LH A320 reportedly within 0.5m of crashing at FRA !!
As reported in Flight International today a Lufthansa A320 almost crashed at FRA on 20 March because of faulty reverse wiring on the captain's sidestick!!
The aircraft hit turbulence shortly after lift-off resulting in a left wing-down. The captain responded with a slight right input but the plane banked further left. A further right input resulted in a 21 deg wing-down at which point the wing dipped to within 0.5m of the ground!
At this point the first officer, realising what was happening, switched his sidestick to priority and recovered the aircraft, preventing an almost certain crash.
I'm glad I wasn't a passenger on that flight!!!
