Martyn Coupland @m12d.com · Jun 12 Like all pilots today, thoughts are with the passengers, crew and families of Air India 171 which has crashed. Hard as a fellow pilot to know what was going through the minds of the flight deck crew. So many probably causes so let the authorities do their work

Some initial observations - 1. It looks like the flaps are at 0but hard to be certain. 2. The video shows poor climb performance, could be back heavy, due to shifting cargo or other reasons. 3. The crew did declare a mayday, so they were aware of the situation in front of them.
