Title: FAA AD on Rolls Powered 744 Models
Post by: stekeller on Wed, 1 Jul 2009 06:01
I just saw this and thought the information might be interesting to PS1/PSX pilots.

Apparently, a BA aircraft experienced uncommanded slat retraction after departing JNB and "came close to stalling" - yikes! The issue was traced to the slat retraction logic associated with thrust reversal.
