Hi! /all
From where I’m standing having not flown my own a/c for over a year and nearly got my new 914 installed it looks like there’s lots of “headless chickens” running round.
I recall a certain statement from the past which went something like …..”knee jerk” !
I don’t believe that the amount of slop between Williams Tail planes has been reported yet, from the annual inspection he had only a matter of about an hour earlier to his accident. Perhaps this would be a useful base line to consider first ? BTW I hadn’t sold him any Torque Tube clamps.
Regards

A certain PFA inspector approved the permit renewal on my aircraft, 2 weeks before I bought it, when it had 1 inch of play at the tailplane trailing edges. The plane flew just fine, apparently, with no sign of flutter, but fortunately my own inspector was quick to spot the fault and insist that I sorted it before further flight.
You can draw your own conclusions about whether a recent annual guarantees that the backlash is within limits, or indeed has been measured.
Don't know, however, if it is fair to generalise about the lack of flutter - maybe an inch of backlash combined with ANO factors is what can start a flutter???

I don't think I had heard that there was a major inspection on the aircraft
immediately before the crash. Is it then not possible that the cause of the
mishap was the inspection, not flutter. My inspections tend to disturb hoses
and fittings, etc. and I try to be absolutely religious about restoring them
to baseline. Perhaps something might have been left untightened. It has
been know to happen - a good reason to the let the responsible mechanic
take the first flight after an annual!

Pete,
The aforementioned link is either a joke or a
serious run for the Darwin Award of 2007.

I am assured it is not a joke. I don't suppose they would even know what
the Darwin award was for!!!

<<...."knee jerk....">>
But that is the process by which the PFA are able to negotiate and sustain our airworthiness "freedoms" (or, depending on your perspective, a relaxation from heavy-handed regulation).
