3 of 3, Aircraft icing loss of control
Loading...
Uploaded by SleepyTito on Feb 13, 2009
Part 3 of 3.
NASA produced video on icing induced loss of control due to tail stall.
3 paths lead to tail stall conditions if there is ice on the tail:
-Flaps,
-Speed,
-Power.
There is usually no clue about it until a configuration change.
To recover from an ice-induced tail stall, you must take actions that are almost completely opposite from those required to recover from a wing stall. Making the wrong moves will aggravate the stall.
At low altitudes you may not be able to recover.

An excellent teaching video! Thanks!

Just curious, how is it that the Colgan aircraft was not subject to a tail plane stall under serious icing conditions?
Did this plane have tail plane de-icing boots or heated tail plane surfaces?
-
"remember, in almost all tailwind icing accidents, the 'cockpit' hits the ground first". LOL nice closing statement.

Thank you for uploading this. I think it is very useful.

This video, shown to Colgan pilots as part (or all) of their icing training, may be a partial cause of the Continental (Colgan) crash in Buffalo in 2009. The pilot reacted as if his plane were in tailplane stall - the exact opposite of what he would and should have done if he realised he was approaching a normal wing stall. The type of plane he was flying is not subject to tail-stall, but he apparently didn't know this, remembered this video, and his mistake killed all 50 aboard.

Great video. Ice boots suck..almost as much as not having them :)

Very good information. I've encountered icing on many occations and this extra info on tail stall was very helpful. Thanks.
