@amazeifystore: How can “just” missing lubricant help bring down an airliner? ✈️ Alaska Airlines Flight 261 revealed how gradual wear in a jackscrew and acme nut can turn into a devastating flight-control problem. Inadequate lubrication was identified as a key factor, showing how tiny maintenance gaps can become catastrophic over time. How much wear is too much? Watch the threads, then share this with someone who loves aviation case files. #Aviation #AviationSafety #AlaskaAirlines261 #AviationAccidents #AircraftMaintenance #FlightControl #AerospaceEngineering #EngineeringFailure #AirSafety #AviationHistory
I was with the FAA and part of the investigation. Maintenance Control directed the crew to run the system to different postions trying assess the problem basically turning the crew and passengers into test pilots. The FAA Regional Manager at the time sweep the airlines previous violations under the rug then threw he new Principle Maintenance Inspector under the bus. The epitome of government corruption.
