Sounds similar to the one in Wichita a few years back......

Friction locks issues?

What do friction locks have to do with what appears to be a loss of control accident immediately after take off.??

Aircraft veered well left after an engine failure, came to rest inverted.

"There will be no new causes of aircraft accidents in 2019"



That is NOT an approved maneuver.

Pilots wouldn't like it, but I suspect accident survival rates would improve if a
system was installed in twins, triggered by auto-feather, to pull both throttles
back to idle and to disconnect the control column, so that the aircraft would
descend at the trimmed airspeed in a straight line, to flare by itself in ground
effect.

Perhaps the code for such a system could be farmed out offshore, to be
written for $9 per hour.

Correct.  Do not like.  Then again, I’m not much of a pilot anymore so whatever keeps a tube of innocent passengers from being murdered by negligence is probably cool.

In airspeed, is life.

Lower the nose.

Not sure how to make that simpler.

Food for thought:  flying a twin with one engine
is fatal, these days.

There used to be an old stick and rudder pilot
by the name of Bob Hoover, that could shut down
BOTH engines of his twin, then do very nice
surface acro.

Stick and rudder skill is obsolete- I get that.  And
Bob Hoover was deeply hated by the regulator.

But I can’t help but thinking that somewhere along
the line, something good got lost.

Judging by the first post here basic flying skills are getting lost.....or are not being learned period

The cost is staggering.

I don't think people care much, Chuck.

Life is cheap in aviation, nowadays.  Safety just isn't important any more.

People have many other, higher priorities than not crashing.
