Hi all
I was onboard a red-tailed Fokker 100 the other week heading to Europe, and as I was sat over the wing and the aircraft had a strong shadow on the wing, I noticed something I hadn't noticed before when sitting further back. In the cruise, the aircraft was gently rolling from side. Not by much, maybe only a couple of degrees, and it wasn't noticeable when not looking at the wing, but was certainly noticeable when you could see the shadow moving up and down the wing.
Do any Fokker drivers or engineers know if this is normal for these aircraft, or whether it was due to wind conditions on this particular day?
Cheers
