A court in Colmar, in eastern France, also sentenced pilot Michel Asseline to 12 additional months, which were suspended. Asseline had total confidence in the aircraft's computer systems. Anytime there are questions suspicions involving large corporations and/or government power, one can usually follow the money to find the truth. ), The Prison of Precision by Stephen Vaughn MD, Ph.D. Now he was not planning on landing so these were of no interest to him.So then what safety reason would he have to go around? The transcription was later clarified with the assistance of the pilots involved. The DFDR was read the same night by the Brtigny sur Orge Flight Test Centre: Investigators found that the aircraft had been airworthy, that its weight and centre-of-gravity had been within limits, and that there was no evidence of mechanical or electronic systems failure. Prison of Precision (Part 2) by Stephen Vaughn MD, Ph. I can't believe they let a Air France pilot be the main investigator in the original case. And in the end its all a metter of money and intrest. Therefore, Captain Asseline has to also take some responsibility for those that died and those that were maimed for life. I find it ironic that so many people blame the captain and no mention of Air France who planned the entire thing! The flight plan originally filed did not include the flyover of the Habsheim Air Show, which was added on the morning of the flight. There's every reason to suspect Airbus is correct, that many crashes have been prevented. Then pretty much all doubt was removed by the crash of AF447, in which the flight data recorders showed that Airbus' control systems were completely incapable of dealing with a situation that would have been routine for a conventionally controlled aircraft, and the pilots were equally unable to deal with it, since they had basically never been trained to truly fly the aircraft. I sincerely believe that AirBus was involved but not with a planned coverup. Related news. Captain Asseline was flying to Mont Blanc, period. [2], Habsheim aerodrome was too small to be listed in the aircraft's flight computer, thereby requiring a visual approach; both pilots were also unfamiliar with the airfield when they began their descent from 2,000 feet (610m) only 6 nautical miles (11km) from the field. Management often screws around. ButThe black boxes shown in court were clearly NOT the ones from the plane and many questionable and/or unauthorized persons DID have access to them at various times in the investigation. The official report from BEA concluded that the probable cause of the accident was a combination of the following: Furthermore, the bureau concluded that if the descent below 100 feet was not deliberate, it may have resulted from a failure by the crew to take proper account of the visual and aural information available to them regarding the elevation "above ground level" (AGL) of the aircraft. However, while the pilots were trained in metric, this particular plane was in Imperial units. A pilot in charge has the ability to abort, and having realized that he was given bad information, he should have.-- Asseline had to override a safety to perform the maneuver planned for the airshow.-- Asseline claims that he thought the trees were bushes. If that's true then that is a huge mistake. *Whos going to fly the goddamn airplanes in the future? I'd give the pilot 30-40% responsibility for the crash. The plan was to overfly Runway Ought-2; the aircraft was configured for a low-altitude overflight. Discover (and save) your own Pins on Pinterest. And that's a big systematic default. Captain Michel Asseline asserted that the altimeter read 30m (100'). The overflight of the airfield at the Aerodrome was to take place at alpha-max, the lowest speed at which a craft could fly without stalling. If we put a lot of focus on the people who make an error, without understanding either why they made the error, or why the error then led to an accident, then we're missing the point. He had been charged with ``involuntary homicides and injuries.. We dont give your email out and we dont spam you. Anyone who has worked same job for years will know what I mean when I say we don't really have to think about what we are doing at work we just do it because we have done it so many times before and know exactly how to do it correctly. Michel Asseline, a senior pilot with Air France for eight years, was fired Wednesday following a particularly grave failure for which he was held responsible and which made his continued employment with Air France impossible, a company spokesman said. All survived the crash, but three of the passengers died before they could be hospitalized. But upon seeing the Aerodrome, the pilot saw that the audience were gathered elsewhere, on Runway 34R. Decisions can only be made after a proper investigation. This was to showcase the Both pilots Captain Asseline and First Officer Mazire survived. You are Captain Michel Asseline. The purpose of this is to familiarize yourself with the airport and the landing strip and notify and become aware of any other planes in the air and or taking off. The crash was a great embarrassment to Air France and Airbus, a European company with deep roots in France. Guilty. I am appalled that the court found fit to blaim teh air carsh mainly on Captain Michel Asseline, as so many faults were made (like the height instructions, missing of the forrest, etc.). What is crucial is to understand the threats that can lead to errors, look at how those threats can be mitigated, and have procedures in place that allow errors to be caught and resolved before they become a safety event. Five individuals, including the captain and first officer, were later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. I think the best example of this case would be Captain Lyle Prouse - he went to jail for flying a passenger flight while drunk, lost his job with NW as well as his FAA licence, and ends up being rehired, regained his licence & retired from NW as a 747 captain. Ascending at such an angle would lead to the planes stalling within minutes. Have you ever feared losing your job? Since the plane was going slow, the computer overrode his input, and denied the maneuver. I should estimate that in my experience most troubles and most possibilities for improvement add up to the proportions something like this: 94% belongs to the system (responsibility of management), 6% special. Page 315 of Out of the Crisis by Dr. W. Edwards Deming. The Airbus A320 couldnt handle it. Captain Michel Asseline served a year in prison. However why were passengers allowed on this flight. He is in a wheel chair now, but thats gotta be a tough one to be the one and only survivor and its because of an error on his part. Bullshit. The combination of these issues and possible pilot error results in a crash into a nearby forest that kills three passengers. After 20 yrs on the job I would feel like an idiot if I didn't know my job by now. show at Mulhouse Habsheim in France. Air France was especially impressed with the A320, which was the first fly-by-wire airplane ever to carry passengers. [2] The flyover had been approved by Air France's Air Operations Directorate and Flight Safety Department, and air traffic control and Basel tower had been informed. Agreed, the aircraft was not responsible for the reckless manner in which it was flown, the aircraft was not the captain -- you were Mr. Asseline. Re: Pilots that make mistakes -- Where are they today? The captain made a last-second turn and approach to overfly Runway 34R. and the rule he broke was the defining factor that caused the accident. The day after the crash, French transport officials called a news conference to say the pilots were flying too slow and too low. 3 people died due to smoke. There are many more lessons to be learned about the practice of medicine from the story of Prisoner Michel Asseline sorry, Captain Michel Asseline. Self: Air Crash Investigation. [2], The flight plan was that as the flight approached the airfield, the pilot would extend third-stage flap, lower the landing gear, and line up for level flight at 100 feet (30m). This is a clear case of giving a good dog a bad name in other to hang it.Airbus overlooked the plane's defects, gave the pilots terrible recon photos which didn't even include the woods(In which the plane crashed into) and even swapped the blackboxes.Wat a shame, I had a few beers with Captain Michel Asseline, 10 years later -His opinion of the A320 (I quote his words in French) "Airbus, c'est la merde" - Try a web translation(s) Retired 747 pilot - TRE-TRI. All the passengers were specially selected for the trip. He was the lead test pilot for the A320 in its development. But its all about me and you. There is a flying carpet and its pilot; and there is a veritable sewer of filth which has been swept beneath it and has not yet been revealed to the public. He always could have done a couple fly overs and looped back. And how is it possible that the flight deck crew did not look into the obstacles around the airport with flying this low??? Get a job criticizing nobody blames you for doing that. [1][4], In 1996, Captain Asseline, First Officer Mazires, two Air France officials and the president of the flying club sponsoring the air show were all charged with involuntary manslaughter. 12:44:45 - 'Flaps 3' is selected as the aircraft descends through 500 feet (150m) at an airspeed of 177 knots. The aircraft levels off at 30 feet (9.1m). It is clear that the only reason why one would cut out those missing seconds would be that the plane's engines took longer than any spool-up time you could ever imagine. I think the pilot is culpable. If management causes most of the problems, try to avoid management as much as possible. Air France Flight 296Q was a chartered flight of a new Airbus A320-111 operated by Air France for Air Charter International. This is why Michael in the end is were the blame ends up being put. He knowingly took the passengers and aircraft into a dangerous situation, purposefully disabled some of the safeties (i.e. [2] Mazires had 10,853 hours of flight time. The A320 had been recently introduced, and Flight 296 was the first passenger flight of the A320. Captain Michel Asseline. Business & Commercial Aviation BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL AVIATION CHALLENGING AIRPORTS LEARNING FROM TEST PILOTS His co-pilot, Pierre Mazieres, got a 12-month suspended sentence. The pilot pulled up on the yoke to ease the plane up over the hundred-foot-tall woods at the end of the runway. The plan was to overfly Runway Ought-2; the aircraft was configured for a low-altitude overflight. Hundreds of spectators witnessed the June 26, 1988, crash at the Mulhouse-Habsheim air show. Less than five seconds later, the turbines began ingesting leaves and branches as the aircraft skimmed the tops of the trees. Captain Michel Asseline asserted that the altimeter read 30m (100'). He was endorsed on the Caravelle, Boeing 707 and 737, and had qualified as an A320 captain three months before the accident. In order to accomplish the desk-pilots orders, the pilots valuable time was spent jiggering the preparations for the overflight, not allowing him to evaluate strategic details like why fly a plane at 30 feet if there are 100-foot trees at the end? As a pilot you study this rule and there are many rules. If you get blamed for everything, its better to do nothing. Captain Michel Asseline got burnt doing a routine, everyday maneuver that his plane just couldnt handle, one that an open-cockpit biplane could. Spectral analysis of the engine sounds indicated that 0.6 seconds later, both engines had reached 91% (by this stage, they were starting to ingest vegetation). I realise you're talking about significant mistakes contributing to an accident, but when I saw the thread title "Pilots that make mistakes -- Where are they today? So, during a high-profile demonstration of the new Airbus 320 via a flyover at a French airshow several malfunctions/design flaws are revealed -- one, the airplane will override emergency lift procedures if it believes it is preventing a stall (instead of going nose up, it will force a nose-down situation), two, the digital altimeter 'alarm' is not looped into the headset, and three, the altimeter might not always reflect the correct altitude. It's been implied by jealous coworkers I'm cocky. Then, sightseeing charter passengers would board and the aircraft would fly the short distance to the small MulhouseHabsheim Airfield. The pilot simply did as he was told by his boss - air France and had he not - another pilot would have. He was President of the leading French pilots union, the SNPL, at the time an Airbus A320 crashed into trees at Habsheim in Eastern France in June 1988. Airliners.net is the leading community for discovering and sharing high-quality aviation photography. Discover (and save!) Couldn't even begin to imagine what he has gone through. [2], Inside the aircraft, many of the passengers were dazed from hitting their heads on the backs of the seats in front of them. shameful arrogance! But the take home message, why do you spend every day at work in the cross-hairs of numerous non-producers who cant do the job, but are stalking you? There are several "small" inconsistencies and anomalies throughout the entire accident report which have not been explained sufficiently for any critically-thinking investigatorSTILL.The crew did NOT make sure all the passengers were out before exiting themselves as per protocol, and then misinformed the captain that everyone was out. [2], The pilots had each had a busy weekend and did not receive the flight plan until the morning of the flight. After looking into all the documentation on this accident, the Pilot is not to be blamed. Another was a girl in seat 8C, who was unable to remove her seatbelt (her older brother had removed his own seatbelt but was carried away by the rush of people before he could help his sister). airfrance took 4secs to respond too. The press was aboard. I feel that the sentence is unfair. One of the worst things you can do if a pilot makes a mistake, is fire him thinking that the problem is solved. This pilot should still be in jail for the many areas that he made. Today, they would perform a flyover at the Habsheim Air Show at the Habsheim Aerodrome and go on to a sightseeing tour of Mont Blanc. Because the aircraft's altitude had fallen below 100ft, the plane's computer may have been programmed to believe it was landing and therefore prevent any drastic manoeuvres from either pilot. The press was aboard. Props and jets from the good old days, Flight Decks I have a hard time believing that the pilot was literally four seconds from the trees when he applied power. Also punished with suspended sentences were Air Frances then-director of air operations, a security official for Air France, and the president of the Habsheim air club. He also claims he recognized that spectators were on a different runway than the one included in his flight plan. "I've done it twenty times!" He didnt familiarize himself with the airfield as he should have and he must take responsibility for flying at only 30 feet instead of 100ft. Our large helicopter section. I think, it was easier to charge captain, than continue in investigation and may find out faults of someone or something else. This response of the engines complied with their certification data.[2]. They might be paid, or simply represent interest of a much more powerful players - Air France. Guilty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panintern Flight_112, https://www.welt.de/print/wams/vermisch Licht.html, http://www.feuerwehr-krummesse.de/einsa kensee.php, http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp090 .01.en.pdf, http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/14/us/ai hance.html, http://www.avmed.in/2011/02/from-convic le-reborn/, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fir -1.2605682, https://norj.ca/2014/04/pilots-fired-af ff-course/. [3], It was also claimed by the Institute of Police Forensic Evidence and Criminology, based in Switzerland, that the flight data recorders may have been switched and were not the original ones in the airplane. Ten minutes after the crash, the first of the fire trucks arrived. Finally, the aircraft would return to Paris. However the fact he had never flown to this airport previously. [2], By this time, the fire had entered the right side of the fuselage through the damaged floor section between seat rows 10 and 15. . He cannot blame the Aircraft for not reacting as he wanted to when it was extremly low and right above stall speed. 16-ago-2021 - Captain Michel Asseline, 44, had been a pilot with Air France for almost twenty years and had the following endorsements: Caravelle; Boeing 707, 727, and 737; and Airbus A300 and A310. [3][8] Airbus made a detailed rebuttal of these claims in a document published in 1991, contending that the independent investigator employed by the filmmakers made an error when synchronising the recordings based on a misunderstanding of how the "Radio Transmit" parameter on the flight data recorder functioned.[9]. [2], The CVR was read during the night of 26 June at the BEA. [1] *Management often screws around. Sorry but the pilot is at fault. [2], First Officer Pierre Mazires, 45, had been flying with the airline since 1969 and had been a training captain for six years. There was no reply and the thick black smoke made a visual check impossible, so she exited the fuselage. You should've seen the trays long before hitting the trees. he claims to have done this before in the recording, but does not mention that it was at 20,000 feet with 40% thrust rather than 100 feet with 5% thrust. Whos going to fly the goddamn airplanes in the future? He was a highly distinguished pilot with 10,463 flight hours.

The accident aircraft, an Airbus A320-111, registration F-GFKC, serial number 9, first flew on 6 January 1988 and was delivered to Air France on 23 June, three days prior to its destruction. But it's all about me and you. Much of this stock was held in the names of various family members and shell corporations. Some seconds later the aircraft touched the tops of the trees behind the runway and crashed into a forest. This particular flight was the A320's first passenger flight (most of those on board were journalists and raffle winners). There were HUGE financial incentives, at many levels, to place all the blame upon Asseline.This much I do know: Asseline made serious errors in judgment for which he is responsible- lack of recon, altitude & speed, allowing himself to be pressured into doing the fly-by without proper preparation. It was piloted by a premier captain of Air France, Captain Michel Asseline, with over10,000 air hours, and led the training division of Air France for qualifying pilots on the Airbus 320. Asseline argues that he attempted to apply thrust earlier than indicated in the flight recorder data. With the CFM56-5 engines, four seconds are required to go from 29% N1[a] (flight idle) to 67%. [2], The official investigation was carried out by the Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA), the French air accident investigation bureau, in conjunction with Air France and Airbus. Big business wins in the end and Captain Asseline took the fall. Air France would have just replaced him. ), You can read more about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296. Captain Asseline, and four other Air France employees are convicted of involuntary manslaughter. If you remove management edicts and substitute human judgment, you can eliminate 19 out of 20 errors. Case Study 9: Leap of Faith Summary: In the case study, Captain Michel Asseline piloted the brand new Airbus A320 for the airshow in France. The egress of the passengers was temporarily halted while the purser and another flight attendant began clearing the branches. French investigation says that Asseline was trying to do an overly-ambitious maneuver and made critical errors. Asseline was initially sentenced to six months in prison along with twelve months of probation. Captain Michel Asseline served a year in prison. After a few seconds, Asseline claims, he became worried that the plane's completely computerised throttle control had malfunctioned and responded by pulling the throttle all the way back then forward again. And we dont share your email with anyone. There is evidence for this: -- Asseline was the pilot in charge of training others on this airplane, but he is on record saying that he found the secondary digital altimeter to be unreadable, and to this day he hasn't been able to use it during flight.-- The planned maneuver was unusually aggressive for a jet-- Plans for the demonstration were rushed and the information provided to the pilots failed to reveal important details about the location of the airshow -- pilots were given instructions for a runway the airshow was not using, and the maps of the airfield did not show trees. It is a fact of life that no human is perfect, and every one will make errors at some stage. 12:45:15 - the aircraft, now at 90 feet (27m), begins a deviation to the right (maximum bank angle: 30) to line up with the grass strip 34R. It was one of the first domestic demonstrations of the new plane, which had gone into service earlier that year. 12:43:44 - the aircraft begins its descent from 2,000 feet (610m), initially at a rate of 300 feet (91m) per minute with 'Flaps 1'. Jul 7, 2021 - This Pin was discovered by Beatrizfalitz. Yes, Cpt. [1] A training captain since 1979, Asseline was appointed to head the company's A320 training subdivision at the end of 1987. It certainly gives the impression of bias, even if there was none. Passenger cabin shots showing seat arrangements as well as cargo aircraft interior, Cargo Aircraft The plane had design flaws, the pilot made bad decisions, and there were trees that shouldn't have been in the area. Aircraft painted in beautiful and original liveries, Airport Overviews Five individuals, including the captain and first officer, were later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The aircraft fell to the ground. Captain Michel Asseline, 44, had been an airline pilot with Air France for almost 20 years and had the following endorsements: Caravelle, Boeing 707, 727, and 737, and Airbus A300 and A310.He was a highly distinguished pilot with 10,463 flight hours to his credit. That pilot should walk free. When the crew suddenly asked the plane for more power and lift, it may have simply ignored them. The combustion chambers clogged and the engines failed. After takeoff, eight minutes away, the Aerodrome came into view. This and another point i wish to make the fact that most pilots would have performed a procedure called a go around when approaching an airport that you are unfamiliar with. The crash was a great embarrassment to Air France and Airbus, a European company with deep roots in France. Respond with some you can think of! The fact is that this kind of statement does not negate the fact that he was breaking the rules. Due to the many demands of redirection and reconfiguration, the craft flew above Runway 34R at 30 feet, not the usual 100 feet which is standard for low-altitude demonstration overflight. There is even a program for pilots who make mistakes and errors to fess up. It is very disrespectful towards the family members who have lost loved ones in this crash for him not to take responsibility for the mistakes he has made. Totaly miracle. Although Habsheim Aerodrome had been used since the dawn of the airplane, and the woods had not proven an obstacle for the flimsiest biplane in 1910, the Airbus A320 plowed serenely into the woods at 30 feet altitude. Two fire trucks at the airshow set off and an ambulance followed. After takeoff, eight minutes away, the CVR was read during the night of 26 June at BEA...
