We were all made aware of the TPI runaway problems after this crash. If memory serves at this range a TPI isolate switch was hastily installed on the centre consol. On every sim session thereafter one would trim forward as the flaps came up with one hand on the trim switches and the other on the isolate switch. It got Alan Pringle very upset when he couldn't catch you out!
