8 stycznia 2003 roku rozbil sie zaraz po starcie 19-miejscowy samolot Beech
1900D (taki mialy podobniez latac linie Silesian Air). Samolot rozstrzaskal
sie o hangar i ziemie wszyscy 19 pax i 2 zalogi zginelo na miejscu.
Wczoraj NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) podalo do wiadomisci
zapis rozmow z kabiny pilotow, z ktorego wynika ze piloci rozmawiali na temat
obcizenia samolotu:
Przed startem pracownik rampy pyta sie Kapitana, "Jaki duzo mamy wyladowac?"
Kapt. Katie Leslie odpowiada: "Wlasnie to rozwiazujemy. Myslimy ze nie
musicie wyladowywac nic."
Pierwszy oficer mowi "On pewno patrzy na nasz uginajacy sie ogon, ktory
niemmalo zawadza o ziemie z tymy walizkami" poczym slyszu sie smiech.
Potym jak samolot oderweal sie od ziemi, wzbijal sie z zaduza zastromo i
zaloga nie byla wstanie wyrowniac go. Samolot pochylis sie i spadl...
Zapis ukazuje momenty wzrastajacej paniki jak piloci z oporem starali sie
kontrolowac samolot:
Po oderwaniu sie od ziemie, Leslie (kapitan) glosno mowi: "Pchnij nos w
dol ... o moj Boze" poczym wyslal wolanie o pomoc "We have an emergency for
Air Midwest 5481."
Zapis z tasmy zarejestrowal glos malego dziecka: "tato!"
Kapitan ponownie " Pociagnij moc z powrotem" secundy potem "O moj Boze, oooo"
Glos Pilota: "Uh, uh, Boze, ah. (przeklenstwo)"
Po 2 secundach zapis sie przerywa.

Pilots pondered weight of doomed plane
From Patty Davis
CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) --The cockpit voice recording from the crash of Air Midwest
Flight 5481 in Charlotte, North Carolina, reveals that the crew discussed the
plane's weight before taking off.
All 19 passengers and two crew members were killed just 37 seconds after
takeoff from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport January 8.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which Tuesday began the first of
two planned days of public hearings, believes the aircraft was within 100
pounds of its 17,000 pound maximum weight.
The weather was clear at the time of the crash, and the NTSB is trying to
determine if cables controlling the up and down motion of the plane
contributed to the fatal accident or if weight and balance on the aircraft
played a role.
The hearing is a fact-finding exercise, and the NTSB said it does not expect
to rule on the cause of the crash before the end of the year.
Information released at the hearing from the flight data recorder revealed a
conversation between the pilots of the twin-engine, turboprop Beech 1900D in
which they calculated weight and tried to determine where to place baggage.
A ramp worker asks, "How many we gotta take off?"
Capt. Katie Leslie responds: "We're figuring it out. We don't think we have
to take anything off."
The plane's first officer said: "He's probably lookin' at our... tail.
Like 'bout ready to hit the ground right now, with all the bags back there,"
after which laughter is heard.
'We have an emergency'
As the plane took off, it climbed much more steeply than normal and the crew
was unable to level it off. The plane banked and crashed, clipping a
maintenance hangar on the way down and erupting in a ball of fire.
Investigators told CNN the plane virtually disintegrated.
The recording shows moments of growing panic as the pilots struggle to
control the plane.
As the plane takes off, Leslie says in a loud voice: "Push the nose down ...
Oh, my God." She then radioed in: "We have an emergency for Air Midwest 5481."
The cockpit voice recorder captured the voice of a young child
yelling, "Daddy!"
Then the captain again: "Pull the power back." Seconds later, "Oh my God, ah!"
The co-pilot: "Uh, uh, God, ah. (expletive.)"
The recording ends two seconds later.
Federal crash investigators are looking into maintenance done on the plane's
elevators two days before the crash. The elevators control the airplane's
pitch, or up-and-down movement. The NTSB said in January that the tension in
the "up" and "down" elevator cables was off by nearly 2 inches.
Safety experts said the problem with the elevators
