Single Source

I've been going through the AIBN accident investigation report and adding references where it confirms the writing, which previously is based mainly on the TV documentary (which seems to be a bit dramatized. E.g. in the "Mayday" documentation is indicated that the APU operation was first found through analysis of the unit, whereas that was indicated already in Fligh Log, according to AIBN).

A bit more further work of verification could be needed, then the "Single Source" note can be removed in my view. -- Wikimalte (talk) 08:56, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FAA parts

Untitled

I'm pretty sure the FAA doesn't have a parts inventory. Was this perhaps referring to the parts inventories of aircraft service centres the FAA governs? msk (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC) This was what was said on the television program Mayday (I saw it on 09/11/11, discovery channel). I'm guessing that the FAA has a parts inventory for the planes that they fly (at least one was shown on the program). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.53.152.248 (talk) 06:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They can have a parts inventory from previous accidents. I presume that is what is indicated. --Jpfagerback (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Takeoff Regulations

Which governing body has jurisdiction enough to require two sources of internal power prior to takeoff? This should be stated. msk (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever governing body is/was in Norway. The program doesn't say exactly which one, but I'm sure that a Norwegian could help answer the question. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:45, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mayday Episode

Too bad the in-flight animation for this Allison 501 turboprop powered aircraft has the sound of piston engines. AMCKen (talk) 16:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yaw-Roll Coupling

If I read the article correctly, the sudden yaw caused by the rudder malfunction caused the plane to roll uncontrollably to the left. But I thought yaw-roll coupling only happened on swept-wing aircraft, not straight-wing planes like the Convair.65.164.194.30 (talk) 18:42, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may be thinking of inertia coupling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.100.128 (talk) 17:12, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
