| ‘Last words’ of Flydubai pilots revealed |
| 2016-03-21 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The pilots of the Flydubai plane that crashed in Russia on Saturday, killing 62 people, had expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... s over weather conditions, an air traffic control recording has allegedly revealed. One of the pilots in the seven-minute recording can be heard asking whether the "weather is better?" as they approached Rostov-on-Don airport. Apparently it wasn't. Preliminary information indicates the FlyDubai Flight FZ981 was landing when it hit the ground and broke into pieces at the airport about 950 kilometers south of Moscow. |

| #7 Check Wickipedia front page. They were executing a routine go-around when something suddenly went very wrong. Likely massive wind shear. |

| #6 Who'd wait in pattern for 2 hours if he was just going to crash it deliberately? |

| #4 New discount airline with lower paid, less experienced pilots encounter difficult flying weather. The odds aren't good that smart flying will result. |

| #3 They missed their first approach then held for 2 hours. Prolly low on fuel and began their approach too close to the airport and too high = "diving to the numbers" (not a good strategy). That's why alternate airports. |
