NeoEngress Simulations LLC produces visual representations of real-life aircraft related vehicles or features. Parts are pre-assembled into smaller modules, which can be joined together with regular fasteners out of the box. Livery customization is supported, please specify what logos and callsign you'd prefer to put on the frame. The frame is available with the same hardened navy gray finish found on our engineering prototype, which is achieved with a baked powder coating. Parts are joined into sub assemblies with aviation flush rivets before steel nuts are attached for DIY assembly. Steel is used in places where additional strength is required. Precisely cut and CNC bent or stamped into shape. Most parts are built from strong aviation grade aluminum sheets. Please specify which models of flight control hardware are used while placing your order. Compatibility with existing commercial throttle, stick and rudder controls is taken into consideration. It's the same frame used in our fully assembled cockpits. “The co-pilot pulled the plane up, and by the time the captain regained the controls it was too late,” one of the people familiar with the investigation said.This kit is offered for customers who wish to build on top of existing cockpit structures. The captain eventually resumed control, but a person familiar with the matter said he was not in a position to intervene immediately to recover the aircraft from its upset.ĭata already published on the plane’s trajectory suggest it may have been difficult for someone to move around the cockpit in an upward-tilting and by then possibly unstable aircraft, but there is so far no confirmation of the cockpit movements. “It appears he was surprised or startled by this,” said a person familiar with the investigation, referring to the decision to cut power to the affected computer. Shortly afterwards the junior pilot pulled the plane into a sharp climb from which investigators have said it stalled or lost lift. The circuit breakers are on a wall panel immediately behind the co-pilot and hard or impossible to reach from the seated position on the left side, where the captain sits, according to two experienced pilots and published diagrams of the cockpit. It is also significant because to pull the circuit breaker the captain had to rise from his seat.
I don’t know if there was one in this case, but it is very unusual.” “You don’t pull the circuit breaker unless it was an absolute emergency.
“You can reset the FAC, but to cut all power to it is very unusual,” said one A320 pilot, who declined to be identified. The decision to cut off the FAC has surprised people following the investigation because the usual procedure for resetting it is to press a button on the overhead panel. The outage would not directly upset the aircraft but would remove flight envelope protection, which prevents a pilot from taking a plane beyond its safety limits, leaving the junior pilot to fly the jet manually in delicate high altitude conditions. People familiar with the matter told Reuters it was the Indonesian captain Iriyanto who took this step, rather than his less experienced French co-pilot Remy Plesel, who was flying the plane. Reuters reported this week that maintenance problems on the Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC), and the way the pilots reacted to them, were at the heart of the investigation.Īfter trying to reset this device, pilots pulled a circuit-breaker to cut its power, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. It had been suffering maintenance faults with a key flight control computer for over a week, and one person familiar with the matter said the captain had flown on the same plane with the intermittently faulty device just days before the crash.ĪirAsia said it would not comment while the matter was under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) of Indonesia.
The Airbus A320 jet plunged into the Java Sea while en route from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore on Dec. SINGAPORE/JAKARTA/PARIS, Jan 31 (Reuters) - The captain of the AirAsia jet that crashed into the sea in December was out of his seat conducting an unorthodox procedure when his co-pilot apparently lost control, and by the time he returned it was too late to save the plane, two people familiar with the investigation said.ĭetails emerging of the final moments of Flight QZ8501 are likely to focus attention partly on maintenance, procedures and training, though Indonesian officials have stressed publicly that it is too early to draw any firm conclusions.
