False Cues Prompt 'Stall Recoveries'

摘要

Inbound from Newark, New Jersey, U.S., with 131 passengers and eight crewmembers the morning of Oct. 20,2013, the flight crew saw only light precipitation on their weather radar as they neared their destination in Dublin, Ireland. Investigators later determined, however, that the on-board weather radar likely was not adjusted correctly and did not display an area of heavy precipitation that the 757 would encounter during the descent to Dublin.
