Elevators issue. Flight control issue. PSA Airlines CRJ-900 returns back to Philadelphia. Real ATC

[@timduggan1461]

I laughed when that one controller said "tree" for "three". I think it's a military thing, but even after 50 years of (civilian) flying I decided to look it up. It dates back to 1956 and ICAO. Radio reception was often garbled and full of static, so to prevent misunderstanding some numbers pronunciation were altered. Three is "tree", four is "foh-wer", five is "fife" and of course nine is "niner". Today I hear "niner" and the occasional "fife", heck even I say it that way sometimes. Retired airline here, for context.

My QRH says slow to 200 or less. Autopilot off. Flaps 20 landing. Inspect ac for structural damage after landing. Select longest rwy with least crosswind.

I'm looking for singapore airlines heavy turbulence

[@kevinm6510]

I think these procedures are a bit much. Elevator issues, get the plane on the ground ASAP, too much screwing around with checklists. Recall what happened with the Alaska MD-80, had they landed immediately chances are everyone would have survived.

[@saxmanb777]

They still need to run some checklists. They weren’t screwing around and had control of the aircraft. Rushing makes the situation worse.
