There are always exceptions.
I was thinking of asking you some questions about the aircraft you
fly. I was reading where the copilot who crashed the airbus up in
Queens several years ago crashed it because he was too heavy-
handed on the tail controls and actually caused some of the
tail or control surfaces to break off. I was wondering if you
or the average pilot has a mental picture of what's going on
when controls are worked.
Do you know for example what actuates the flaps and have
you taken the time to work with a mechanic so as to familiarize
yourself with the equipment you fly?
It seems strange that a pilot could break an aircraft by being
heavy handed. This tells me that particular pilot did not have
a clue as to the machine he was operating.
Comments . . .
You ask a very complicated question, Captain. I don't really know how I
can explain this in "sailing" terms.
It would take me hours to express all sides of the incident, but to make a
short summary, the engineers knew of this danger, and somehow it didn't get
down to the "pilot in command".
If you buy me dinner, I would be happy to elaborate freely on this subject.
After all, I wouldn't want to bore the gay sailor's in this newgroup about
something they have no clue about...
