Of course, but usually the other pilot doesn’t want to die, too!

I doubt very much this is intentional.

who wins, if one pushes all the way down and the other pulls all the way up?

Whoever’s stronger. The sticks are mechanically linked.

Didn't realise that bluemoon had so many qualified aircraft crash investigators , should have know better as it also has so many pandemic and military strategy experts

If you knew what a couple of people actually did for a living you’d realise your sarcasm is misplaced.

Not everyone works at Maccie D’s here.

The sort of thing that caused that JAL crash in 1985 could well have caused this one. Explosive decompression critically damaging flight controls caused by a shoddy repair and poor maintenance. We should find out fairly quickly assuming they find the flight recorders.

One wonders what level of G the flight recorders can take given that aircraft seemed to be impacting the ground at about 85 degrees and likely around 500 knots.

What a bizarre, awful end

Why shouldn't it? Out of 75,000 members there's bound to be experts in pretty much everything. As someone who has worked in the Aviation industry for over 30 years and been involved in a couple of crash investigations during that time, I feel like I'm reasonably qualified to have an opinion based on the evidence available and the aircraft type involved.

Great reply - get bored of reading ‘didn’t know we had so many experts on here ‘ on every thread.

Most aren’t claiming to be experts anyway, they’re just giving factual insight and a opinion which is the whole point of a forum.

The certification requirement is 3400g for 6.5 milliseconds. They are required to be installed at the rear of the aircraft so that the front part acts as a crumple zone to reduce the deceleration experienced by the flight recorders.

The Chinese authorities not exactly sounding full of confidence that they’ll even locate the flight recorders right now.

I appreciate the info though, that’s quite the impact they can take.

How any stars have you got ? I’m working on my third.
