Pilot pressuring

The crash in 1997 in Guam is a good indicator of having to "making use of all the people in the cockpit." The ILS system was out of service during the time of their flight but even with the junior officer and flight engineer reminding the captain, the plane was not able to escape the fate of crashing several miles short of the runway. ^[1]

"Actually, correcting one’s boss is a universal problem. It’s not confined to Asia or airplane cockpits. And it isn’t simply whether to express disagreement. It’s also how you do it and how what you say is heard." ^[2]

Pilot pressuring by ranking can be a part of miscommunication, along with cultural power distance. This is usually "driven by respect to authority and attitude toward hierarchy". ^[3]

what is a crossbar?

The issue of 'cross bar' design is mentioned, but the description or a link to a seat crossbar is missing. What is it? Where in or at the seat is it? How was the design changed?

Number of passengers and crew

In the infobox, it's stated that there were 235 passengers and 19 crew members. But in the Accident section, it's stated that there were 237 passengers and 17 crew members. Which is correct? Aminabzz (talk) 10:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
