Description
Could a Boeing 737 MAX recover from a terrifying dive with no one at the controls? The story of Flydubai Flight 1073 raises that extraordinary possibility.
In this video, I combine passenger accounts with an ADS-B flight reconstruction to examine the reported cockpit attack, the intervention that helped save 180 people, and the damaged aircraft’s eventual landing in Tabuk.
We break down the extreme descent, the aircraft’s natural aerodynamic stability, and the distinctive “phugoid” pattern that may explain its recovery. We also examine damage to the rudder and evidence suggesting a possible shutdown and restart of both engines—while distinguishing what the available information shows from what remains a theory.
I’m Stan, and this is Flying for Money. Subscribe for more aviation analysis and flight reconstructions.
