We have seen three B737 fly into the ground/water at steep angles in recent years, and there appears to be a common thread.
- All were significantly out of trim nose down,
- All experienced zero g or negative g during the pitch over
We are not seeing a repeat of earlier accidents where the trim motors couldn't generate sufficient torque to overcome the stabiliser loads?
