Video 1/3. Tu-154 Take-off:




Video 2/3. I started dry-heaving at about 0:58:

Video 3/3. Chunks blown. I don't even know what's keeping this hunk of shit together.

Big cross winds or amature pilots?

I'd guess a pretty monumental flight control system fuck-up. The plane looked to be in a cross-coupled mode. Crazy Ivans, maybe!

It appears to have a severe aft CG problem. Damned lucky to get it back on the ground.
I guess nobody checked weight and balance before takeoff.

Yuri, I keepz mashing on these two pedals on zee floor and we still don't slow down any.    What's wrong with this pile of sheeet?

WTF is going on there?

Control surface malfunctions?

Why is the landing gear still down?

I'm going to with with some kind of test. I'm betting there's no one on that plane but a pilot.  Why do you think the guy is filming?

Probably to start, but if you let the controls go to neutral position, won't the plane fly out of it?

Oh it should. I think he was doing it on purpose.


Maybe it was a rotary-wing guy trying to use the flap lever as a collective pitch control.

Induced != intentional. Most PIO is not intentional. It's sloppy control.

Not necessarily with swept wing aircraft. Dutch roll...



and



As wing b is less swept in relation to the airflow, it produces more lift and creates a rolling moment since the lift is asymetric.  As it reaches its critical AoA, the lift dissapates, the wing drops, and the other wing becomes less swept, and the process occurs in reverse.  Slight more complicated than that, but thats the process in a nutshell.

A yaw damper uses a sensor and rudder to compensate and dampen these occelations.  They are more pronounced at altitude, and thus high altitude flight in swept wing aircraft requires a yaw damp.

According to wiki, the Tu-154 doesn't have a yaw damp, using the reverse dihidreal effect of airfoil.

Quite a Russian solution to attempt to bypass the necessity of  YD in highly swept wing airplanes.

Tu-154. NATO Code name: Careless. Not a coincidence.



I only ever had two flights on one, in Bulgaria. I got good and hammered before the second flight.

I always test the aircraft that way. The rear end for stress fractures.

Something like that.
And a few years previously one had crashed on that run.
