Mugatu Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Here's the summary of the report from air-attack.com. Does the "left yaw/roll phenomenon" also affect the C model? http://www.air-attack.com/news/article/3452/F-15D-accident-report-released.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Davies Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes, it does. Departures and subsequent spins as a result of maneuvering with an asymmetric fuel balance is a well-known issue for the Eagle. It has caught out many an experienced pilot, and in the early days killed quite a few of them as a result. These days, it is far less common. Although I cannot comment on this case, historically speaking one of the main causes has been that pilots have failed to monitor fuel balance between ACM/BFM setups.
