YouTube Video Suggests Real Problems With Tri-Engine
Airliner
The data is quite sparse, but a video uploaded to YouTube by
Russia Today sure suggests that a recent TU-154 TakeOff could have
gone pretty wrong. The video shows the triple-engine airliner
gyrating fairly aggressively in all three axes with significant yaw
and roll excursions that sure seem to indicate that someone in the
cockpit was not having a good time.
If the video is for real (remember, this is YouTube), the TU-154
was able to be brought back to a safe landing at a Moscow airport
despite the significant control issues clearly shown in the video.
Minimal details currently available suggest that the aircraft was
flown only by the flight crew and that no passengers were on board
and that his might suggest that the aircraft was on maintenance or
test flight... either way, the flight crew of this bird probably
needs to see their launderer in no uncertain terms.
The video's description data says little, "Now, caught on
camera...A pilot struggles to regain control of his aircraft. This
footage shot by a plane spotter at an airport in the Moscow region
shows a Tupolev-154 apparently going out of control shortly after
take off. No passengers were onboard the Ministry of defense plane
at the time. The film released on the Internet has bloggers
praising the skills of the pilot as he manages to regain control
and land safely. Aviation authorities are investigating the
incident."
We look forward to additional details, as we have a feeling they
should be fairly intriguing...
