Thanks, I'm not familiar with airline SOP's.

Sources told The Buffalo News that Renslow had been working an overnight shift only weeks before switching to the evening schedule that he was on the night the plane crashed.
Every aircraft that I have ever flown, the control column/yoke moves forward/back, and side to side. Not up/down, so where do they get this info from?After Flight 3407's stall warning system activated, Renslow pulled down on the plane's yoke — which is just the opposite of what he should have done, several aviation sources have said.
Thats part of any Aviation Authority check-ride, no matter what country you're in. If he passed a proficiency check, he would have shown competence in his reactions.In addition, Colgan's training program does not include simulator training into how pilots should react when the stall warning system activates, sources said.
Your a pilotTheir sources are idiots...

As to what he should have done, that depends on whether the main wing or tailplane was stalled (if it was icing as it seems to be suspected). Push forward if the wing is stalled, pull back if the tailplane is stalled.

If it wasn't in their procedures for compentency checks, thenteh FAA needs to shoulder soem of the responsibility, as from my understanding, they have to approve all procedures manuals.
Stupid, over-hyped, sensationalist bullsh!t mainstream media....
seems pretty clear if the story is true and I've heard from people familiar with event it wasn't the aircraft so that doesn't leave alot of other choicesThanks! Glad to see I'm not the only one left scratching my noggin over this one. Seemed to be alot of grasping at straws and shooting scapegoats, if you ask me.
WTF??Your a pilot I stand in awe.
here is a version that may meet with your approval
read all the posts rather then the last and you might learn a bit rather then jump to conclusions. I have been following this thing because of its proximity , at the beginning if you had read all the posts. I suggested that because of the weather it might be icing.WTF??
Oh well.
I guess everyone has ruled out the possibility that the TAILPLANE had ice accumulation and stalled? If the stick-pusher checked forward(nose pitch down) and stalled the tailplane(Nose pitch up), there wasn't much he could do about it.
well here you go ,todays released stuff from the NTSBSorry, PB, but one thing that really annoys me is the way that the mainstream media very rarely tries to get any correct terminology/research intheir reporting of aviation accidents/incidents. I have been involved in a number of incidents where the media latched on to one minor aspect, and attributed it as a "cause".
Now, as for pilots walking on water, well, I have spent more time working in the maintenance/engineering aspect of aviation than flying, so there's no risk of me thinking that. But, equally, I don't like it when the pilot is damned before the report comes out.
