It's just usual
post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy abundant around here. These recommendation have nothing to do with Tatarstan crash but rather with Norshuttle incident at Kittila, almost a year ago. FDR has pretty much ruled out the flight controls problems. Well, at least that's the official version, conspiracy theorists are free to offer their unbridled expertise on how the FDR sucks, investigation authorities are corrupt and it's normal that such things happen in unenlightened Russia.
Believe it or not, but not all DME xmitters are fixed.
Of course, TACANs on aircraft carriers do move and TACAN installation is much smaller than VOR/DME so it can be truck mounted but no intelligent air force uses frequencies that overlap with civilian NAVs - after all, their signal would suffer too.
Is this life imitating art, said art in turn imitating life? Ernie Gann's "Band Of Brothers" describes such a scene, and it in turn was inspired by a real 727 accident.
It's fiction as long as someone doesn't claim it happened for real. Then it's bovine excrement.
You are. There was neither push to stop the nose rising while no one was in control until 25° up nor pull to get out of the dive afterwards.
I wonder if the final accident report will concentrate solely on the execution of the G/A, the subsequent mis-handling and the following on further mis-handling into the fatal dive.
Six days ago there were already recommendations out that concentrated on far more than solely GA. No need to wonder.
It may be possible they were not strapped in and couldn't reach the controls after it went nose over
It were their actions on yoke that brought the nose over so speculation about their inability to reach controls is way off target.
