There was either a machine error, or a man error. I believe the L-1011

one of the finest wide bodies ever built, from an engineering
perspective.
The NTSB did what they do and transfered liability back to the
Manufacturer.
That turned out to be an unfortunate decision when Eastern's management
threw the Airline across a craps table.

It was dumb-ass pilots, period. That auto-flight system was wonderful.
Then
again, you had to have a brain and understand the auto-flight modes,
including
how the trip from Command to CWS could burn you if you failed to mind the
store.

The only airplane that I loved flying more than the L-1011 was the Boeing
707-100 fan-powered, seriously over-powered dream machine.

The 707 was one fast airplane.

a poor diversion slaps boy.

Shows how much you know, Trav. A pilot cannot fight with the autopilot in
an L-1011. When you apply a specified force to the control wheel or
column,
the autopilot complies and drops out of command mode into control wheel
steering mode. I thought all aeronautical engineers knew that, especially
in light of the long-ago Eastern Airlines accident.

Then after you spill eveyone's drinks you find other employment.


clueless ****.


The Eastern airlines accident was traced to the pilot never engaging the
autopilot. The training failure that caused Eastern's pilots to cause such
a crash was their arrogant attatude toward flying and their tendancy to get
drunk and go play golf when they were supposed to be attending training at
the Manufacturer.

a weak-ass attempt by splaps boy to divert from from his frigging
ignorance.

tell us again how "average" and "total" are interchangable terms in
aircraft manuals tarver.
