Hello everybody!
It's my first post, so let me introduce myself: I am a (fresh made) de/antiicing instructor in one of the European airlines, and I have a little question to the more knowleable of You:
After the whole treatment of MD80 is finished, PIC must be informed (at least at my airline) if both elevators stay trailing edge down. Apparently it indicates some kind of malfunction (or possibility of one). If elevators are deflected "up" or asymetrically it's OK.
So far I couldn't find the satisfactory answer, what EXACTLY is the reason for such procedure... :ugh:
I will be really greateful if any of Mad Dog Wizards will enlighten me in this matter!
Thanks in advance! :)
