Default T-6 accident

Reading all the posts and going back to and looking at strip again a
number of times, it is obvious that he put in a lot of up elevator at
the 270 degrees of roll. This is what turned the bird 90 degrees hard
port.

He also kept aileron in and bird continued to roll to almost a wings
level attitude before it hit the ground flat and ............

What he was thinking and trying to do I don't know. If he had
continued his roll to wings level and then up elevator he probably
would have just cleared the ground. Or if he had rolled another 45
degrees past the 270 and then hard up elevator he would have made it
ok.

It's easy to make surmises after the fact but my comments 'could'
explain what we can see in strip.


Oh I don't doubt you, mostly I'm just thinking out loud.

I just don't see a dish out.

End posting on this thread.


Kay, thanks for that. I'm just trying to get my head back into the
frame.
I think it comes down to experience and training. When the **** hits the
fan your brain is reduced to something like reptilian proportians and
the only way you're going to do the right thing is if you have done it a
thousand times before and done it the right way and the wrong way..
