HOL Report
Chinook 240
I have a copy of part of Mr Cable's evidence. Not sure about posting large parts of an HOL report on the site so here is where I obtained my information:
Quote:
In laymans terms what the simulation demonstrated was that, in order to have created the conditions found by Mr Cable in the course of his examination of the wreckage of the aircraft and the site of its initial impact, the aircraft would have had to have been climbing at 150 knots airspeed and a rate of 1,000 feet per minute when control inputs postulated were made 2.9 seconds before the initial impact. And the result of these control inputs was to bring about a cyclic flare over a distance of 812 feet during which the aircraft's nose pitched up to the 31 degrees from the horizontal, its climb increased to 20 degrees above the horizontal, it gained 120 feet in height and its airspeed dropped from 150 to 135 knots.
That is where my 150 IAS comes from. I should have said "shortly before impact."
