The pilots of a doomed Lion Air Boeing 737 Max scoured a handbook as they struggled to understand why the jet was lurching downwards, but ran out of time before it hit the water, three people with knowledge of the cockpit voice recorder contents said.
The captain was at the controls of Lion Air flight JT610 when the nearly new jet took off from Jakarta, and the first officer was handling the radio, according to a preliminary report issued in November. For the next nine minutes, the jet warned pilots it was in a stall and pushed the nose down in response, the report showed. A stall is when the airflow over a plane's wings is too weak to generate lift and keep it flying.
The pilots of JT610 remained calm for most of the flight, the three sources said. Near the end, the captain asked the first officer to fly while he checked the manual for a solution. "It is like a test where there are 100 questions and when the time is up you have only answered 75," the third source said."So you panic. It is a time-out condition."
Doomed flight because the pilots were inadequately trained in this sophisticated aircraft. Sorry to sound callous but it is the truth.
I almost wish I didn't know this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
