NTSB Animation Comair Flight 3272

how come there's only icing problem for props? I never see icing problems for jets.

[blueb0g]

@EasternMerchant Icing problems exist for both but jets fly faster and higher altitude and are so less susceptible.

With the yellow yoke under the reference gray yoke in the simulation, does it mean there were back pressure applied?

[ThePiratadosacores]

God that had to have been terrifying for all those aboard. God rest their souls.

This plane crashed about 3 miles from my grandmothers house. I did not see the plane crash myself but did hear it hit the ground. Sounded like a car door was slammed shut right outside the house. Hate hearing car doors shut now because I think about that day and how that sound was all those poor people dying. =\

@xStevenBradleyx thats all it sounded like was a car door shutting i really doubt that

[xStevenBradleyx]

@trainfreak7745 What do you mean "I really doubt that"? I was the one who heard it, not you. I was not right next to where it had crashed, as I said I was about 3 miles away and inside a house. I swore that someone was at the house cause it did sound like a car door slamming shut and the dogs were barking like crazy. I even went to see who was there but there was no one. Then 45 minutes later is when we heard what had happened.

[trainfreak7745]

@xStevenBradleyx I mean i dont think a plane with that much fuel hitting the ground that hard would only sound like a car door slamming i believe you heard it just hard to believe thats it

@trainfreak7745

Just wait until you hear it...then comment on what it sounds like.

I can only hope you never have to describe it.

[hammerogod]

@xStevenBradleyx

I heard a Beech Barron crash in a heavy Fog (killing 5)...that is the sound...a car door slamming.

Over the years I have heard three other people describe that sound...you are the 4th.

I only have two thoughts about it...#1- I don't want to hear it again and #2- It was over quick.

[SoloWingF16]

what are boots

[flyboy242]

@Solo Wing F 16 Rubber surface on the leading edge of the airfoils; wings, vertical, horizontal stabilizer. they inflate to knock ice off the edges

[munkfish101]

Was this because of an ice build up on the wings behind the 'boots' ??

[tulaconalas]

@munkfish101

nope, it was ice, but they didn´t use the boots that´s all

[charlieechovictor]

@tulaconalas from what I've understood, they didn't have the boots...
