Crashed Flights Not Recording

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Personally I think that pilots who crash their aircraft won't have done it deliberately but more likely through a simple error (just as human error is sadly responsible for most air crashes in real life...)

So my vote would be for more training and tutorials that would help our colleagues improve their skills. It's very easy in FS to let the autopilot do most of the work and as soon as something goes wrong, an inexperienced pilot can't work out how to recover before the plane crashes.

Over the years I've downloaded lots of adventures, missions and flightplans from various sources to help me improve my skills and I'd certainly recommend to other pilots the "Doherty's Difficult & Dangerous Approaches" series available on avsim and elsewhere - there are 71 volumes with 10 approaches to airports/airstrips all round the world in each.

By flying only a handful of these challenging scenarios any pilot could increase their skill and confidence at hand-flying their aircraft in varied weather conditions. And this would give them the chance of correcting a problem much quicker if something goes wrong... And that means less crashed EHM airliners !!!  ;D

EHM-1532 Søren:
Well sometimes it's not even the pilots fault. I made a flight last night from LEPA to LSZH, made a near perfect landing, and when I was about to turn of the active I had a collision crash. I don't know how it happened, I saw no airplanes on the rwy at all. But I have to admit that crashing a plane deserves some kind of penalty. maybe a crash investigation of some sort. Maybe MT could appoint a crash investigator to be used only for PP flights.

EHM-0001 Gergely:
It is really unfortunate to see so many crashed planes (16 in 5 days), the Management is currently discussing how to deal with crashes and what measures to take.

EHM-1627 Chris:
i think that it is funny that i posted this, and the next flight i did i crashed the plane...but was relieved that there is no penalty...although i wouldn't have complained!!!

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
16 out of a total of 86 flights (including those that crashed) makes that an 18% crash rate. not as bad as i thought but could certainly be improved upon.

P.S. i'm flying the LSZH 747-400 to india now.......hopefully i wont crash on the return trip, the fog back at zurich is really bad!:o
