One has to wonder how much of a random coincidence it is that almost every time if not every time the triggers have been activated in the air leading to an accident, it just happened to be when the pilot really wanted to go down or slow down.
Is this a common bush technique which works well in other turboprops (Twin Otter) but not so well in a Dash 8 ?
I am just wondering if the captain was using the "crack it into Beta" technique as it always worked so well in other types (if it ever did).
Has anyone heard of pilots successfully using this technique on another aircraft type (or even used the technique themself) ?
