He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

That's because the airport typically uses a pair of parallel runways to land planes. In clear weather, planes are allowed to land two at a time, virtually side by side; when visibility is impaired by low clouds or heavy rain, arriving flights can land just one at a time. That cuts the airport's capacity by half, and in really unfriendly weather, even more than that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in capacity, in turn, prompts the Federal Aviation Administration to impose what it calls a \u003ca href=\"http://www.fly.faa.gov/Products/AIS_ORIGINAL/shortmessage.html\" target=\"_blank\">ground-delay program\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of allowing flights to just take off when there's bad weather at the destination, the FAA holds them at the departure airports. Then, the air-traffic control system performs what amounts to a massive rearrangement of flight schedules. Planes are assigned specific departure times and allowed to take off only as fast as the bad-weather airport can receive them. It's a form of metering that tries to prevent arriving jets from getting stacked up at their destinations and having to circle waiting for the chance to land. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of all this plane-juggling on SFO this week has been dramatic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday and Wednesday, flights destined for SFO were delayed four hours or more.

Holding up flights for hours on end is smart management from an air-traffic-safety perspective, but it plays havoc with airline schedules, which typically rely on using arriving planes for trips to new destinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, your flight to Los Angeles or Seattle might depend on a plane coming from O'Hare in Chicago. If that flight from O'Hare can't take off -- well, the best you can hope for is a long delay. And often, your best hope will be in vain: Your flight on that long-delayed jet will just be canceled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday morning, 19 flights were reported canceled -- 12 arrivals and seven departures.

The goal of department supervisors, she said, was \"to protect the firefighter who was actually responsible for the death of Ye Meng Yuan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three teenage girls who died after Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed while attempting to land at SFO last July 6. She was injured in the crash and was lying close to the plane when firefighters arrived to fight a fire that had erupted in the damaged aircraft. In a story earlier this month, Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/123178/fire-rig-driver-alerted-to-SFO-Asiana-crash-victim\" target=\"_blank\">reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken recounted\u003c/a> video evidence that shows how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/SFO-crash-survivor-was-run-over-by-two-fire-rigs-5055771.php\" target=\"_blank\">two San Francisco Fire Department vehicles ran over Ye\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first vehicle was reportedly driven by a firefighter named Jimmy Yee. Duckett was driving the second vehicle. The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/19/104116/-asiana-victim-run-over-by-emergency-vehicle\" target=\"_blank\">San Mateo County coroner later reported\u003c/a> that Ye, 16, died of multiple blunt force injuries consistent with being run over by a vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Matier & Ross account Duckett's claim says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... When Duckett showed up for a meeting with Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White and other brass on July 22, the claim says, she was told \"that she needed to admit to the incident and take responsibility\" for the girl's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duckett told her bosses that \"there was a video showing that Rescue 10 (reportedly driven by Yee) was the vehicle that had hit and killed\" the girl. \"Notwithstanding, they continued to insist that Elyse Duckett was responsible for her death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, according to her attorney, Eduardo Roy, Duckett received repeated phone calls from KGO TV reporter Dan Noyes wanting to talk to her about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said Duckett \"believes that her identity, contact information and involvement were disclosed to Dan Noyes by one or more individuals\" in the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days later, the station ran a story \"falsely identifying\" Duckett as the driver responsible for killing Ye, according to the claim. Her name promptly was picked up by other media around the world, the claim says.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Such claims often lead to lawsuits.

The goal of department supervisors, she said, was \"to protect the firefighter who was actually responsible for the death of Ye Meng Yuan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three teenage girls who died after Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed while attempting to land at SFO last July 6. She was injured in the crash and was lying close to the plane when firefighters arrived to fight a fire that had erupted in the damaged aircraft. In a story earlier this month, Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/123178/fire-rig-driver-alerted-to-SFO-Asiana-crash-victim\" target=\"_blank\">reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken recounted\u003c/a> video evidence that shows how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/SFO-crash-survivor-was-run-over-by-two-fire-rigs-5055771.php\" target=\"_blank\">two San Francisco Fire Department vehicles ran over Ye\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first vehicle was reportedly driven by a firefighter named Jimmy Yee. Duckett was driving the second vehicle. The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/19/104116/-asiana-victim-run-over-by-emergency-vehicle\" target=\"_blank\">San Mateo County coroner later reported\u003c/a> that Ye, 16, died of multiple blunt force injuries consistent with being run over by a vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Matier & Ross account Duckett's claim says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... When Duckett showed up for a meeting with Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White and other brass on July 22, the claim says, she was told \"that she needed to admit to the incident and take responsibility\" for the girl's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duckett told her bosses that \"there was a video showing that Rescue 10 (reportedly driven by Yee) was the vehicle that had hit and killed\" the girl. \"Notwithstanding, they continued to insist that Elyse Duckett was responsible for her death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, according to her attorney, Eduardo Roy, Duckett received repeated phone calls from KGO TV reporter Dan Noyes wanting to talk to her about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said Duckett \"believes that her identity, contact information and involvement were disclosed to Dan Noyes by one or more individuals\" in the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days later, the station ran a story \"falsely identifying\" Duckett as the driver responsible for killing Ye, according to the claim. Her name promptly was picked up by other media around the world, the claim says.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Such claims often lead to lawsuits. Duckett is seeking $300,000 in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It shows that another firefighter pointed out Ye to the driver of the vehicle less than 15 minutes before he ran over her. And the same rig sprayed much of the fire-retardant foam that covered and hid Ye, who was still alive, from other drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The rig video shows him headed straight for her. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>— Jaxon Van Derbeken\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken reported the video shows emergency personnel looking at the girl — whom they later reported they thought was dead — but at no point does the video show them directly checking her for signs of life. They also did not mark her with a casualty flag, as is common at disaster scenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle says a source provided the video on condition that it not be shared publicly because it is so graphic. Van Derbeken talked Friday with KQED's Mina Kim about the video and the new perspective it gives on the Asiana tragedy: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/128922385&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his story, Van Derbeken \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fire-rig-alerted-to-Asiana-victim-before-running-5130278.php\" target=\"_blank\">described the sequence of events\u003c/a> it shows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The rig called Rescue 10, driven by San Francisco firefighter Jimmy Yee, approaches the smoking plane within minutes after the 11:27 a.m. crash.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Another firefighter waves his arms to direct Yee around the girl, who is lying alone on an open field of grass. Other passengers have already evacuated the area.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rescue 10 drives around Ye and sprays foam on the plane wing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yee circles the rig around to its original spot and starts spraying foam in the area in front of the wing (arguably to protect a fuel leak, Van Derbeken said), partially covering the girl with foam. By now there are no firefighters near her. An autopsy would later reveal that she is still alive during this time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then, at 11:50 a.m., Van Derbeken said, \"The rig video shows him headed straight for her. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch, because there's a partly covered human who is doomed, arguably, by this rig coming straight for it.\" Rescue 10 runs over Ye.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Video from a separate, helmet-mounted camera shows that Ye is completely obscured by foam 11 minutes later, when a different rig runs over her. Van Derbeken said it's unclear whether she is still alive before this second hit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Fire Department has not responded directly to the video but has called Ye's death a \"tragic accident.\" Van Derbeken's story included this account from firefighter Roger Phillips, the one who initially motioned Rescue 10 around Ye:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Phillips later told investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board that the girl was in the fetal position, her eyes rolled up, her face waxen and wearing a grimace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ye's parents filed a claim against the city of San Francisco earlier this week, saying rescuers were reckless and poorly trained. The city has 45 days to respond, and if it denies the claim, Ye's parents may sue. A key fight in any legal case is likely to be about whether the legal protections that normally cover firefighters working in the line of duty should apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken said the video evidence raises questions about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Its importance lies as much in what it doesn't show as what it does. It doesn't show a chaotic situation. It doesn't show many, many people scurrying about or victims being triaged on the ground. It shows one victim being identified as such and this rig directed around it. ... The idea that this is a highly dynamic and complex situation -- it's one truck, one plane, one victim that's out there in plain view, initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three Chinese teens who died in the July 6 crash. The 304 other passengers on Flight 214 from Seoul survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It shows that another firefighter pointed out Ye to the driver of the vehicle less than 15 minutes before he ran over her. And the same rig sprayed much of the fire-retardant foam that covered and hid Ye, who was still alive, from other drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The rig video shows him headed straight for her.

They also did not mark her with a casualty flag, as is common at disaster scenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle says a source provided the video on condition that it not be shared publicly because it is so graphic. Van Derbeken talked Friday with KQED's Mina Kim about the video and the new perspective it gives on the Asiana tragedy: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Other passengers have already evacuated the area.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rescue 10 drives around Ye and sprays foam on the plane wing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yee circles the rig around to its original spot and starts spraying foam in the area in front of the wing (arguably to protect a fuel leak, Van Derbeken said), partially covering the girl with foam. By now there are no firefighters near her. An autopsy would later reveal that she is still alive during this time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then, at 11:50 a.m., Van Derbeken said, \"The rig video shows him headed straight for her. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch, because there's a partly covered human who is doomed, arguably, by this rig coming straight for it.\" Rescue 10 runs over Ye.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Video from a separate, helmet-mounted camera shows that Ye is completely obscured by foam 11 minutes later, when a different rig runs over her. Van Derbeken said it's unclear whether she is still alive before this second hit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Fire Department has not responded directly to the video but has called Ye's death a \"tragic accident.\" Van Derbeken's story included this account from firefighter Roger Phillips, the one who initially motioned Rescue 10 around Ye:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Phillips later told investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board that the girl was in the fetal position, her eyes rolled up, her face waxen and wearing a grimace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ye's parents filed a claim against the city of San Francisco earlier this week, saying rescuers were reckless and poorly trained. The city has 45 days to respond, and if it denies the claim, Ye's parents may sue. A key fight in any legal case is likely to be about whether the legal protections that normally cover firefighters working in the line of duty should apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken said the video evidence raises questions about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Its importance lies as much in what it doesn't show as what it does. It doesn't show a chaotic situation. It doesn't show many, many people scurrying about or victims being triaged on the ground. It shows one victim being identified as such and this rig directed around it. ... The idea that this is a highly dynamic and complex situation -- it's one truck, one plane, one victim that's out there in plain view, initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three Chinese teens who died in the July 6 crash. The 304 other passengers on Flight 214 from Seoul survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here's the link to live video streaming page for the hearing: \u003ca href=\"http://ntsb.capitolconnection.org/#\" target=\"_blank\">Investigative Hearing: Crash of Asiana Flight 214\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day began with a brief review of the SFO incident on July 6, 2013, and the rest of the day has been devoted mostly to a painstaking examination of the design and performance of the autopilot technology used on Boeing 777s like the one involved in the crash. Those systems are of concern because Flight 214's speed had fallen far below the speed the crew reportedly believed it had set for the approach — to 103 knots from the commanded 137 knots. The crew didn't detect the loss of speed until the crash was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8c745e1abf83a0e66885ecae4dac3e07\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among a large number of documents released in connection with today's hearing is \u003ca href=\"http://dms.ntsb.gov/public%2F55000-55499%2F55433%2F543238.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a 139-page summary\u003c/a> of crew interviews following the crash. The pilot at the controls of the flight, Captain Lee Kang Kuk, told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about having to land the airliner using a visual approach to the airport. The visual approach was necessary because an airport glide-slope indicator, a system that helps pilots monitor their descent to the runway, was not operating because of construction work at SFO. Lee, a 19-year veteran with Asiana, was training to fly the 777 and making his first landing attempt at SFO at the controls of one of the Boeing jumbo jets. He's quoted as telling investigators he found everything about landing at the airport difficult, \"even landing and taxiing to the gate was stressful, because it was very busy and the controllers were very busy and spoke quickly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to his concern for the approach, the interview summary says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Lee] was asked whether he found the accident approach easy or difficult or in the middle. He said it was very stressful, very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane, always. From the planning phase it was very stressful because the glideslope was very, very helpful to making an approach. He knew the NOTAMs [\u003ca href=\"http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">Notices to Airmen\u003c/a>] said it was out of service, but everyone else had been doing the visual approach, so he could not say he could not do the visual approach. That had been “a very stressful factor”. Asked whether he was concerned about his ability to perform the visual approach, he said “very concerned, yea”. Asked what aspect he was most concerned about, he said, “the unstable approach”. He added, “exactly controlling the descent profile and the lateral profile, that is very stressful.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief 777 pilot, Lee Sung-kil, was asked at today's NTSB hearing if he could explain why Lee Kang Kuk would have felt stressed at the prospect of a visual landing at SFO without the glideslope system. Through a translator, the chief pilot said he was at a loss to explain those statements and emphasized Lee Kang Kuk's nearly 10,000 hours of flying experience with Asiana. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his post-crash interview with the safety board investigators, Lee Kang Kuk suggested he was reluctant to initiate an emergency \"go around\" in deference to the instructor pilot monitoring his handling of the flight, Capt. Lee Jungmin. The instructor pilot, also referred to as the \"pilot monitoring,\" or PM, was senior to the trainee pilot. In an exchange that illustrates a possible language barrier between the Korean pilot and the accident investigators, he tried to explain why it was \"a hard thing\" for him to take control of the plane for the \"go around\" even as the crash was near:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Normally only in our Korean culture, the one step higher level, the final decision people, he did, he decide the going-around thing. It’s very important thing. As a first officer or the low level people, they dare to think about the go around thing. It’s very hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q. (Investigator): \u003c/strong>In your mind, then, and I don’t want to put words in your mouth, you tell me, did you feel that as the pilot in the left seat flying the airplane that you had the authority to do, commence a go around yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. (Lee Kang Kuk):\u003c/strong> Go around thing. That is very important thing. But the instructor pilot got the authority. Even I am on the left seat [in the command pilot's position], that is very hard to explain, that is our culture. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk told investigators he was briefly blinded by an unidentified bright light in front of the plane as it neared the runway. That prompted investigators to ask in a follow-up interview whether he wore sunglasses in the cockpit. Lee told the investigators no, \"because it would have been considered impolite for him to wear them when he was flying with his PM. He said it was very important in their culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flight 214 was Lee Kang Kuk's fifth training trip aboard a 777, but he told investigators he was not sure he was prepared to fly the jet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Asked how confident he felt about his knowledge of the B777 autoflight system just prior to the accident, he said he was not so confident because he felt he should study more. Asked whether he had been studying and did not feel confident or he had not had enough time to study sufficiently, he said he did not know if he had studied a proper amount, he had just followed the company program. Asked if he felt he was still learning how the system worked, he said every pilot should study every day.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the pilot interviews and what they reveal about the events leading to the Asiana Flight 214 crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Martha Mendoza and Stephen Braun\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Associated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WASHINGTON — The pilot whose Boeing 777 crashed last summer at the San Francisco airport told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about attempting a visual approach without the runway's instrument landing aids, which were out of service because of construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk, a 46-year-old pilot who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco, \"stated it was very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane.\" The jet came in too low and slow and crash-landed, killing three people and injuring more than 200, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visual approach involves lining the jet up for landing by looking through the windshield and using numerous other cues, rather than relying on a radio-based system that guides aircraft to the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report was released at the start of a daylong NTSB hearing that was called to answer lingering questions about the crash, not to conclude exactly what went wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Lee was an experienced pilot with the Korea-based airline, he was a trainee captain in the 777, with less than 45 hours in the jet. He had not piloted an airliner into San Francisco since 2004, according to NTSB investigator Bill English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the investigation has not found any mechanical problems with the 777 prior to impact, although testing is ongoing, English said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that he realized others had been safely landing at San Francisco without the glide-slope indicator, an array of antennas that transmits a signal into the cockpit to help with the descent. That system was out of service while the runway was expanded. It has since been restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview, the trainee said that while privately he was \"very concerned\" about his ability to do a visual approach, \"everyone else had been doing (it), so he could not say he could not do the visual approach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other indications that a culture of not acknowledging weakness — and of deferring to a higher-ranking colleague — contributed to the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told NTSB investigators that he did not immediately move to abort the landing and perform a \"go around\" as the plane descended because he felt that only the instructor pilot had the authority to initiate that emergency move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reluctance of junior officers to speak up had been an issue in past accidents, though industry training has tried to emphasize that safety should come first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also conceded that he was worried about his unfamiliarity with the 777's autoflight systems. He admitted he had not studied the systems well enough and thought that the plane's autothrottle was supposed to prevent the jet from flying below minimum speed as it drew near the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two other Asiana pilots who took an instruction class with Lee said that they were told that the throttle hold did not automatically re-engage under certain autopilot modes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This pilot should never have taken off,\" said attorney Ilyas Akbari, whose firm represents 14 of the passengers. \"The fact that the pilot was stressed and nervous is a testament to the inadequate training he received, and those responsible for his training and for certifying his competency bear some of the culpability for the tragedy of this crash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that as he realized his approach was off, he was worried he might \"fail his flight and would be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Asiana pilot who recently flew with Lee told investigators that he was not sure if the trainee captain was making normal progress and that he did not perform well during a trip two days before the accident. That captain described Lee as \"not well organized or prepared,\" according to the investigative report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief pilot told investigators that the airline recommended pilots use as much automation \"as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that the airline told its pilots to turn off the 777's autopilots below 1,000 feet when making visual approaches to airports. But a former Asiana pilot told the board that Asiana pilots were rarely allowed to practice visual approaches on landing and that many trainee pilots \"did not feel confident and did not want to make any mistakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency did not say whether Asiana's reliance on automatic landings was greater than the industry norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recordings from the cockpit show Lee took the controls as the autopilot disconnected when the plane was about 1,500 feet above San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee insisted in interviews that he had been blinded during a critical instant before the botched landing by a piercing light from outside the aircraft. NTSB investigators repeatedly probed him about the light, but he was unable to pinpoint its origin or how it precisely affected him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instructor pilot said he never saw a bright light outside the aircraft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a transcript of the Asiana plane's cockpit voice recorder, the crew did not comment on the jet's low approach until it reached 200 feet above the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's low,\" an unnamed crewman said at 11:27 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an instant, the plane began to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 20 feet, another crewman broke in: \"Go around,\" he said. But It was too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NTSB investigators also raised concerns about a safety certification issue involving the design of Boeing 777's controls, warning that the plane's protection against stalling does not always automatically engage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the plane's autothrottle is placed in a \"hold\" mode, as it was during the Asiana flight, it is supposed to re-engage or \"wake up\" when the plane slows to its minimum airspeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a pilot who oversaw the Boeing 787 flight tests for the Federal Aviation Administration told the NTSB that both the 787 and the 777 have the same anti-stall protection systems — and that the wake-up system did not always work when tested at minimum speeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeing's retired 777 chief pilot, John Cashman, underscored that auto controls are not designed to replace pilots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pilot is the final authority for the operation of the airplane,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Investigator): \u003c/strong>In your mind, then, and I don’t want to put words in your mouth, you tell me, did you feel that as the pilot in the left seat flying the airplane that you had the authority to do, commence a go around yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. (Lee Kang Kuk):\u003c/strong> Go around thing. That is very important thing. But the instructor pilot got the authority. Even I am on the left seat [in the command pilot's position], that is very hard to explain, that is our culture. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk told investigators he was briefly blinded by an unidentified bright light in front of the plane as it neared the runway. That prompted investigators to ask in a follow-up interview whether he wore sunglasses in the cockpit. Lee told the investigators no, \"because it would have been considered impolite for him to wear them when he was flying with his PM. He said it was very important in their culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flight 214 was Lee Kang Kuk's fifth training trip aboard a 777, but he told investigators he was not sure he was prepared to fly the jet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Asked how confident he felt about his knowledge of the B777 autoflight system just prior to the accident, he said he was not so confident because he felt he should study more. Asked whether he had been studying and did not feel confident or he had not had enough time to study sufficiently, he said he did not know if he had studied a proper amount, he had just followed the company program. Asked if he felt he was still learning how the system worked, he said every pilot should study every day.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the pilot interviews and what they reveal about the events leading to the Asiana Flight 214 crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Martha Mendoza and Stephen Braun\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Associated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WASHINGTON — The pilot whose Boeing 777 crashed last summer at the San Francisco airport told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about attempting a visual approach without the runway's instrument landing aids, which were out of service because of construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk, a 46-year-old pilot who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco, \"stated it was very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane.\" The jet came in too low and slow and crash-landed, killing three people and injuring more than 200, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visual approach involves lining the jet up for landing by looking through the windshield and using numerous other cues, rather than relying on a radio-based system that guides aircraft to the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report was released at the start of a daylong NTSB hearing that was called to answer lingering questions about the crash, not to conclude exactly what went wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Lee was an experienced pilot with the Korea-based airline, he was a trainee captain in the 777, with less than 45 hours in the jet. He had not piloted an airliner into San Francisco since 2004, according to NTSB investigator Bill English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the investigation has not found any mechanical problems with the 777 prior to impact, although testing is ongoing, English said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that he realized others had been safely landing at San Francisco without the glide-slope indicator, an array of antennas that transmits a signal into the cockpit to help with the descent. That system was out of service while the runway was expanded. It has since been restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview, the trainee said that while privately he was \"very concerned\" about his ability to do a visual approach, \"everyone else had been doing (it), so he could not say he could not do the visual approach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other indications that a culture of not acknowledging weakness — and of deferring to a higher-ranking colleague — contributed to the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told NTSB investigators that he did not immediately move to abort the landing and perform a \"go around\" as the plane descended because he felt that only the instructor pilot had the authority to initiate that emergency move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reluctance of junior officers to speak up had been an issue in past accidents, though industry training has tried to emphasize that safety should come first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also conceded that he was worried about his unfamiliarity with the 777's autoflight systems. He admitted he had not studied the systems well enough and thought that the plane's autothrottle was supposed to prevent the jet from flying below minimum speed as it drew near the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two other Asiana pilots who took an instruction class with Lee said that they were told that the throttle hold did not automatically re-engage under certain autopilot modes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This pilot should never have taken off,\" said attorney Ilyas Akbari, whose firm represents 14 of the passengers. \"The fact that the pilot was stressed and nervous is a testament to the inadequate training he received, and those responsible for his training and for certifying his competency bear some of the culpability for the tragedy of this crash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that as he realized his approach was off, he was worried he might \"fail his flight and would be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Asiana pilot who recently flew with Lee told investigators that he was not sure if the trainee captain was making normal progress and that he did not perform well during a trip two days before the accident. That captain described Lee as \"not well organized or prepared,\" according to the investigative report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief pilot told investigators that the airline recommended pilots use as much automation \"as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that the airline told its pilots to turn off the 777's autopilots below 1,000 feet when making visual approaches to airports. But a former Asiana pilot told the board that Asiana pilots were rarely allowed to practice visual approaches on landing and that many trainee pilots \"did not feel confident and did not want to make any mistakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency did not say whether Asiana's reliance on automatic landings was greater than the industry norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recordings from the cockpit show Lee took the controls as the autopilot disconnected when the plane was about 1,500 feet above San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee insisted in interviews that he had been blinded during a critical instant before the botched landing by a piercing light from outside the aircraft. NTSB investigators repeatedly probed him about the light, but he was unable to pinpoint its origin or how it precisely affected him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instructor pilot said he never saw a bright light outside the aircraft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a transcript of the Asiana plane's cockpit voice recorder, the crew did not comment on the jet's low approach until it reached 200 feet above the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's low,\" an unnamed crewman said at 11:27 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an instant, the plane began to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 20 feet, another crewman broke in: \"Go around,\" he said. But It was too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NTSB investigators also raised concerns about a safety certification issue involving the design of Boeing 777's controls, warning that the plane's protection against stalling does not always automatically engage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the plane's autothrottle is placed in a \"hold\" mode, as it was during the Asiana flight, it is supposed to re-engage or \"wake up\" when the plane slows to its minimum airspeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a pilot who oversaw the Boeing 787 flight tests for the Federal Aviation Administration told the NTSB that both the 787 and the 777 have the same anti-stall protection systems — and that the wake-up system did not always work when tested at minimum speeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeing's retired 777 chief pilot, John Cashman, underscored that auto controls are not designed to replace pilots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
