Dear all,
If you ever encounter a jammed elevator during the take off roll what would you do?
you are PF and PM calls for rotation.No chance as the elevator is blocked , you give the PM controls and ask him to rotate but without success...
This situation was given to me for the first time in a training Sim..
As it was not a balance field i rejected about 2 secs passed V1 and managed to take aircraft to a full stop with remaining runway.
My question is , wouldnt it be safer to overrun the runway at low speed than trying to manage such a problem at low speed and low altitude having just the stabilizer trim and very limited elevator control.
Shoot!!!
