Ooh... "Mr. Procedures" isn't going to like this!

Take note of the part at 8:58 where when discussing the crew's successful efforts to save the aircraft, they mention how they pulled the circuit breakers for some of the flight controls... :shock: :mrgreen:

Awesome post!

Sooooo many angles:

-Cowboy improvisation, Indeed! (and rather outside of someone's black and white viewpoint).

-Along with the CB comment, I heard something about "airmanship".

-And Cockpit Resource Management.

-Cheap composite (*see footnote) tails busting off (I wanted to know if feet were working rudder pedals in violation of the FCOM).

-Superior Boeings that fly even thought the tail is busted off.

-Landing in Blytheville, Arkansas...as I kid, I had family about 70 miles away and in the 1960's B-52's would make low altitude practice runs...very awesome.

-I'm sure I can think of some things that might have been done differently (just because it's fun to second guess insider professionals).

-A flight crew member called "navigator".

-And a youtube of an old armed-services/engineer film (always good, whether aviation-related or not).

*Footnote: That's a composite of metals, skin and structural members, not_a composite of carbon fiber and epoxy.

The part I found "interesting" was that they spent five hours flying it all over the central US before landing... :shock:

Well, there is that 1945-1970 notion of this broadly-applicable memory checklist.

1. Don't touch anything.
2. Light cigarette
3. Enact good, deliberate, CRM to diagnose the problem and apply appropriate procedures.

As to whether that can specifically be used on a B-52, when it was probably written for a B-17...what's the title of this thread again?
