Written by A330 Captain, Bill Palmer, this book opens to understanding the actions of the crew, how they failed to understand and control the problem, and how the airplane works and the part it played. All in easy to understand terms.
Addressed are the many contributing aspects of weather, human factors, and airplane system operation and design that the crew could not recover from. How each contributed is covered in detail along with what has been done, and needs to be done in the future to prevent this from happening again.

It would be great if there would never have been a need to write this book. However, if this book weren't written now, it would have to be written at some point, for some aircraft and some other airline.
AF447 was a tragedy. It is, at first thought, amazing how a modern airliner with highest technology and highly trained crew on board can simply disappear. Bill Palmer dissects that fateful night in admirable detail. He takes you there - from the initial moment of strange indications, to the incomprehension in the cockpit, to the disastrous ending - as well as to the pain-staking investigation and final report. You live the cockpit conversations, you feel the confusion, you can smell the desperation. It's not a suspenseful novel - you already know the outcome. What you learn here is the detailed, second-by-second analysis of what went on and what went wrong.
Bill writes with the technical perspective of someone who understands the accident aircraft in finest detail. Of someone who understands the benefits as well as shortcomings of Airline Training in its finest detail. Of someone who understands Human Factors. Every accident is the result of a chain of events. Bill does not assign fault. And he offers solutions to prevent recurrence of a similar accident.
I admire the author for his tenacious research, and for creating a work that appeals to everyone with a basic amount of technical understanding - from basic aviation enthusiasts to airline instructors: As an aviation enthusiast I was utterly fascinated by the read. As an airline pilot I was incredulous. And as an A330-pilot the book had a profound impact on me.
Captain Palmer draws attention to a somewhat overlooked problem not only in aviation but also in many other fields that have undergone a rapid paradigm-shift in technological advance: Do Humans run technology, or does technology run the Humans?

I fly the A330, the author was one of my simulator instructors when I checked out 7 years ago. Capt Palmer wrote our operating manual for the A330, and writes an excellent analysis of this accident. This book is a must read for any Airbus pilot or anyone wishing to understand more about this accident.
