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. |

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. |
