Me too, as apparently those "old turks" or turkeys such as 411a have no inclination to learn the correct spelling of 'inclination'. Apparently some people never learn, blah blah blah.....

Oh, by the way, PanAm's history with rudder overcontrol and pylon failure isn't too grand either....

We're not all young turks here, mate, and my offer to challenge you to a flight test of any kind, independently examined, still stands.....

Cheers,
Back to blocking out 411a in PPRUNE, ahhhh, bliss.....

Back to topic, these guys were bloody lucky, and so were the folks landing behind them not to trample wreckage. For those unfamiliar, the right seat of the older 80's has particularly poor positional info if you are cross-referencing the GPS cross-track error, etc. This still doesn't explain why a CATIIIa was not briefed and flown in these conditions, but I'm sure 'all in good time'....

Bottom line: unstable - throw it away
