Rudder trim !?

Particularly if it involves Boeing or another American company in a negative way or Airbus in a positive way.

I avoid it like a plague for said reason...

Vering off-topic somewhat, but could an error of this sort have potentially played a roll in the Air France Flight 447 crash off Brazil?

Door lock switch 3 position (maintained) lever with side guard.

Rudder switch, rotary, self centered with quick push button reset.

And it was not Japanese pilots...

Or this?

Short answer: nope.

Long answer: this is a very complex accident with a lot of factors playing a role.... which would take me way too much time to write down. Basically it's a "what the hell is it doing now" kind of crash. 5 seconds of googling around should net you the interim report from the BEA, I suggest you get your read on.

ok....

so the pilot fucks up and uses the wrong button/knot/rotor/whatever to do something, and the plane starts rolling/turning/fucking up.

bottom line... the pilot (co-pilot) fucked up and needs to go back to flight school for being such a retard.

sorta like driving a manual trans. car and instead of hitting the clutch, you hit the brake.... dumb mistake.

but what i cant understand is... why the fuck is damn_name and coligny taking the piss out of each other?

co-pilot fucks up by doing the wrong thing... news gets posted on FG... and there are hella pictures of the cockpit... WTF

the guy fucked up... discussions were sort of like the college girl train gone cry wolf case in the other thread...

hard to grasp on monday morning...

any one down for a cup of coffee?

Th3 problem come from the fact that I was pissed by the way it was reported by Mainichi (blame th3 evil knob) and the pattern similarity with the way fukushima news are reported.

Then our usual knowz it all, not searching to understand what I meant just went for the interpretation allowing him to vomit as much as possible on the thread which is assuming without any doubt that I was wrongly stating that rudder action could not roll the plane. And using this miss interpretation to convey his usual ad hominems and continuous "trust me, I'm th3 sh1t" unbacked statements.


(My first RC plane only had throttle and rudder control 2channel radio because I was way too broke for a 4ch one. And after a bit of training you could barrel roll it without crashing while more or less keeping control, so yeah... I know what rudder can do... on more time: when you push the rudder or mistrim it, the plane first start a flat turn, the wing outside the turn go faster than the one inside, therefore generate more lift, starting a barrel roll)

fuckedshima in summery... something bad happened but lets take it slowly and let the FG release a bunch of info that some Japanese guy will start translating an tweeting in japan so we can have more time to make some stuff up...

Maybe if we just move stuff around the problem will go away...

Why are all those people marching in the street... its a parade! yay! this shows how smart the Japanese people are! What about the politicians? They sit back and relax until one of them comes up with a good idea... Wait... they are just going to move stuff around and try to implement a pension cut on the drones rather than salary cut the executives... OK! Work is done... lets go back to sitting around...
