This Channel will look to produce Air Accident/Crash Investigation videos analysing the final reports to provide fact based videos with the purpose of using these accidents to learn and develop from. I am a Pilot in the Royal Air Force flying multi engine aircraft. I will use my experience to provide context and understanding to complex Air Crash Investigations. Making these videos aids me in gaining a greater knowledge of aviation but also hopefully keeps you entertained and informed! I also publish 'Curious Pilot Explains' videos which look at specific parts of aviation and explains how and why they happen. If you have any questions or would like a deep dive into a particular incident. Please let me know! *Disclaimer* - The views and opinions expressed on this channel are those of my own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Royal Air Force or its members.

Video Description
This Air Crash Investigation looks into Gulf Air Flight 072, an Airbus A320 flying from Cairo International Airport, Egypt to Bahrain International Airport. During the approach the Captain struggles to get the aircraft into stabilised position and opts to carry out several no standard procedures such as orbits near the airfield and continuing the approach not configured correctly. Once the Captain decided to Go-around he is confronted with a flap overspeed warning and from this point his actions get far more erratic and dangerous explained only by the illusion that he needed to pitch down. This lead to the aircraft entering a nosedive and crashing into the sea only 3 miles from Bahrain International Airport. I'd love to hear what you think about this incident in the comments below.
