The Air Canada's cockpit voice recorder was overwritten, the NTSB said.

I though the voice recorder was supposed to record for two hours before overlaying the previous recording?

Was Harrison Ford at the controls?

How about painting the end/beginning of runways RED or GREEN so this mistake can’t happen.

A couple gallons (maybe more) of paint could potentially save hundreds lives.

This has almost happened several times recently.

“The crew commanded full power from the engines.”


I love it when non-aviation writers try to sound cool.

Nice article, Maverick.

Excellent POV animation here...

As a non-pilot I can certainly see how such a mistake could be made if one were only to rely on ones eyeballs.

Runway 28R has both and ILS and PAPIs. You would think that the Air Canada pilot would at least glance at ILS for runway centerline guidance plus look at the PAPIs for visual descent guidance.
