Could stall buffet be mistaken for turbulence associated with a CB?
If so, how long would it take an aircrew to realize "Hey, this is a stall, not heavy turbulence" and begin to initiate corrective action?
could a crew mistake a stall for turbulence.
There was a briefing given to the Royal Aero Society by Boeing Chief Test Pilot Capt. Frank Santoni regarding progress in certification programs for Boeing 748 and 787.
It is an hour long briefing and for you television addicts-contains no video
but some very interesting audio. Among the topics discussed was stall testing of these aircraft. I have not re-listened to the briefing, but I recall the description of testing the stall characteristics of these aircraft. From my recollection, he described stall behavior of these aircraft as a low frequency vibration with increasing motion on the flight deck until it reached the point that was mandatory that the crew be strapped in or else they would be thrown from their seats. This type behavior would likely be also relevant to the A332.
