Another pilot suicide?!?!?
-
That would have required the autopilot to be on surely? and if the pilot was incapacitated quickly he may not have had time to turn it on (if he had time surely he could have also opened the door?) yesterday they were saying a cracked windscreen, to day this, tomorrow it may be something completely different, I will wait until the office cause is released

AFAIK they have the autopilot on the whole time, its just landings and takeoffs where its disabled. Apparently the code entry to the cabin can be overridden from the cabin, it had been and similar problem happened to another 320 due to iced up stall sensors; a long steady descent, that was cleared by rebooting the computer. Its all very odd, but at least we have the CVR and black box, unlike MH370...

The auto pilot is USUALLY on but it is only a button on the dash so their is nothing to atop the pilot flying the plane manually, in fact some pilots like to do that (according to a family friend who used to be a commercial pilot)

Of course, particularly if you want to crash it into a mountain....

Has their ever actually been a suicide of this nature, I know it comes up as an option every time a plane crashes but has it ever been proved? or is it just an urban myth?

So it seems pretty obvious that MH370 was pilot suicide, but now Germanwings 9525 is starting to look like one too. Investigators have reported that the CVR shows that one pilot was locked out of the cockpit and trying to "break the door down" while the pilot in the cockpit did not respond. Ok, possible pass out, heart attack, stroke, etc... but that wouldn't explain why the door was locked. Door lockout has to be engaged on purpose and is unusual. Also, the memory card from the FDR is "missing". Also unusual on a non fly by night airline. But if I've learned anything from watching Air Crash Investigation, it's that weird stuff happens up there. But door lockout should NOT be one of them.

Care to share your citations and supporting proof, for this theory/comment? If there is some, I was not aware. :confused:

Well, I do this from time to time as well, to be honest. I have been working on fixing this flaw of mine. However, to claim an important event was caused by suicide, without proof, is beyond me.

I don't know, MH370 is a good contender though, but who overrode the code entry system to the cockpit? It can only be done from inside the cockpit. Perhaps it, and the auto pilot got turned off by mistake as the pilot passed out due to toxic air coming from the engines (happens with some planes/old engines a lot)? Perhaps they should have made the passangers move to the back of the plane to regain altitude? Who knows. It might take months to find out the true cause.

Egypt Air 990 was found to be by the NTSB although the Egyptians didn't agree (well, they wouldn't, would they?), and SilkAir 185 almost certainly was, based on very strong evidence.

We don't actual know someone did, the other pilot may have forgotten the code, or the keypad may have been faulty or something that disabled the pilot may have also disable the door release (as well as turning off the autopilot) its guess work, and to blame the pilot when we don't know the facts is a bit unfair on the bloke, lets wait until the fact are known and not blame someone who may be total innocent same goes for MH370, it could have been aliens as far as the evidence can show I am not saying it was aliens (but it was)

Silkair 185 ? I thought this was a case of the rudder control going hardover (a know fault on this aircraft and one that has cause a couple of crashes) certainly the manufacture of the unit paid out to the families.

Is it being hijacked by the US Government any less bazar?

The NTSB came to the conclusion that it was "the crash was the result of deliberate flight control inputs, most likely by the captain." However, the Indonesian NTSC blamed a rudder hard over. In the court case, the judge did not permit the NTSB report to be admitted into evidence, with the obvious conclusion. Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice.

I wasn't aware that the NTSB report wasn't allowed only that the case was decided against the manufacture of the servo From the latest info from the French investigator it is being to look like suicide of the co-pilot is the most likely explanation although the senior pilot leaving the flight deck without calling the head steward to stand in is against proceedure

OK I will give you that, I should have put I think = Seems pretty obvious

I didn't say this was ruled the official cause. I said it "seems pretty obvious [to a lot of people]". ** plane was clearly manually steered ** plane was flown for 7 hours after loss of contact * catastrophic failure, etc. does not allow a plane to stay up for 7 hours * no radio contact -- yes, I'm aware that during an emergency, pilot training is to communicate LAST and solve the emergency FIRST * auto pilot was clearly manually reprogrammed * first officer cell phone tried to make a call -- having your cell phone even turned on as a pilot once you leave the gate is a big no no * So explosion, catastrophic failure, etc. are eliminated * Hypoxia event is eliminated by manual steering / auto pilot reprogramming Radar evidence also indicates the plane climbed to almost its max Evidence points to the captain depressurizing the plane to prevent interference and crashing it in the indian ocean.

Well, regardless... LOL (to our conversation I mean, not to the situation obviously)... seems like Germanwings was a suicide IS fact :(.

not yet, however the evidence is certainly pointing that way, I am not sure that you could ever be 100% sure that we will ever know what exactly happened, only what is most likely to have occurred

What do you mean? The investigators came out and stated it as fact 100% based on the CVR.
