On another current thread, the tragic crash of an airliner is under discussion. The aircraft came to grief according to the authority, because an aileron cable “separated”. Yet the aircraft in question was notorious for having “sloppy” aileron inputs, due to untensioned or temp expanded cabling. The official conclusion ignores many areas of study, one of which is the “lack of tension” left in the system post Maintenance. Arguably the loose control cables could have caused the crash, but were ignored in favor of blaming mechanics. No proof of cable separation was found, the conclusion is pure conjecture.
