>less great at a height of 1,000 feet.
Am I reading the chart on page 27 wrong? Because it looks like they reached a maximum height of 7,000 feet. Also looks like they were continuing to slowly climb until they re-enabled electric trim.
EDIT TO ADD:
Page 12 also says:
>about 32 seconds before the end of the recording, at approximately 13,400 ft
Which is a bit under 6,000 feet higher than the airport.
- msbarnett 8y agoLooks like you're right. But apparently the option 2 maneuver (relax pressure on stick, then crank) hasn't been covered in a Boeing 737 manual since the 200 series in the 1980s. So even given the extra room, there was no documentation covering that possible recovery scenario.
- ambicapter 8y agoA lot of people are thinking they maxed out at a height of ~1,000 ft because that is what the flight tracker website last showed.
