Ethiopian Boeing 737-8 Max crash: What is 'unstable vertical speed' | Traveller24_SA
According to a local aviation expert who asked not to be named, as the crash is at a sensitive stage with official cause of the incident yet to be determined,"unstable vertical speed means the velocity at which the aircraft was ascending was erratic. Usually an aircraft’s velocity increases at a steady rate from when it commences its take off and climbs to its cruising flight level".
The pilot was a senior Ethiopian Airlines pilot who had flown more than 8,000 hours. He had an"excellent flying record," GebreMariam said.quotes Geoffrey Thomas, the editor in chief of Airline Ratings, as saying it had"no fluctuations and all of the sudden transmission ceased. That transmission ceasing indicates catastrophic failure in air.
The crash comes as a devastating blow to the African industry that was set on improving its safety record.
