Cockpit Voice Transcript of Continental Airlines Flight 3407 Plane Crash

From Wikipedia -
Colgan Air Flight 3407 (9L/CJC 3407) was marketed as Continental Connection Flight 3407. It was delayed two hours, departing at 9:18 pm Eastern Standard Time (02:18 UTC), en route from Newark Liberty International Airport to Buffalo Niagara International Airport.[3]

The twin-engine turboprop Bombardier Q400, FAA registry N200WQ, was manufactured in 2008 for delivery to Colgan.[3]: 15–21 [7] It was delivered to Colgan on April 16, 2008.[8]

This was the first fatal accident for a Colgan Air passenger flight since the company was founded in 1991. One previous repositioning flight, with no passengers, crashed offshore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in August 2003, killing both of the crew on board. The only prior accident involving a Colgan Air passenger flight occurred at LaGuardia Airport, when another plane collided with the Colgan aircraft while taxiing, resulting in minor injuries to a flight attendant.[9]

Captain Marvin Renslow, 47, of Lutz, Florida, was the pilot in command, and Rebecca Lynne Shaw, 24, of Maple Valley, Washington, served as the first officer.[10][11][12] The cabin crew consisted of two flight attendants. Captain Renslow was hired in September 2005 and had accumulated 3,379 total flight hours, with 111 hours as captain on the Q400.[3]: 6–11  First Officer Shaw was hired in January 2008, and had 2,244 hours, 774 of them in turbine aircraft, including the Q400.[3]: 11–14 [13]

Two Canadian passengers, one Chinese passenger, and one Israeli passenger were on board. The remaining 41 passengers, as well as the crew members, were American.[14]

they thought it may have been ice, but later found out that had nothing to do with it.

when the de-ice switch is on, it increases the stall speed warning.
so basically, the flight management computer will trigger the stall warning speed when the plane is going several knots faster than its actual minimum airspeed.

they were on approach getting low and slow with the flaps out.
they heard the alarm, freaked out, and put it into a stall they couldn't recover from by trying to climb as fast as possible.
if i remember right, the co pilot even put the flaps up too.

alot of things changed after this crash.
people angrily wondered why the co pilot was overworked, paid so little, and had to commute from her parents house by plane to get to the hub.
the captain had also failed some checkrides i think.

Re: Cockpit Voice Transcript of Continental Airlines Flight 3407 Plane Crash

It was pretty cringe in the transcript how the captain kept continuing the side conversation with the copilot while trying to land the plane. Perhaps he was getting a bit too flirty with the young 24 year old female copilot. That's why it's against aviation protocol to engage in small talk while performing a landing procedure
