Reports that a FlyDubai 737-800 has crashed in Rostov-On-don in Russia killing (all?) 55 on board. Sounds like he may have had difficulties landing in bad weather

Sounds on the money to me, thing is, this isn't the first time a Pilot has caused a crash due to not trusting the instruments, has it ever happened the other way around where the instruments have mis-read and caused a crash?

I believe the BMA 737 crash at Kegworth was caused by an instrument that was not as "untrust-worthy" on previous variants being ignored and having some bearing on the crash.

Kegworth was the result of misidentifying which engine had failed and the shutting down of the wrong engine.

It was exacerbated by the layout of the engine instruments on that model of 737 being different to earlier models, lack of crew experience on that model, and poor CRM (Crew Rsource Management).

I knew it was the wrong engine, just looking at the reasons he thought it was that engine.
