RE: Kingcobra crash at Biggin Hill last year
Many thanks for the responses to my initial question.
In response to the person who said that I was suggesting the aircraft was deliberately made to spin…
“It is difficult to understand why the pilot, who was experienced and practised in the display environment, continued with his display after experiencing a departure from controlled flight during one of the manoeuvres. If there was a problem with the performance or handling of the aircraft then it seems unlikely that he would have continued the display without reviewing the problem”
“The flight control inputs at the top of the final manoeuvre, in particular the rudder, were not consistent with a display manoeuvre or a recovery action. In fact, they were similar to the control positions used to effect deliberate entry into a spin and the aircraft entered an incipient spin.”
That is from the AAIB report. Are they not suggesting that? Perhaps I’m reading too much into the report??
I would also like to broaden my original question by asking;
“Is it wrong to debate topics such as this?”
Don’t wish to be offensive, just curious.
