Experienced UH-60A Stabilaor Failure in cruise flight Circa 1985
On a return flight from Hartford, Ct to the Sikorsky Plant we experienced a stabilator shut down. It was determined that a mis-compare of the dual actuators caused the shut down. At failure the aircraft pitched nose down following the trailing trailing edge down movement of approximately 3 to 4 degrees. We manually set the stabilator to 3 degrees trailing edge down and continued to the Sikorsky Plant where a relatively normal landing was made. The only anomaly being a little greater nose up attitude during approach and landing..
