Southwest Airlinesā Boeing 737 Dutch Roll
On May 25, 2024, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 experienced a Dutch Roll but managed to recover. The incident resulted in damage to the Rudder Power Control Unit, according to the Federal Aviation Authority of the USA. Reflecting on my time as Head of Flight Operations at Air Asia India in 2013, I recall advocating for mandatory Upset Recovery Training (UPRT) for all pilots within the Air Asia group. Despite its potential for enhancing safety, the proposal was seen as an additional cost and was not implemented. The release of the final accident report for Air Asia flight QZ-8501, which tragically crashed in December 2014 en route from Indonesia to Singapore, killing all 162 on board, resonates with my earlier safety concerns. The report details high altitude upset as a probable causeāechoing my previously dismissed warnings. Through mindFly, I aim to provide insights not fully explored in the official report. Iāll draw parallels between this accident and similar historical events, such as the 1959 Boeing 707 crash during a Dutch Roll demonstration that resulted in a fatal loss of control. The final accident report of the Air Asia flight QZ-8501 which crashed on its flight from Indonesia to Singapore in Dec 2014, killing all 162 occupants, has been released. It is an exhaustive report and a lot of effort may have been put in to explain the circumstances in detail.

Why did the accident investigators not answer the obvious question, poor braking?
Poor braking action by the aircraft during the 1st stage of deceleration proved very costly. Was it due to the runway surface which holds water and...
