Rudder banked?
[edit]That does not sound like proper terminology, but I am not a pilot.
I changed it to deflected, that's the terminology I have heard most frequently for aircraft control surfaces. Theshoestore (talk) 09:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Truth, is they left the rudder trim in the wrong position and failed to correct it prior to take off . jacob805
- I agree that it was written in a rather poor way. I am in the process now of doing a major re-write of the entire article. Will work on getting the citations inserted, later on. Too tired to do it now. Most will be a reference to the official NTSB report. EditorASC (talk) 13:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Accident Analysis
[edit]I will remove the template that this section is not adequately cited, for these reasons:
At the beginning of that section, is this statement:
- "The NTSB found numerous "crew coordination problems" during its investigation, which had a bearing on the ultimate outcome of Flight 5050:"
And then, each of those problems was listed, in bulleted form, and then at the end of the last bullet, the one sole citation is given: The official NTSB report on that accident.
If some of those bulleted findings had come from a variety of other sources, then I would have added additional source citations. But, since each is part of that report, and the paragraph starts out by clearly saying that they were the findings of the NTSB, then the only source for all of that is that one NTSB report. And, that citation was there when the non-cited template was inserted.
I cannot add additional citations, because there are none. All of it comes from the official NTSB report and that was and is properly cited. EditorASC (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to one external link on USAir Flight 5050. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}
