Dozy
I get that. But hydraulics
haven't failed. They have been
disabled (by design? A lack of alternate actuation?). With APU, Alternators and or Battery or even RAT, and hydraulics, why throw away the standard, (elevators), to struggle along like Al Haynes had to? (just a metaphor, I suggest it is not the same thing, exactly).
Rare or no, why not go for
non-existent?
I sense a high level of agreement on the potential for THS TRIM WHEEL as the ignored resource, here. THS is large, powerful, and slow moving, not my first choice in Turbulent air, where TRIM (traditional) is not a primary resource in a conventional a/c recovery?
Powerful TRIM TABS as a default no/fail?
aside. Please don't think I am suggesting bellcranks, tensioned cables, and bellows to replace ECFS.
