UK plane with 48 people fell to 928ft from ground over pilot error
England-based Flybe airline's plane with 44 passengers and four crew members descended 500 feet in 18 seconds on January 11 after the pilot selected the wrong autopilot setting shortly after take-off, a government inquiry revealed. The Belfast-Glasgow flight had "become visual with the ground," staff said. After cockpit alarms, the 60-year-old pilot disconnected the autopilot at 928 feet altitude.
