Having said that, for anyone even mildly interested in flying this is a fantastic Youtube channel.
yeah, no. While this stuff is fascinating, I learned that some years ago watching this type of breakdown over that AirFrance? flight from like, Sao Paolo to Paris or something, which explained that early fault with the A380, I think, where the pilot and copilot yolks would auto-lock or something, for safety--meaning if an error was being input by one pilot, the yolk locked in the other pilot to the same maneuver even if they were trying to correct it--e.g, attempting to pull the nose down while the plane was going into stall, and the yolk moving with you, but the output was still locked into the other pilot, so it was actually continuing to stall upwards or whatever despite what you thought you were doing.
Idunno, it freaked me out how a specific design choice like that for the theory of safety led to some specifically obviou error (the sensors had iced over, so the head pilot couldn't get an accurate altitude reading and a lot was failing; but I know he was making the correct action to correct the problem, but everything failed at the right time. So he always thought he was correcting the stall into it was well past stall and plummeted into the Atlantic.
That still gives me trouble when flying.
