It looks like the N722BD crew had problems before

I saw some criticism of the copilot that said in an emergency you're not supposed to chat with ATC and give them a play by play of what's going on. It seemed like she was reaching out to them for answers on how to fly the plane.
Best practice is for the copilot to assist the pilot on problem solving and go through the mental checklist, and to try and remind each other of the procedures and figure out what's going wrong, i.e. try and solve your own problems to the best of your abilities.
That being said it circles back to the captain who seems to have made some very poor choices, including his selection of co-pilot. But he's definitely way more to blame. He got them into the mess and couldn't get them out. And it looks like they may have had more than one incident where something major went wrong. Surprising that this guy made it to 55 as a private pilot while making a lot of mistakes. |
