Unfortunately people do not realize how fast distance is covered going at 400-500 knots. airliners fly high and the speed does not translate into its scale. I had the chance of going low in beech King air at 250 knots and even that seemed quite fast where even the slightest of error can make you end up literally digging your own grave.If u are talking about Flt Lt Umer,the a/c was all good so yeah it was pilot error..pity we lost that guy he was best of the best.I was lucky to have a friend like him.
Yes it was,the a/c hit the ground with high speed and pilot's body was torn to pieces that's why i took time to find him...RIP.
Aircraft are also machines that obey the laws of physics including inertia and so on. Display teams around the world are made of some of the best of pilots who train for such displays day in and day out; they too end up making mistakes.
