Meteor Accident Stats
I have not checked back over the full Thread but there is of course the 'phantom dive' to which the T7 was particularly prone.
Can't remember the full majesty of the problem but basically if the airbrakes are out when the undercarriage is cycled, the legs moving in an asymmetric sequence disturbs the airflow and a stall results. Someone will put me right on this.
I did get it from a pilot's own lips that he and most of his mates never practiced asymmetrics because of the dangers. They would do it dual with an instructor and then fudge it when solo by simply using differential power. He said that when subsequently being checked, the trappers often fudged it too!!!
Of course the Javelin is said to be the only aircraft which it was specifically forbidden to spin.
