๐๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ด๐ญ was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Charlotte to Greenville, operated by a Beechcraft 1900 (Reg. N233YV) on ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ด, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฏ.
At 08:37 the plane was ready for taxi. At 08:46 the flight was cleared for takeoff from runway 18R. One minute later, immediately after the landing gear had been retracted, the nose pitched up to 20ยฐ. Both pilots reacted with surprise and the captain asked the first officer for help. Both pilots then attempted forcefully push the nose down. The nose continued to pitch up to 54ยฐ and the stall warning sounded. The plane's nose dropped and it rolled 127ยฐ to the left.
The planeโs roll attitude then stabilized at about 20ยบ left wing down; the pitch attitude began to increase. About 08:47:24 the plane rolled right through wings level, and the pitch attitude increased to about -5ยบ. The nose dropped again and the plane struck a US Airways maintenance hangar and came to rest about 1,650 feet east of the runway 18R centerline and about 7,600 feet beyond the runway 18R threshold. All 21 people aboard were killed.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"The airplane's loss of pitch control during takeoff. The loss of pitch control resulted from the incorrect rigging of the elevator control system compounded by the airplane's aft center of gravity, which was substantially aft of the certified aft limit. Contributing to the cause of the accident was: (1) Air Midwest's lack of oversight of the work being performed at the Huntington, West Virginia, maintenance station; (2) Air Midwest's maintenance procedures and documentation; (3) Air Midwest's weight and balance program at the time of the accident; (4) the Raytheon Aerospace quality assurance inspector's failure to detect the incorrect rigging of the elevator system; (5) the FAA's average weight assumptions in its weight and balance program guidance at the time of the accident; and (6) the FAA's lack of oversight of Air Midwest's maintenance program and its weight and balance program."
