“They didn’t seem to know the trim was moving down,” the third source said. “They thought only about airspeed and altitude. That was the only thing they talked about.”
...
And that’s why they crashed. All they had to do was disable the automatic trim.
It’s called Pilot 101. “Fly the Airplane!” You don’t need a manual to know to disconnect the stab trim.
My sentiments as well. Again, what am I missing here?
How much muscle power does it take to pull back the yoke if the trim tab is set to nose down? Seems to me my arms would NEVER get tired.
They also had to know what some geek called the problem while writing the manual in his mama's basement in his underwear. You have to know what to "look up", in order to find it. It's even worse if it's not in your native language.
