Text says rate of decent was 5m/s (300f/m). This doesn't make sense. Should it be 5f/s? Osram (talk) 08:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Interestingly the source quoted doesnt mention 300 fpm but actually says He planned his descent to be about 1000 fpm, and he did not recall any "abnormal" sink rate. Makes you wonder how much more in the article is not in the source provided http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/ntsb/AAR70-14.pdf MilborneOne (talk) 19:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Innappropriate title/phrasing

Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 933 was not "a controlled flight into terrain". It was a regular flight between one place and another, that presumably did so successfully numerous times before it accidentally crashed. The CRASH of Flight 933 was caused by a controlled flight into terrain. Flight 933 was a regularly scheduled flight which crashed, but it was not a "controlled flight into terrain". A CFIT is what it is, and "Flight 933" is not "a CFIT". It is a scheduled airline flight number. They are not the same thing. Flight 933 was not intended to crash. On other air crash articles, they say "United Airlines Flight 292 was a regular scheduled flight between...." which later crashed, etc, etc. Either the article title should be changed to "The crash of...Flight 933", or the introductory sentence should be changed..45Colt 00:09, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the observation, I have tweaked the lead the try and make it clearer, it is normal practice on wikipedia to use the flight number for accident articles. MilborneOne (talk) 17:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
