How did the plane flip? Do we have any reason to believe it could be reasonably avoided with regulations?

How did the plane flip? Do we have any reason to believe it could be reasonably avoided with regulations?
- lumost 2y agoMaintenance is a regulatory problem. Otherwise it’s a race to the bottom looking for someone to sign off on a flight.
- CivBase 2y agoDo we have reason to believe this was a maintenance issue?
- pharrington 2y agoI gotta come clean now. I turned the plane upside-down. It was me.
- cscurmudgeon 2y agoIs there any evidence that this incidence was due to poor regulation?
- bombcar 2y agoSimple. Just add a law saying planes aren’t allowed to flip.
- dredmorbius 2y agoRight wing separated on landing. Left wing remained attached. Unequal lift vector (0% right, 100% left) induced roll. Lack of right wing meant no mechanical resistance to roll. Fuselage inverted. Regulation isn't going to affect any of that. Why the plane was landing hot at a high sink-rate (1200 fpm vs. ~600 max on stabilised approach), with no flaps, might have some grounding in regulation, or more likely, maintenance and operations standards, but uninformed speculation is highly premature and the focus on such points is utterly unjustified distraction.
