Our reader says, "Why you being an aircraft of both automation and intelligence go so many mistakes? Is that the pilots should be given more training on simulators? "At this moment I am doing the course and see that A320 has so many protections, and more, help you avoid mistakes."
The truth, the first thing is that in our opinion The A320 is not having "so many accidents." According to Airbus, 30 April, the latest data available at the end of this number, 1,898 were delivered A320, of which 1865 were in service. The 33 aircraft that are missing are 17 that have been destroyed and 16 are removed from service or have been scrapped. Among the 17 destroyed, including three aircraft that were burned during a fire in a hangar at Brussels (Belgium) on May 5, 2006, and another fire while being refueled.
Because so many accidents occur A320 aircraft
Given that the first A320 destroyed what was the June 26, 1988, talk of 1 accident (9 of them dead) in 20 years, or 21 accidents (with the same 14 to victims) if we include the other members of his family. By comparison, the MD-80 has had 20 accidents (11 with dead and four on the ground as fire or hitting parked car while) since 1988 and the B-737, in the same period, 83 (four in land by different causes non-operating) with 22 of them with fatalities.
When it comes to accidents, we refer to aircraft destroyed or not repaired following an accident. Explain the peculiarities of each accident would far exceed the available space.
Many drivers with whom we have spoken indicate that the A320 we demand more than other aircraft to fly, but also that the protections you have the plane to help your control. In addition, although it seems complicated, lateral control column and how it moves this, he was promptly "catches the trick" and movements are comfortable and easy.
