Several years ago, NASA produced a video for pilots detailing their research in tailplane icing and tailplane stalls. Produced by the Imagine Technology Center at NASA’s Lewis Research Center, the video describes signs indicative to the onset of a tailplane stall, aerodynamics and recovery techniques. The video was produced as a result of insights gained from the NASA/FAA Tailplane Icing Program.
This video, IMO should be viewed by everyone earning their instrument ticket. It covers important points, critical ones at that.
[...] We’ll need to wait for NTSB to determine the cause for certain, but watching this old NASA icing-research video is an eye-opener because of the eery similarities between the script and the details emerging from Buffalo. The video comes to us courtesy of the Aviation Chatter blog. [...]
