to within 775 feet of the Pacific Ocean – a probe that will center on the pilots and the aircraft’s wing flaps.with sources telling The Air Current
Timing of the flap retraction determines how much lift the wings generate during the critical early phase of flight. The crew regained control when the plane was just 775 feet from the water – and everyone on board was subjected to forces nearly 2.7 times the force of gravity at it climbed sharply to 33,000 feet.A pilot called air-traffic control when the plane was at 1,400 feet, on its way to an initial altitude of 5,000 feet, according to LiceATC.net recordings cited by the outlet.
When the plane reached about 3,000 feet, the controller cleared the flight to a waypoint out in the Pacific. The pilot reportedly gave a standard acknowledgment: “United 1722 heavy, proceed direct EBBER.”United and the Federal Aviation Administration have said the crew filed the appropriate internal safety reports after landing safely in San Francisco.
He announced that he was launching a formal safety review team to “examine the U.S. aerospace system’s structure, culture, processes, systems, and integration of safety efforts,” according to the outlet.
