We live in an acrimonious world. It is impossible to know how to pronounce and know what all the acronyms mean that people throw at you. Do the best you can and hope you’re right. Make sure you always fly the airplane though.
You can’t make anything completely child proof.
Hopefully not, but one of these days some inept Pilot from the 3rd world will wind an Airbus into the ground. Then Airbus will get the same treatment as Boeing.
They screwed up. Bad landing, too fast. A fast Airplane and short runway. It wouldn’t hurt to land a little before touchdown zone too. Something like this you have to do everything right.
You abort on short final not after bouncing on departure end. The flight might not have computed right to begin with. Then you have to really do everything perfect.
Capt Sully did the only thing you can do after loosing all power. You sure couldn’t land on some street in NJ. Most Pilots would have done the same. It was nothing heroic or in need of an immense abundance of skill..
Afterwards he has been anointed as a consultant on everything important. He sure doesn’t have the wisdom to advice the FAA OR Boeing on how to do their jobs. He just proved that with his mundane critique.
You have to know how to drive and taxi on ice. The main thing is to take it easy. The hard part landing was over with.This Pilot got shot after the war was over. He got complacent. The Midway accident was entirely different. 6500’ vs. 9000’. Also that was busy Chicago not out in the country like Omaha.
