Near fatal SAA air incident in 2018 in Europe finds poor training of airline staff cause of a near tragedy.
Flying South African Airways is getting more and more dangerous according to an official investigation into a 2018 incident at high altitudes over Europe. The report also found that the crew was insufficiently trained and SAA's flight simulator had outdated software. While the flight control primary computer on the simulator used software version W6.3, that of the aircraft was version W10. The main difference between the two was the emphasis on the airspeed at which the autopilot will automatically deactivate.
