Other Dash 8 following accident airplane
It would sure be interesting to know some more about the experience of the other Dash 8 that followed the accident airplane. Below are some questions that I would want to ask that crew:
1. How much of the approach was flown with autopilot vs. manually?
2. When during the flight were de-icing boots activated?
3. What flap setting was used for the landing?
4. If Flaps 15 was selected, when? Was the autopilot engaged at that point? Was there anything remarkable about the handling when the final flap setting was selected?
5. What was the aircraft weight during approach and what speeds were flown at the various flap settings used?
6. How did the flight path (track and altitude) compare between these two airplanes during their flights?
Always looking for more info.
