Hi! Carl
Interesting questions the replies to which will be eagerly awaited by
numerous people. I wish to make no comment however I recently asked the
forum a question and got no reply ....it is relevant to keeping the
tailplanes secured on the torque tube ...I repeat.....
I recently saw a prospective mod. suggestion which I felt to be really
good "out of the box" thinking ..... there was a spring lever through a
slot in the forward upper surface of the tailplane closeout area which
when opened by holding against the spring allowed the tail plane to push
the lever behind the drive plates and then sprung into place behind the
drive plates.
Personally I would also have the same lever/spring arrangement also in
an aft position making two pairs of levers all in addition to the
existing pip pins.
Anyone know the status of this mod ...has it been applied for ?
Regards

permit application.

It is easy to point the finger of blame after the event and what I am
about
to say is not intended to blame anyone but rather offered as food for
thought.
It seems to me that there is a serious flaw in the regulatory system
that
has allowed this (and probably other) accidents to occurr.
