Main audio at 4:50. More at http://www.airdisaster.info/fo... TSC211, an Airbus 310 operated by Air Transat, was conducting an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight departing from Québec/Jean-Lesage (CYQB) to Montréal/Trudeau (CYUL). Shortly after takeoff, the pilot declared an emergency (PAN PAN). At the same time, the radar registered a drop in altitude from 3 000 ft to 1 300 ft. The pilot then asked to confirm aircraft speed and altitude. He said there had been a problem with speed indication, which seemed to be resolved now. The emergency was cancelled at 1949Z and the aircraft continued its flight to destination. Update #1: The TSB occurrence number and class of investigation were added. The aircraft registration was added. Event name "Aircraft navigation/communication equipment" replaced with "Weather -- clear air turbulence (CAT)/wind shear/turbulence." According to TSB Report #A08Q0051, an airbus 310, operated by Air Transat, departed from Québec/Jean-Lesage (CYQB) bound for Montréal/Trudeau (CYUL). During flap retraction at 3 000 feet, strong wind shears caused fluctuations of altitude and airspeed. The crew declared a PAN PAN emergency. A few seconds later, flight conditions returned to normal. The aircraft continued to climb normally, pursued its flight to Montréal/Trudeau and landed without incident. In accordance with aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) 0551-17, a check was made for severe turbulence and to determine if the aircraft exceeded Mmo/Vmo limits. No damage was found. The flight recorder was also removed. Flight data analysis revealed that load factor was not exceeded. Update #2: Investigation Class 5 changed to investigation Class 3. Audio from liveatc.net .

Panicking voice or not he kept the nose down applied high throttle (can hear them) to regain airspeed & control to save the day, (not a pilot but i understand the controls etc) despite the 'sinking lift' feeling well done i reckon, he wants to see his kids again like rest of us.

For pity's sake everyone on Youtube is a bloody pilot. I agree with an earlier comment - there was little more the pilot could do in an extremely alarming situation. How easy is it to sit in front of your PC and talk about calm without hundreds of lives and your own in your hands.

i agree with vyou, i am a pilot to. But i only flew gliding planes...
armanys2003 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
lets put it in this way 'certain accidents could have been prevented if the pilot/s would act in different way'. We come to that conclusion after investigating the accidents for monts or years... the pilots have only seconds to decide... I will agree though there certain historical accidents have been human gross mistakes. about the airpseed. for this case, the plane sinking and low airpseed leaves no room to think that the airspeed indication is erroneously wrong.

A low airspeed display might also be symptomatic in rarer cases of obstructed pitot tubes or defective instruments...Thats why its imperative to stay calm and consider all options. Unfortunatly, still today, the majority of air accidents can be attributed to pilot errors...

If you are taking off with full throttles and the airplane starts loosing altitude, there is not much you can do, rather than to make sure that you have correct flap setting, and full throttle set and air brakes are not deployed. at that point when you also see that your airspeed is low, there is really not much to do but to lower the nose and panic/wait/hope/pray that the airspeed will come back before you reach the ground.
