Title: A real life dead-stick Post by: anwar on July 15, 2009, 01:48:13 PM http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8150639.stm :o Title: Re: A real life dead-stick Post by: izmile on July 15, 2009, 02:34:47 PM Doesn't look like a dead stick. May be the pilot is too late to recover from that spin. Same happens in model aircrafts too.
Title: Re: A real life dead-stick Post by: anwar on July 15, 2009, 02:38:42 PM The smoke pattern suggested at least some sputtering on the power system. That may have caused the inability to gain enough altitude.
Title: Re: A real life dead-stick Post by: izmile on July 15, 2009, 03:09:14 PM I think the smoke is from the smoke system (for effects) and not the engine exhaust. It seems the pilot is kind of confused at the last moment as he desperately tried to pull up on the stick. Inertia of the airplane finally won against the control surfaces.
Title: Re: A real life dead-stick Post by: anwar on July 15, 2009, 03:28:35 PM If he was messing with the smoke system instead of flying the plane, not sure what to say ???

Title: Re: A real life dead-stick Post by: anwar on May 02, 2011, 05:51:39 PM I would recommend answering the above question on PM, unless it is a non-combat aircraft ;)
