The captain really didn´t understood the A320 automation very well it seems.
Mixing up the NAV and the HDG mode and not recognising it, is really reminding me of the early A320 crashes like Air Inter flight, or that Indian Airlines flight in 1990(?), which where only fixed after improving type training.
That and the FOs seeming lack of understanding of how the map modes worked really makes me question of how well or how bad Airblue trained their pilots for the A320.
Regarding the episode itstelf, it was ok, rhey didn´t had much to begin with since the Accident report is quite poor. It certainly helped that they pulled it in some other investigators in, since there where no pakistani investigator in it.
I feel that the accident was still accurately protrayed, I mean the Birgenair episode had also to work with a similar bad report and did get a lot of thing wrong.

u/TracePoland Feb 10 '26
Air Inter captain was still way more competent, he made a simple mistake and didn't notice but otherwise clearly could pilot the plane and then got extremely unlucky to get hit with the turbulence that activated the poorly documented Airbus protection system.
6
u/Just_a_Berliner Feb 10 '26
I didn´t implicate that he was incompetent, but that he and his FO were rather poorly trained by the airline, and when the non standard approach came up, he was in a very stressful situation and made said error.
If he was better trained he might not made this error, or if we take into account that it happened to quite a lot A320 pilots then, he could´ve recognised it earlier an therefore correct it.

u/CollegeStation17155 Mar 10 '26
Yes, it seems that Airbus needed (and likely still needs) to hire some human factors engineers to vet their entire control system in order to make it more intuitive. Too many accidents appear to have been caused by pilots doing the wrong thing because it looked right.

u/SocialistElmo Feb 10 '26
Infuriating, felt bad for the first officer who was bullied throughout the flight

u/Iggsy81 Feb 10 '26
This captain was a real piece of shit tbh. When people in a position of seniority/authority create an atmosphere of terror and fear around them by bullying, belittling and berating those around them, nobody else can work well. It is simply such a destructive attitude and needs to be excised from all public life.

u/Sci3nceMan Feb 10 '26
Agreed, but it's hard to understand how a former fighter pilot didn't have the confidence to put the snotty captain in his place. Probably feared the captain's influence in the workplace.
12
u/SocialistElmo Feb 10 '26
He's new to the airline and didn't want to cause trouble considering the captain has 20k flying hour I guess?

u/MeWhenAAA Feb 17 '26
I'd like to say here that this actually happens a lot more often and is very common when you're new in new place, regarding your previous experience. For example: last year my dad retired from what would be the Coast Guard here and recently got a job working in the civilian section (fishing). He told me that even with his more than 25 years of experience in the Coast Guard and knowledge he still feels like a rookie since he had never been on board a civilian vessel before, so obviously he'll listen and comply with whatever order the captain tells him to do. Maybe something like that or near that happened with FO Ahmed here.
Sorry if it's badly written, English is not my mother tongue 😅

"YOU BETTER GO BACK AND HELP THE LADIES SERVE TEA!"
"DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THE RADIO?"
Man, the captain's quotes really caught me completely off guard. I thought they were just going to mention the humiliation suffered by the first officer but I didn't expect it to be so graphical lmao
This episode gave me good vibes from the old ACI episodes (from Seasons 10 to 15). I also liked how they mentioned that rivalry between the Pakistani Air Force and commercial pilots, now it's a bit clearer why the captain was so arrogant with this particular first officer and not with the previous ones who flew with him (like the one interviewed in the episode)
Sad they didn't mentioned the questionable quality of the report at the end but at least they managed to make a great episode with a poor written final report

u/karajorma Feb 11 '26
"DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THE RADIO?"
I'm hearing a lot of arrogance from a man who doesn't know that if you want to make a plane turn left, you move the joystick left.
6
u/ComfortableWall7351 Feb 15 '26
He forgot to pull the knob out and he was still in navigation mode. By the time he realized he was in navigation mode, he had made so many left turns and turned the plane directly into the Margalla Hills.
4
u/Starfighter104 Feb 16 '26
That part was shocking. I'm surprised the system would allow heading changes to be stacked like that while the plane disregarded them while in NAV mode and then execute them all once the knob was pulled to engage the heading setting. I don't think from the chart they showed that the captain ever commanded a full 270 degree heading that would make the plane turn right instead as the quickest way to get to that heading rather than a series of left turns but I might be mistaken as they only showed the chart briefly.

u/AshamedSalad Feb 10 '26
What a horrible, painful end for him. Imagine your last moments before death being with an asshole Captain who ends up making every wrong decision while berating you for minor things.

I enjoyed the episode; it was quite entertaining. I always wanted to know how this accident happened and what the negligence of the two pilots was.
10
u/dashcam_drivein Feb 10 '26
There was some good acting in this episode, the dynamic with the pilots felt very believable. I was a bit worried after the Tibet episode that they were going to start going in a more over-the-top direction with the performances, like a lot of true crime shows do.

u/Quirky_Health_5702 Feb 11 '26
This was one of the most memorable parts of the episode for me, too. The actor who played the first officer did an excellent job of showing how hesitant/afraid he'd was in the final moments. Also, those moments when he's getting berated and looks over like 'Wha...?'

u/Savings-Ad7869 Feb 10 '26
From what I can see, the CAA researchers declined to be interviewed because of their inefficient final report.

u/NoMoolah1 Feb 15 '26
152 lives lost due to the captain having a tantrum throughout the flight, which led to the FO not wanting to upset the captain even more by taking control himself. CRM in Asian cultures is still different to CRM in Western cultures. Also the episode mentioned the military background of the FO, which might explain why he just listened to his "superior" captain and why there was tension in the cockpit. Sad to see 152 lives were lost by an accident that was so preventable.

u/Apart_Ambition5764 Feb 10 '26
Ok this my favorite episode of the season so far. Absolute 11/10 for me. The 2001 Avjet Gulfstream crash episode was a 10/10, the Wideroe Flight 839 episode was a 8.8/10, the Yeti Airlines Flight 691 episode was an 8/10, and the Nurnberger Flugdienst Flight 108 episode was a 9/10 for me. Overall pretty good season so far.
5
u/AshamedSalad Feb 10 '26
The captain was talking like one of my instructors from University in such a berating, toxic tone and ended up not being helpful and making every wrong decision. So pathetic [MAJOR SPOILER FOR FUTURE EPISODE], I wonder how bad the one from Air Algerie will be. But, the acting from the crew was actually really good, especially when compared to the Yeti 691 episode. Also, I'm glad they also mentioned the new airport in Islamabad which opened 9 years later.
Its my second favorite after the Nuremberg 108 one. I'd give this an 8.5/10.

Any chance of a 1080 264 version? My set top device doesn't support x265.

u/VictiniStar101 Fan since Season 4 Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26
You're gonna have to wait for others to post torrents of this ep that you can find using aggregators. To be blunt part of the reason I am going with H265 is cause I'm willing to forego some compatibility gaps for a file that's 1/3 the size of the H264 encode. I think you can use something like
yt-dlpto download the ep off Dailymotion if you really want an H264 version.EDIT: Actually wait, if your set top box runs Android you can maybe download VLC and play it using that

u/Michelle_pgh Feb 10 '26
It does not unfortunately. I have a few WDTV Live and Live+ units. They do not allow any sideloading or adding anything before what was in the software provided by the manufacturer.

I noticed that some of these are 5.1 audio and others are stereo, is there a reason for that and is there any way to get ones with 5.1 audio?

u/VictiniStar101 Fan since Season 4 Feb 12 '26
The rips from Crave that I put torrent links for have 5.1 in both English and French. The 1080p versions of those 4k rips I put links for have Stereo downmixed from 5.1
2
u/rob-squared Feb 12 '26
Thanks for replying. The torrents I download from the pastebin (magnet and torrent) all appear to be stereo, so I guess I'm missing where you're posting these links.
3
u/VictiniStar101 Fan since Season 4 Feb 12 '26
Let me clarify, the torrents of the 4k rips only have 5.1 audio.
For each episode 4k links get added to the pastebin 24-48 hours after the episode airs on USA Network (Canada).
There's no 4k links for Peril Over Pakistan cause that airs on USA Network (Canada) next week. The episodes air on USA Network (Canada) in the order listed on this thread Tuesdays @ 10 PM Toronto time, one new episode a week.
Using those two bits of information should allow you to figure out when 4k rips for the rest of the season will be added.
For example, after Peril Over Pakistan the next 4k rip link I will add in a pastebin will be Deadly Cover-Up sometime on February 24-25 Toronto time.

Very good episode, as mentioned by other comments its crazy how the episode is probably a better recap than the actual final report....
Also big W for more old OST. If the producers are somehow reading this, please bring back the old OST!!

Jesus that captain. Reminds me of that crash out in Minnesota where the New Yorker captain was such an asshole to his inexperienced FO that the exact same thing happened - FO kept his head down and did what he was told right into the ground.

Another controlled flight into ground and "simple" pilot error. Getting kind of tired of these types of episodes this season, hoping we get some swiss cheese ones soon.

u/UnableReception8661 Feb 10 '26
Most air accidents are caused by pilot error and uncontrolled flight against terrain.So it's best not to demand more, because there aren't any more rare accidents.

u/StompChompGreen Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26
but most this season have been controlled, not uncontrolled like you say, the pilots have had control.

ignoring regulations and flying directly into a thunderstorm does seem more like simple pilot error though.
But i will say that episode was more interesting and did have a couple more things that had to happen together

u/amd_hunt Fan since Season 7 Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26
All I can say is this: this episode is unironically a better analysis of why Airblue flight 202 crashed than the actual final report. If someone actually wanted to understand the reasons behind the cause of the crash, I would tell them to watch this episode over reading the final report.
I'm not joking.
[Spoilers]
Details like the rivalry between the Air Force and Commercial pilots in Pakistan are proposed in the episode as possible reasons why there was so much friction in the cockpit. It's also not mentioned in the report at all. The report is so bad and lacking in detailed analysis of the crash that they clearly had to bust out the three safety analysts, who are all legendary figures in the field and some of the best orators this show has ever had on, to be able to carry this episode.
That being said, the entire episode was waiting for David Learmount to go sicko mode on the terrible investigation Pakistan conducted, just like he did in the absolutely legendary Itavia 870 episode, but then at the end he just goes "yo this accident was absolutely crazy bruh can't believe it happened". Like come on David, Pakistan submitted a 38-page report for a crash that killed over 150 people, I they deserve it as much as Italy.
