A flight simulation was conducted to answer the question of whether a plane can be deliberately crashed or hijacked. The simulator, a Boeing 737 NG, was flown by Captain Vincent and his copilot, who attempted to crash the plane by disconnecting the autopilot and nosing it down. However, the captain was able to counter the copilot's actions, demonstrating that it is unlikely for a plane to be deliberately crashed.
The simulation also showed that the plane's radius of turn is affected by its speed, with higher speeds resulting in a larger radius of turn. This was demonstrated by flying the plane at 300 knots and 200 knots and comparing the radius of turn.
The simulation was used to replicate the data from Flightradar24 for the Sriwijaya SJ-182 flight, which was involved in a recent crash. The results showed that it is unlikely that the plane was deliberately crashed, as the air speed increased when the plane was nosed down, resulting in a small bend in the flight path.
The conclusion of the simulation is that it is unlikely for a plane to be deliberately crashed or hijacked, and that the tragic events of the Sriwijaya SJ-182 flight were likely the result of other factors.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The video is hosted by Captain Vincent, who is accompanied by Mr. Fitra Eri.
2. The topic of discussion is whether it is possible to deliberately crash an airplane.
3. The simulator used in the video is a Boeing 737 NG.
4. The Boeing 737-500, which is a Boeing 737 Classic, is a different series from the one used in the simulator.
5. The flight simulator is used to demonstrate what would happen if a plane is deliberately crashed.
6. The video is not intended to precede the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT).
7. The flight simulator is set up to replicate the flight path of Sriwijaya Flight SJ-182.
8. The flight simulator shows that it is unlikely that the plane was deliberately crashed.
9. The simulator demonstrates that the radius of turn of the plane increases with speed.
10. The simulator shows that the plane's airspeed increases when it is nosed down.
11. The simulator shows that the plane's turn radius is smaller at lower speeds.
12. The video concludes that it is unlikely that the plane was deliberately crashed, whether by sabotage or hijacking.
13. The video notes that the flight path of Sriwijaya Flight SJ-182 showed a very sharp turn, steep climb, and steep descent.
14. The video notes that the plane's heading changed from 046 to 339, a 70° turn, which is very significant.
15. The video concludes that it is unlikely that the plane was deliberately crashed, and that the flight path is not consistent with a deliberate crash.
