ajnl Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This happened yesterday, it is a cargo plane with 7 people on board and some vehicles. All of them died... I don't know what happened for sure, but it looks like the cargo shifted which caused the c.g. to move too far aft. The tail would have been way too heavy for the pilot to correct. This pitch up would have caused the wings to stall and the aircraft to drop out of that sky like it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwarren Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looks to me like the cargo was either loaded wrong or shifted causing the center of gravity to be aft (or tail heavy) leading to a stall. Looks like he was torn between dropping the nose for speed and banking for a split S to get lift. Never enough Oh Shit handles in that situation.

Well if it did make the tail too heavy (shifting the c.g to the aft), it would be impossible to drop the nose. Also at that altitude it would be nearly impossible to save the plane.

PiNoY Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 if plane jammed the ground sideways, it could have hit and blow that moving truck at same time..., pilot somehow saved the truck. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying still statistically the safest way to travel long distances. Even after engine fires/shutdowns, 1 crash (unintentional gear up landing) in a Cessna 421 and 1 crash (hard landing autorotation on engine failure that broke the skids) in a Bell 407, I still flew for many years afterwards with no anxiety. Take the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
