PETALING JAYA: Videos of the flying pattern of a Beechcraft 390 Premier plane that crashed at the Elmina township in Shah Alam suggested the aircraft could have possibly suffered asymmetrical (unbalanced) flight moments before hitting the ground.
Several seasoned aviators who had scrutinised the videos of the light business jet circulating on social media told The Star on condition of anonymity that the “misbehaviour” of the Beechcraft appeared to have occurred just several minutes before it nose-dived.
“Another probable cause could be jammed flight controls, which left the Beechcraft unmanoeuvrable,” said the highly-experienced pilot, who has accumulated tens of thousands of flying hours in more than two dozen aircraft types ranging from light to heavy aircraft. He said while stalls commonly occur at low speeds, they can occur at high speeds when excessive gravitational force from overmanoeuvring denies the aircraft the critical angle of attack it requires to maintain airflow over its wings and stay in flight.
“Each aircraft type has its own idiosyncrasies. In the end, only a thorough forensic probe by air crash investigators can determine the cause of the crash,” he added. “The aircraft can still be controlled, and the pilot would have radioed a ‘Mayday’ to the nearest air traffic control.
