You’d have found me laying under that piece before I called anyone. My neck. My back. My neck and my back.

 

[Skåning]

Phew. Glad it wasn’t one of ours…like last time

Only 109 pax between ATL-RDU is almost surprising as having a piece of the airplane fall off.

The big three are taking it a bit on the chin of late at RDU due to the our economy being so heavily reliant upon federal grants. I've been tracking a drop in loads the last two months.

You know, @MikeD , I’ve been saying this for years, but this is what happens when you use Flaps 2

This is not the good type of PDA.

Or raise flaps in the flare

Hey, at least it wasn't the first officer this time.

Too soon?

I’m curious if the crew would have noticed any asymmetry after losing only this flap.

AP probably would have compensated without complaint but curious about loss of this one lift device, among many, with AP not engaged.
