if the door opens and releases the slide, why didn’t the slide trail back off the wing?
Pictures of the slide on the ground shows it folded up as would be when it’s stored in the aircraft,... could the slide have impacted the rear stab causing damage?
So many questions.
The door did not open in flight. This slide is stored behind an external panel of the aircraft.
Unlikely to hit the aircraft due to the downward airflow at the back of the wing.
