If it’s pilot error I’d imagine they won’t be flying for awhile and be transferred elsewhere assuming it’s not due to gross negligence, if something broke I’d imagine they’d be “in the clear” and continue flying.Even very good pilots make mistakes, luckily everyone OK.
Will this end their Navy career or be forced to take a desk job ?
What exactly is an "Unstable approach"? Is it one particular parameter or one of or a combination of many?I have done several go arounds ( I have never continued unstable approach or landing ).
Stable is roughly defined as:What exactly is an "Unstable approach"? Is it one particular parameter or one of or a combination of many?
Gotcha, thank you.Stable is roughly defined as:
1. fully configured
2. within +10/-5 knots of target airspeed
3. on lateral course/runway aligned (within one dot localizer)
4. on vertical path +/- one dot on glideslope
5. normal descent rate (within +/- 300 feet/minute of rate to maintain vertical path -not to exceed 1,200 feet/minute)
6. engines spooled up to approach idle or better.
It is listed in the documents I linked. Any one parameter exceedence = unstable.
The goal is to be stable by 1,000, you must be stable by 500 or a go around should be performed.
I’m quite certain that rumor mongering is not relevant. The “All Female Crew“ rumor is unsupported.Isnt this a P-8A Poseidon?
Rare and extremely expensive?
Also not sure how relevant this is, but the month prior the Navy was celebrating this crew for being all-female in its blog posts.

Yes, a different squadron flew a mission with an all female crew the month prior.
A different squadron.
So, there is no evidence of any kind, yet, to support that this crew was either male, or female, exclusively.
By the way, here is how well an all-male USAF crew did when taking off in an AWACS. A much more expensive airplane. Nothing wrong with the jet, the pilot in command aborted a take off above V1, couldn’t stop, and wrecked the airplane. 100% pilot error.

Bad decisions in the cockpit don’t belong to just one gender.
Ouch. Have you ever been in a situation where you were forced to continue takeoff while experiencing some sort of systems failure? Having to continue after having some sort of engine fire/failure must be really unpleasant.I’m quite certain that rumor mongering is not relevant. The “All Female Crew“ rumor is unsupported.

I’ve not had to reject, or continue, a takeoff as a result of a major malfunction, in actual operations.Ouch.
