rocker is activated. NTSB found no evidence of severe icing conditions that required pilots to fly manually. [49] Colgan suggested that pilots should fly manually in icy conditions, and asked pilots to fly in harsh icy conditions. In June 5438+February, 2008, NTSB issued a safety bulletin on the danger of maintaining autonomous driving under icing conditions. Manual flight of aircraft is essential to ensure that pilots can detect the change of aircraft handling characteristics, which is a warning signal of ice accumulation. [50] [5 1] [52] The push rod was activated after the team leader improperly reacted to the rocker stall warning. According to the design, when it felt that the stall was coming, it pushed the nose down, but the captain reacted improperly again. By pulling back the control lever again, the extra safety device was overloaded, causing the plane to stall and crash. [53] Bill Voss, chairman of the Flight Safety Foundation, told USA-Today that it sounded like the plane was in a "very bad situation". [54] On May, 2009, Captain Renslow's training record information was released. He failed to "check the ride" three times [55], including some paid flight plans of Gulfstream International [need to be quoted], and hinted that he might not have received enough training to deal with the fatal decline of the plane caused by emergency. Investigators examined possible crew fatigue. The captain seems to have spent the night at Newark airport, the day before the accident flight at 9: 00 p.m.18. The co-pilot flew from Seattle to Newark overnight. [2] [56] These findings during the investigation prompted the FAA to issue a "call to action" to improve the practices of regional airlines. [57] In response to NTSB's inquiry, Colgan Airlines officials admitted that the two pilots obviously did not pay close attention to the aircraft's instruments and did not correctly follow the airline's procedures for dealing with the upcoming stall. "I believe that Captain Renslow really intends to land safely in Buffalo, and the first official Xiao, but obviously in the last few minutes ... John Barrett, director of Colgan Flight Standards, said:" The flight instruments are not monitored, which shows a lack of understanding of the situation. " . On May 6, 2009, 5438+02, the official transcript of crew communication obtained from CVR and the animated description of the collision constructed using Roosevelt data were provided to the public. Some crew members' correspondence violates federal regulations and prohibits unnecessary conversations. From May 65438, 2002 to May 65438, 2004, NTSB interviewed 20 witnesses of the flight. [60] On June 3rd, 2009, The New York Times published an article [6 1], describing in detail the complaint of a FAA inspector who observed the flight test in Colgan on June 5438+1October, 2008. Just as the FAA incident handled other inspectors' complaints before, [6 1] inspectors' complaints were delayed and inspectors were demoted. The incident is being investigated by the Office of the Special Adviser, which is responsible for the complaints of American federal whistleblowers. Fifty people were killed, including 49 passengers and crew, and a resident's house was hit when the plane was destroyed. Four people were injured on the ground, including two others, who were at home when they collapsed. Among the dead were human rights investigator and Rwandan genocide expert Alison de Foukis. [11] [28] 9/ 1 1 Became the co-chairman of the Family Steering Committee, 9/1/Beverly eckert, who became the leader of the voice, 9/1. She went to Buffalo to celebrate her husband's 58th birthday. She won a scholarship from Canisius High School [1 1] [29] [30] Jerry Nywood and Coleman Mehlert, jazz musicians, are going to listen to concerts by Chuck Mangioen and Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. [1 1] Susan Wheeler, the first female Jewish revival state in the United States. [3 1] All parties responded that Colgan Airlines set up a telephone number for the affected family and friends on February 13, and opened a family assistance center at CDP in Chiktowaga, new york. [32] [33] [34] The American Red Cross has also opened reception centers in Buffalo and Newark, where family members can get support from mental health and mental health workers. [35] Six days ago, President barack obama shook hands with Beverly eckert. In the afternoon, the US House of Representatives observed a moment of silence for the victims and their families. [36] Buffalo Cavalry, the professional ice hockey team in Buffalo, kept silent before the game against the San Jose Sharks the next night. [37] University of Buffalo (UB) lost passengers 1 1 person, who were former employees, teachers or alumni, and 12 teachers, employees, students or alumni's families. They held a memorial ceremony on February 17, 2009. [38] [39] For the rest of the basketball season, there are UB players' uniforms and flight numbers. Muriel Howard, president of 1 1 Buffalo State College, made a statement about six alumni who died on Flight 3407. Beverly eckert graduated from Buffalo1975 [40] On March 4, 2009, New York Governor David Paterson proposed to set up a scholarship fund to help the children and financial dependents of 50 victims. The 3407 Memorial Scholarship will pay for four years of undergraduate study at new york State University or new york State University or a private college or university. [4 1] This accident is the basis of an episode of PBS Frontline of Regional Airlines. The issues discussed in this focus involve the supervision, training requirements, safety and working conditions of regional airlines. [42] The operating principles of regional airlines and the agreements between regional airlines and major airlines are also under discussion. [43] The FAA has proposed or implemented many rules changes caused by the accident of Flight 3407, ranging from pilot fatigue to airline transport pilot certificate (ATP) qualification, with a maximum flight experience of 65,438+0,500 hours before employment. One of the most important changes has come into effect, which changes the way inspectors check the flight simulator during the booth. [62] The investigators also reviewed the ATP Certification Practice Test Standard (PTS), which allowed the altitude loss in the simulated cabin not to exceed 100 feet (30m). NTSB believes that because of this low tolerance in the test simulation environment, pilots may always be afraid of altitude loss in stall, so they mainly focus on preventing this loss and even destroying the recovery from stall. Subsequently, the new standard issued by FAA cancelled any specific height loss regulations and required "minimum Haila loss". An inspector told an aviation magazine that he would not allow any unsuccessful applicant to lose the simulated stall altitude as long as the pilot could restore his original altitude. [62]
