Flydubai crash: Yoke push 'simultaneous' with stabiliser shift
Russian investigators have disclosed that a nose-down shift in the horizontal stabiliser on the ill-fated Flydubai Boeing 737-800 occurred as a push input was recorded on the crew control yoke. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Instrument rated and very qualified pilots are trained to fly the attitude indicator. It is primary. Why do you think it is in the center of all gauges? Pitch and bank. Then bring in the performance gauges--VV, airspeed. A go around is a standard training maneuver--even with an engine out. I've flown with many Canadian pilots and they train the same as we do in the lower 48. This crash has a lot of mysteries that we may never know.
OK gentlemen. It doesn't mater on a missed. Full power, pitch to go around and follow procedures. You can automate it or go manually. Better to begin manually and automate later. Get the airplane up and flying.
Meaning what ?.... Meaning you may need to read the article again , it was a little misleading !
Ya, I saw that too, a 'stabilizer shift' .... meaning what ?
Also, I cannot seem to fathom why anyone was inputting down elevator at this point :
"The jet had been climbing away with its engines at take-off setting after aborting its second approach to runway 22, at a height of 220m."
Everything seems normal for a climb out to whatever the assigned pattern altitude was , and I can pretty much guarantee it aint 220m....... Did the AC stall , or did they THINK it was stalling ?!

In retrospect, after a missed approach and two hours of holding because of bad weather without improvement, an alternate airport might have been a good idea.
The conclusion was spatial disorientation from sudden acceleration . It has to do with inner ears , when you accelarete very fast , you have the impression that you are climbing like crazy, thus a tendency to push on the nose which makes you go faster and feeling a "steeper climb" thus pushing some more. Just speculating, but a fairly light jet in a go-around IMC at night when crews are tired ...
