Salute!

Besides the air data problems on previous flight, and possibly on the accident flight, I would like to re-visit the stabilizer. Just a fast mover guy here, but the sad story is worth understanding. Never know when a pilot here might see something early enough to take action, jez saying.....

Looking at thelfight path plot we have from a previous post, the end seems to happen very quickly, and not a "gradual" loss of control due to PIO chasing the altitude, attitude and speed.

So for you Boeing folks, is there a jackscrew stab trim as we had on the Alaska crash? A squak previously described unusual stab trim. If the stab "came loose" suddenly, I do not see any recovery possible. As Bach said, all crashes are the result of "loss of control". Plane comes apart, big part fails, new FBW laws act up, crew screws up, etc.

Gums asks....
