Island Flyer
......another tough guy shooting his mouth off without grasping the true picture! Your input has been thoroughly educational, probably for other macho Pilots.
Well for us weeklings the salient point of this incident is the power lever design and man/machine interface during severe turbulence. Specifically under negative G people will hook on to things for grip, unfortunately in this case the triggers. I've seen this happen, beta warning activated, I called it plus the type we were in wouldn't allow it in flight.....still a touching cloth moment!
Point is when hands and feet are flying through the air and you are trying to get your hands on the controls finess becomes near impossible 'as implied in the report'.
OK my pet peeve dealt with, 'macho pilots rubbishing fellow pilots'..... There but for the grace of god go we all!
