On the 20th of December 2019 an Airbus A318 from Air France, Flight 7512, suffered a very serious upset event during approach into Toulon in Southern France. The upset was caused by a little known feature of the ILS system known as a false glideslope and in this video I will tell you all about what happened and what we can learn from it.
