The airport owner (and CASA, if implicated) will argue that the buildings had no influence on the outcome of the King Air crash. In this particular case they would be right, but it was sheer luck...

Pinky, I think that the old B200 simulator is probably worse than the real aeroplane in that it is very sensitive to pitch control. More than two degrees either way and a positive climb speed can't...

They are quite different. In the case of Tenerife the KLM pilots could not see anything and the runway was occupied. In the Concorde accident they were visual, and the aircraft from which the photo...

No one has suggested that a take-off should be aborted above V1 for a simple failure or fire warning! Doing so on a simulator detail could be career limiting, and rightly so.
But, consider the...

Except it is unlikely he would have been fiddling with the gear or the J hook as he rotated, yet that is when the yaw commenced.
I don't discount that power lever migration could have contributed to...

Sheppey, both reasons you heard for this practice do sound like a load of old bollocks. Back in the day when this became SOP it is unlikely that psychology had found its way into the airline world....

601 you are, of course technically correct. I did consider writing ‘Vr’ instead of ‘V1’ but then I thought some smartarse would tell me that the usual practice is to remove hand from throttles at V1....

If yaw to the left occurred simultaneous with initiation of gear retraction, it could support the power lever migration theory.
However, the aircraft was veering left from the moment it became...

Good point. But if the gear was not selected up, it is even less likely that his hand would have been off the power levers, no? Of all the speculative causes, only one thing is certain - rudder trim...

The friction would have to be very loose for the lever to run back as quickly as it did in the video. Also the horn would be hard to ignore. Not saying impossible, merely improbable given the crash...

While I would not totally discount the power lever migration theory, I find it hard to believe experienced pilots would get sucked in by it. Most light aircraft drivers keep one hand on the throttles...

The only time the trims are moved all the way to the stops in any aeroplane I fly is every first flight of the day. By doing that, one gets a feel for the system and hopefully would notice a change...

Is checking flight controls for 'full and free movement' not a legal pilot pre-flight responsibility? Buried somewhere in the CAR or CAO or Act of every jurisdiction I ever flew in, this one is up...

Thanks for the reference JT. Those forces seem huge, but I assume that is the force applied at the control surface, not the load on the pilot's leg? I doubt too many could bench press 300 lb with...

I reckon over 50 years of actually flying multis and doing a bit of heavy turbo prop certification work might trump 30 years of fixing them when it comes to HANDLING characteristics. Plus, some...

For Con de Rod’s edification. A spurious rudder boost is not a big deal. It CAN be overpowered by a 90 lb weakling. It was only mandated by the FAA because test results showed B200 rudder forces when...

Leady, Leafy and Gerry you are morons. People died in this prang and you reduce a serious discussion to utter tripe in your most recent posts. Please delete and grow up.
