A good CRITICAL ASSEMBLY CHECK, anyone?


Agree JJ, this cannot be stressed enough!!

Not all pilots are as lucky as the cited fellow. I know of 2 ASW-20
pilots who died after having taken off without connecting the elevator.
One of them was used to an LS with automatic control hookups, thus
forgetting the positive post assembly control...

Always do a positive controls check!
