Background • In-flight separation and loss of horizontal stabilizer
occurred during VNE demonstration flights without further consequences.
• TIL DA 016-2009
Investigation • Aerodynamic Divergence (termed as “Fluttering”)
• dynamic coupling between vertical flapping & torsion modes (sudden occurrence & dependant on IAS).
Protective Measure • EASB 01.00.60
• VNE limit revised to 150 kt• Rate of descent : ≤ 1500 ft/min (beyond 140 kt IAS)
