Silly Thread
Come on guys, he wasnt going that fast, wasn't near VMO. If a plane comes apart at slow speeds with a rudder imput, not talkin elevator here, then I think that plane might need to be flight tested. What about windshear, wake turbulence, flying over smoke stacks, through the tops of some small cell, all could impose way more loads then just shoving the rudder over......
Is it possible a pilot could yank and bank a plane apart, sure, but with the captain sitting right next to him? On take off?
Funny no one is talking about composites, inability to test them at the time, ect.
Food for thought....
