“intent to deceive” is HUGE assumption unless you know a h3ll of a lot more details than what is available in public.

First off… does the 777 have a G-meter? Did they even know they over-stressed it?

Do any of us know that they didn’t call MX and get a recommendation to continue?

I haven’t seen any details, but did they overspeed by 10kts, or 100kts?

Lets not assign pretty sinister motives with only the bare bone details.

what’s your agenda here?
Sir,

This crew almost killed a couple of hundred people. I don't know about you, but every single person I have discussed this with said that they would have diverted/ air turn back. 4.5 hours is a long time to fly after almost killing yourself and everyone else onboard. As far as the G issue. It is definitely not the driving factor here. A dive of better than 8000 fpm would shake anyone up. It would be dam near impossible to keep your attention to the task at hand after experiencing a near death experience.

I don't have an agenda here sir. I am merely adding my .02 to the conversation. This was a monumental screw up and hopefully we can all learn from it. Hopefully it won't be swept under the rug by UAL.

so how about you take a breath step back and let the details come out.

so far you have done nothing but level unfounded accusations. You want to learn from this and that’s great but you will never learn a damn thing if you don’t keep an open mind. The hardest pilots I have ever trained are those that already have an opinion.

Now he’s a conspiracy theorist. Perfect way to add credibility to his assumptions….👍🏻

Honest question, how would one know that they exceeded a G limit in a 777? Is there a G meter?

This crew handled this perfectly and no need for any criticism. Have a good day.

I’m glad that no one who actually works here calls it the “schoolhouse”….

no there is not. The crew wouldn’t know but the aircraft computers would report it to both safety (FOQA) and maintenance.

neither one of those divisions would necessarily reach out to the crew to notify them.

Thanks, not that 2.7 G wouldn’t be felt, but I could totally see that a crew wouldn’t write up that specific event if they have no way of knowing they did.

Scoff! I would hardly call “BANK ANGLE” an indication of vertigo. I’ve exceeded 35° a few times, because I was looking outside.
I doubt it was a “nose dive” too. Not enough altitude to make that happen. This incident sounds very similar to the 767 one in LHR.
