Quote from andrasz:
"...and probably you could achieve a successful planned takeoff at 10 tons over MTOW, same cannot be said if speeds and flaps settings are based on a lower weight."

Agreed....

Thanks Karel_x,

I may be missing something, but so far I still did not recognise any debris from the left wing in any picture I have seen.

Hi Machinbird,

To be fair, I think other posters have previously speculated on both slat/flap asymmetry and premature retraction of slats and/or flaps.

I'd be interested to hear your opinion,...

Hi Machinbird,

Unfortunately, we still have no information on the dutch-rolling characteristics of the Tu-154 with the yaw damper system simply turned off. I was hoping a Tu-154 pilot might...

Thanks K,

So that's the starboard-side and fuselage wreckage laid out within a rough outline of the aircraft. It would be interesting to see what they've got on the port side.

I still don't understand this fully. Did the transposition of the wiring also stop the crew from simply turning the yaw damper off?

Is there an ON/OFF switch? Failing that, is there a CB?

Hi megan,

You've misquoted my question as an assertion! := For the benefit of any newcomers, this was my question:

Good evening Kulverstukas,

In the latest picture you have posted (in #372), is that the R/H (starboard) wing again?

If so, is the L/H (port) wing missing, or in small pieces?

On a completely different tack, are we to understand that, unsurprisingly, the TU-154 has a natural tendency to dutch-roll at low altitude, as apparently demonstrated in this video?

Kulverstukas,

With the photo of the back view of a wing in your post #351, you refer to it as the "sideboard wing". Excuse me asking, but do you mean the "larboard" (port) wing, i.e., the left...

Thanks again Kulverstukas,

Is that trailing-edge flap fully retracted? :confused:

Hola guadaMB,

Like lomapaseo I have never heard the expression "stall pose" in relation to an aircraft impact. I am thinking this may be used by personnel in your SAR work? Every profession has...

Hi Kulverstukas,
Did you mean to say that the Tu-104 was an ancestor of the Tu-134? But they seem to a casual observer like me to have little in common.

Thanks for the drawing of the Tu-154...
