Experiencing Flutter
Read something interesting on flutter in a safety article.
"Another area of concern is flutter, which can happen to an airplane flying too fast. The only solution is 'don't panic. Well, panic. But do it slowly. You can fly an aircraft beyond the flutter limits and recover. The last thing you want to do is jerk the controls. Panic slowly and smoothly. Don't extend the speed brakes.'"
Anybody else have advice or experience? Why not speed brakes?
I remember once as a passenger on a 727 while deviating around thunderstorms in cruise hearing some sort of wind noises and then a vibration. More than once over a period of perhaps 30 seconds, I saw the aileron vibrating rapidly for about a 3 second period. I belive it was the inboard aileron but I'm not 100% sure anymore.
