But we would only know for sure when the FDR, CVR and trajectory data are published with the final report from the competent authorities.
I have only ever flown jets with under wing mounted engines. My question is, how significant is the adverse yaw on the MD82. I found it strange that the left engine failed, yet the A/C went off to the right of the runway. Is it possible to miss identify a failed engine and input the incorrect contol? (its been done before).
