Discussion

1. Icing Accident: Opine to the major issue in the Roselawn, IN. (NTSB AAR-9601) icing accident. Was it the unique ice, crew issue, or an aircraft design flaw? Did the aircraft manufacturer (BEA) agree with this report? Do you agree with the recommendations? In this case, references are not required. 
2. Crash Lab Observations: Based on what you have seen can you establish any causation? Do you see any similarities between the accident simulation and another accident discussed in this course?

3. Accident Investigation: Explain how aircraft accident investigation is both a reactive and yet proactive process

1. What are the factors in determining your takeoff critical field length for a certain runway? If after doing initial calculations you find the runway is too short, what might you be able to do as the pilot in command to be legal for takeoff?
2. Compare and contrast the longitudinal stability of a conventional aircraft in two conditions: forward CG and aft CG? Discuss control forces and aircraft responses from trimmed condition if you pulled back on the stick and let it go.
3. Compare and contrast a supercritical wing with a laminar flow wing? Discuss modern aircraft that have utilized these wings. What are the enhancements and drawbacks?
