Surprised this hasn't gotten more mention seeing as it's another airliner having a similar issue to the MAX: https://onemileatatime.com/american-eagle-jet-loses-control/

Runaway trim is a thing that can happen. That’s why it’s in the emergency checklist after all! Until the cause is found here you can’t say it’s like the max.

How does runaway trim typically happen? I assume autopilot being too aggressive?

I assume something getting stuck usually.

Or, in the case of these poor pilots the trim controls had been installed backwards: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/trim-rigging-at-fault-in-colgan-1900d-crash-187372/

quote:

The fatal flight was the first after maintenance had been carried out on the aircraft. Causal factors cited by the NTSB include: a short-cut in working practices by the mechanics who were replacing the forward elevator trim cable; ambiguity in a trim control system diagram in the airliner maintenance manual (AMM) ; the crew's failure to note in the maintenance log before take-off the nature of the work that had just been carried out; and their omission of the "first flight of the day" checklist, which includes an elevator trim check that would have revealed the error.

When airplanes are going fast on a runway its the rudder that mainly controls direction and that isn't affected by ice/snow. However if you were to for some reason lose traction and had reduced rudder authority for whatever reason something like that can happen. A delta MD-88 slid off a runway at LGA a few years ago on a snow covered runway. In that case the lack of rudder authority was due to excessive reverse thrust being applied.

The Mote in God's Eye

I was researching my next post, and I became aware one of the books I was using was older than I thought when it referred to the R100 as current (so 1929-1930)

I've also become aware the last chapter on transatlantic flight is a "what next" chapter with drawings of mid-ocean airfields being built on oil rig type structures

Looks like it was an ERJ 145, so I'm wondering if it could be the same reason due to the placement of the engines.

To quote an airline pilot from the A/T thread:

KodiakRS posted:

Maybe. From what I remember though the md80 is overly susceptible to it, even more than other t-tail aft mounted engine aircraft. Something about having overly strong reversers for powerbacks. Also on closer inspection the spoilers were deployed but it's hard to see, watch the bottom right corner of the video and you can see them retract right as the aircraft starts to spin. On a semi-related note I was trying to look up if the 145 has a history of rudder blanking and I came across a very :stonk: NTSB report: https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20001211X09555&ntsbno=FTW98MA126&akey=1


ORD has gotten in trouble with the FAA over this before: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2018/3/9/18362463/despite-o-hare-safety-boasts-faa-slammed-city-s-handling-of-winter-operations It's behind a paywall but this quote sums it up: "The federal agency also determined that the aviation department didn’t follow its own federally approved snow-response plan, instead “allowing aircraft to continue to use Runway 10L/28R for arrivals and departures when pilot reports indicated conditions were deteriorating.”

air jerry has like literally hundreds of videos and nearly 10,000 subscribers for some baffling reason so i can't find the one i'm looking for at the moment, but

can someone post the one where he's completely socked in on approach, ignores his GPWS calling "minimums," and pops out of the clouds at like 150' AGL three wingspans off the left side of the runway in a 30 degree bank and still wrestles it to the ground with a passenger on board

The following is actually pretty explicable. He has a fancy plane, posts lots of videos of him doing really dumb stuff and gets extremely not mad in the comments of videos.

r/flying has been watching him for a while, there was a post a while ago that summarized all the dumb things hes done and posted but I can't find it at the moment.

I'm subscribed to him for the lols.

He's going to crash, not if but when. And if he manages to take out a few innocent bystanders when he does and the news outlets get wind of how long this behavior has been going on and how long people have been trying to get the FAA to ground him, it'll be a poo poo show.
