Turned into DISASTER in seconds! | Royal Air Freight 988

[@DavidReed-sv9rb]

Back in 1989 I was flying a Cessna 402C for PBA in New Bedford MA. Late one night, with nine state construction workers onboard, we flew into New Bedford from Martha’s Vineyard in fog and rain. When I selected full flaps, there was a loud bang and the plane began rolling left, despite putting full right aileron in. What had happened was that the flap cable broke, so the left flap went full up while the right flap went to full down. The first thing I did was undo what I had just done- I put the flap handle up. The right flap began retracting, the roll stopped around 60 degrees and became normal when both flaps were finally retracted. Still in the clouds, I got back over on the localizer and landed flaps up. One of the closest times I came to buying it.

[@akiko009]

I've seen ice build up from nothing to an inch in-between glances. Scary. Fortunately the anti-ice magic did its thing, but I had my excuse to call out moderate icing to ATC for the first and only time in my life (so far). That level of icing was not forecast. Anyhow, it reminded me to be even more careful about planning flights in icing conditions.

[@CuriousPilot90]

Interesting, and good to report for other aircraft in the area. I had a similar incident, we were aware of the potential for icing but it was on in an instant. We climbed through it to clearer air but still uncomfortable.

[@stevegregory2867]

Perhaps if they had left anti icing on things might have been different and managed to land.

[@CuriousPilot90]

I think that is one of the main issues here. If ice was the issue, this should have helped.

[@stanislavkostarnov2157]

@@CuriousPilot90 I'll be honest, I do not understand why they required the performance on that stage of the flight... did they need it to be able to set up a one click TOGA on the autopilot??? I mean, with standard flaps, they should have been at very low thrust settings during those landing maneuvers.... even if they did need some thrust to do the circling part.

[@bwalker4194]

I think that would quality as moderate to severe in my book.

[@elskid206]

I'm no pilot. So I don't have a voice. But, as a man who's been in stressful situations, I have to agree with you. Clearly the flaps initiated the problem. I could not believe that they didn't undo the flaps immediately. Take it off; if the plane leveled out, put it back on. If the plane has a problem again, now you have a problem, and you KNOW what it is.

[@nick39]

I was based in ORD during this time frame. We were flying to Lacrosse,WI. The cloud layer was 1000’ up to FL230. We were in light to moderate icing. We had a bleed 1 (engine1) overtemp. This was a triple chime red alert emergency. We performed the QRH procedure which basically instructed us to isolate the bleed and land at the nearest airport. Engine 2 bleed is now carrying the entire weight of the anti-ice requirements. Within a matter of minutes… it became overloaded… another triple chime red alert emergency. We had a jumpseater (who lived in Lacrosse) suggest we should continue to our original destination. I told him to be quiet with that kind of ridiculous advice. We diverted to Madison which was 15 miles north of us. After declaring the emergency and landing, we did a post flight walk around. I was floored when I saw the amount of ice accumulation on the wings, tail, fuselage but especially the engine inlets!!! The first engine to lose bleed air was almost completely covered over! There was probably a 2’ diameter opening left! We were minutes away from that engine flaming out! For you new aviators: have a healthy respect for icing, windshear/ down drafts and thunderstorms!

[@35mmShowdown]

My father used to fly air-ambulance in the 70’s- took off O’hare once on a particularly cold and icy day, and discovered after level off for cruise that icing had frozen their elevator trim tabs; he was forced to fly manually, and with significant yoke forces, but since they were headed south the Captain monitoring the flight was confident the icing would clear soon enough on its own. Those trim tabs were still frozen when they touched down in Miami, in April. Altitude and ice can form one hell of a bond…

I don't see ice causing the flaps to "stick". They're hydraulically driven to overcome EXTREME aerodynamic forces of the plane as they extend, so thinking that ice made them not work isn't very plausible.

[@user-kb8gh5jv9t]

@@XRPcop , in a “fixed horizontal stabilizer” aircraft, use of flaps after moderate or severe ice encounter and if there is any doubt about how clear the tail is from ice, should be limited to the absolute minimum and a significantly higher speed should be selected because putting in flaps will run the risk of a Tail plane stall which is extremely difficult to recover from since its opposite from a wing stall and its not the first reaction Pilots have when they think they are stalled!!!

[@XRPcop]

@user-kb8gh5jv9t That's not my argument. I'm saying it's doubtful the flaps were "frozen stuck", as speculated in the video.

[@melynn66]

I've actually had flaps freeze on me in a Beechjet 400XP once. They are electrically actuated and hydraulic operated. We diverted for maintenance to a nearby airport that worked on them and ended up getting some things replaced.

Imagine it as a metal door, take the entire door and weld it to the frame, then your arm pushes the door normally doesn't stand a chance opening that same door...

[@robertholliday6391]

The second they applied full flaps I thought WHY?. The second they turned off bleed air, I thought WHY? I fly gliders and C172. I learned not to use the flaps with icing accumulation. I would certainly not turn off bleed air anti icing. They were high enough. WHY would they need more power? They were at a good altitude.

[@regionalflyer]

As someone who has been flying for 25 years, ice is subsequent only to severe flight control malfunctions (Alaska 261), or an uncontained fire in terms of seriousness... Well, it's first if you're an ATR pilot. But my point still stands.

[@srb1855]

The sequence of events described here reminds me of the ATR crashes due to icing. In those cases the autopilot disengaged suddenly with the flaps extended and then the aircraft rolled uncontrollably until it finally crashed.

[@dayniasykora7213]

I was thinking the same thing - sounds like an ATR type incident. It has a Roselawn feel.

[@randall39]

Yes. The same type of scenario. I can’t imagine how scary it must be to suddenly not have control over your plane, and then to know you’re going down. Chilling 😮😢

[@josephalberta1145]

We were flying a Bellanca Viking out of an Islands grass strip. Got up over the trees and one of the flap cables snapped causing the spring to pull it up to the fully retracted position. We raised the other flap right away but that kind of wakes you up at low altitude.

[@stanislavkostarnov2157]

very often, in severe icing, often causes turbulence which will often cause one the spoilers to be forced upwards, this is the result of vortices formed by air destabilizing over the wing creating massive suction in a small area... also, such a destabilization will often be caused by a rapid change in the angle of attack (which always happens when you lower the flaps) explaining the sequence starting the event... a very classic and known pattern

[@margarita8442]

pilot error= ice is not nice

[@realvanman1]

We had the advantage of knowing what was going to happen ahead of time, but (as a non-pilot) I freaked out when they turned off deicing having just descended through and observed icing. When the control issues happen in these incidents (again, as a non-pilot) my first reaction is to immediately return the settings to the last position before the issue. So return to level flight and return flaps to the previous settings. Declare an emergency and evaluate the situation.

[@flemmingstelling8079]

Good video - left over ice on tailplane could also affect it. Perhaps a quick withdrawal of flaps back to earlier position. could have had positive outcome as it only began once the flap handle was moved.

[@peterj5751]

It’s isn’t without precedent for a build up of ice to be controllable until the flaps are extended, thus changing the airflow. It seems the most likely explanation. The nasty thing about ice is that it isn’t there any more when investigators turn up on the scene. In any event, a tragic outcome.

[@waynemeredith4287]

To my thinking if I do something like going to full flaps and the plane immediately starts doing something it shouldn’t, I would bring the flaps back up to where they were. Do a go around and work the problem.

[@chipsawdust5816]

Armchairing it here like anyone else, the problem started when flaps 40 was called. First thing, undo what you just did, since it was flying OK before. Go back to flaps 20. Might not have resolved the issue but that's what came to my mind initially. They went into fuel imbalance and autopilot but those were eliminated prior to the crash.

[@safa4786]

Graphics are awesome..where do you get them from!?

[@PrestonVanLoon]

When the flaps were extended to full down, they changed the airflow on the (iced) empennage which caused a tail stall. Without an effective elevator, they had very little control remaining.

[@GeorgeSemel]

If you have the icing equipment on, leave it on. Also, regarding flaps, please follow the flight manual. In the aircraft I flew, I left them up and carried more power down to the landing. Icing is a killer; it's better not to hang around in it and go elsewhere. It's very easy to dig a hole you can't get out of. The Great Lakes region is notorious for icing.

[@bf3and4highlights83]

So here is what I have learned about flying from these vids. 1: Never ever ever fly when there is/was/will be bad weather. Never try to beat it or wait for it to leave. If it ain't perfect, don't go up. 2: Figure out all fuel requirements then throw them out and fill the tanks to the max. Maybe even throw a small jerry can in the back. 3: Never ever for any reason or under any type of circumstance fly with your entire family.

[@lbowsk]

1. Planes have been successfully flying in bad weather for well over 50 yrs. Imagine if the airlines just didn’t op in “bad weather”. 2. A jerry can. That's about ten seconds of fuel. And who's going to add it to what tank, exactly?

[@josieann5031]

This is not a car we're talking about. The suggestion of a jerry can is ridiculous.

[@AviationNut]

If you would wait for perfect weather than it would take you a week or 2 just to fly across the USA. If you fill the tanks full for a short flight than the weight of that fuel alone would make the aircraft much heavier and cause to burn a lot more fuel, that's why all airlines in the world only take enough fuel to get them to the destination plus diversion fuel to the next nearest airport just in case they can't land at the original destination airport plus 40 min emergency fuel. What exactly would a Jerry can of fuel do for you?. Do you expect someone to climb out onto the wing in flight and add the fuel?. Aircraft can not simply pull over and stop in the air to add fuel, it's not a car. Luckily you're not a pilot.

[@markjackson-h5j]

There indeed may have been an issue with the flaps. However, I consider the more likely cause of the accident was the change in aerodynamic characteristics following flap deployment with ice on the airframe. With significant ice build up, the usual advice I believe, is to decouple the autopilot and land flaps up. As always, great vid.

[@TC.C]

Is it that hard for plane manufacturers to have the anti ice come on and off automatically? Thanks for the video

[@fitzpatrickgf]

This is not accurate! There was an issue with the aircraft the day before the accident that caused them to return to Pontiac! Aircraft were not pressurized due to the age and cost of preventive maintenance. I flew with the Captain when he was a flight instructor at Jackson Community College in Jackson, Michigan. He had a short fuse with my current instructor after completing a cross check flight with me, escalating it into a shouting match! He was a bold and risky pilot, showing off in the Cutlass RG with another student while doing a departure out of KJXN, retracting the gear while still in ground effect and pulling up at the very end of the runway. I ran into him later at Royal Air in 2007-08 when I was on my 2nd day learning to be a dispatcher there at their operations. He said that I should get my multi-engine and ride along in the right seat to build some time. I was Commercial Instrument Rated Single-Engine Land and CFI, but my flying career was placed on the back burner due to other life priorities. I was not comfortable with the operations at Royal Air and quit after my 3rd day. The training dispatcher was a real jerk and the other pilots were coming in griping about reviewing the maintenance logs to see if equipment was fixed and the aircraft were airworthy. I had a really bad vibe and glad I got out of there. I was not surprised when I heard about the accident. I helped manage a small airport in the same area and I was sick and tired of all the egoistic brats who managed to slide through a rich life without a care or real passion for flying, but they were the risk takers, thinking they were untouchable and nothing could stop them, yet those who were truly safety conscious and had a passion to fly were limited with funds to get through a full program without going broke. I could write a book on my experiences, and still to this day, I will never understand the aviation community, which my impressions as a kid were totally different from what I witnessed being in it! It still is a big risk flying with a PIC who takes risks, short cuts while flying by the seat of his pants.

[@fitzpatrickgf]

@@RobertGreiner-os7um Triggered Robby Boy??? I'm sure you roll with the punches of inaccurate information all the time. There are Old Pilots and there are Bold Pilots, but there are never Old-Bold Pilots now are there???? Two sides to every story and perhaps you can do your own investigation on individual pilots if you wish. I only flew with safe instructors and if there were ever any unsafe instructors in the school I was attending, I didn't wait until an incident or accident occurred, I said something immediately to the flight director! Yes, they would be pissed off, triggered and try to turn other instructors against me, but they would eventually be heading out the exit when they knew I didn't care and kept showing up standing my ground. That is our duty as pilots to keep the skies safe and why so many pilots older pilots are taking a break or retiring early from the airlines because they are not going to be forced into working in a DEI environment because an airline prefers any pilot regardless sitting in any seat as long as they are a pilot sitting in the seat. That is why they are highly insured! They just write it off and merge with another airline to forget its past record, but the shareholders still profit. There is so much you need to learn in the aviation field before you start calling out the complainers Robert! At least wise pilots like myself can walk away without all the sarcasm and overhead the airlines are facing these days. We can go fly our own planes privately, while crazy people take risks dealing with rude customers and unexperienced pilots. The luxury of real flying has since vanished and it's no different then taking a Greyhound Bus from Chicago to New York City, which I'm sure you are one of those that do often! 😁

[@jamesgraham6122]

It doesn't require a 'failure of the system' to create a control issue with icing. When in icing conditions we're well aware that any change in the aircraft configuration can result in disrupted airflow over the empennage, (tail area),, It's in our minds.. or should be, to be aware that a control issue could arise when selecting flap and we should therefore be ready to revert to the previous flap setting at the first indication of a problem.. It's simply that when selecting a different flap setting, airflow is redirected and acting on a different area of the control surfaces which may be suffering from ice accretion, it's not uncommon.

At 12 or so minutes in you state that increasing power can lead to a stall. If an aircraft is not already in a stall condition, increasing power will not lead to a stall. Simply put, you were plain wrong.

[@daviddavidson2357]

Not a conspiracy theory at all, Occam's razor. Definitely a frozen control surface. Planes don't just roll over right after activating the flaps unless there's a problem there, or there is significant pilot error, the latter of which was not recorded. Depending on how the plane broke up, or how over-stressed the parts were, the ice could have easily broken away either as the wings flexed in such a high g manoeuvre as a result of flap/spoileron asymmetry, or, if the hydraulic accumulator to the flaps/spoileron was still attached to the surfaces post crash, there would still be enough pressure in the system to activate them. This was only 5 years ago too, it took quite a while for the NTSB to take rudder hardover into consideration IIRC and the human cost was much higher in those incidents. Seems the NTSB may be missing the forest for the trees here.
