About this video
A perfectly flyable aircraft, stalled for three and a half minutes into the Atlantic. It started with ice in three small tubes. In this video: • Pitot icing and the moment the speeds disagreed • The autopilot handoff nobody was ready for • Why the stall warning made things worse • What AF447 changed about training forever #aviation #airfrance447 #aircrash #engineering
