Subject: | Nanchang accident. |
TSB Identification: CEN12FA462
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, July 21, 2012 in Walsenburg, CO
Aircraft: NANCHANG CHINA CJ-6A, registration: N96YK
Injuries: 2 Fatal.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain
errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final
report has been completed.
On July 21, 2012, about 1130 mountain daylight time, an experimental
Nanchang CJ-6A airplane, N96YK, impacted terrain near the Spanish
Peaks Airfield (K4V1), Walsenburg, Colorado. The private pilot and the
passenger were both fatally injured. The airplane sustained
substantial damage. The airplane was registered to and operated by a
private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological
conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated without a flight
plan. The flight originated from an undetermined location and was
destined for K4V1.
The pilot was flying to K4V1 to join three other airplanes for a
formation flight. The other pilots in the formation were already at
the airfield waiting for the pilot and observed the accident. The
witnesses reported that the airplane approached the airfield from the
north, overflew the midpoint of the runway and entered the downwind
for a right base turn to runway 8. The airplane lowered the landing
gear and flap prior to initiating the base turn. The airplane was then
observed to slow and start a right bank turn that continued to
increase in bank angle and roll rate. The airplane quickly descended
and impacted terrain.

Subject: | Re: Nanchang accident. |
Bill,
This was an accident tragic beyond words. Jeff's happy love of flying and the infectious
enthusiasm of he and his son Jack will be sorely missed by all of us
at FFZ. Those of us who were on the ground at 4V1 and watched this unfold are
still in a state of shock and our hearts are broken.
If there is anything to be learned, it is that when things deviate from the familiar
it is necessary to have the right information to work with. It is unsettling
when I hear things like "real pilots can tell when they are about to stall."
True, at our home airports and with average temps and normal loading, most
of us can probably do a beautiful landing every time with all the instruments
covered. But at a high altitude airport, with the outside temperature above 90
degrees, things are different. The accident record in general and this heartsick
occurrence in particular are eloquent testimony that none of us are really
as good as we think we are. We all know that even high time pilots have stall
/ spin accidents. Are airplanes so difficult to control that even very accomplished
pilots cannot prevent this?
By the right information, I'm referring to having information about the angle of
attack (AOA). This concept needs no explanation to those who flew in the military,
but the pilot with a general aviation background is unlikely to ever have
seen an AOA indicator. What the AOA indicator gives us is a net solution regarding
lift, independent of airspeed, weight, temperature, humidity and loading.
What continues to make it hard for me to sleep at night is thinking about the fact
that last week an AOA indicator was installed in my CJ and that this flight
was the first time it was used. I landed at 4V1 less than an hour before Jeff
and the AOA indicator showed that about 10 knots faster than normal was required
on the approach. It is now abundantly clear that both landing and takeoff
involves the correct management of the angle of attack. This will forever change
the way that I fly.
Sadly,
Warren

Dennis,
The higher the density altitude, the higher the true airspeed for a given i
ndicated airspeed. So, if the true airspeed was 10 knots higher at an IAS a
t that density, then the corresponding ground speed would be 10 knots highe
r for a given wind also (as compared to sea level). The KIAS you fly in the
pattern should not change with density. I will say that flying with an AOA
is very nice because you always know what proportion of lift you are deman
ding from the wing at any moment. It's very intuitive once you start using
one. If properly calibrated it also compensates for different flap settings
. :-))

AoA is everything. Had an AoA indicator on my first CJ. Extremely useful,
even in botched aerobatic maneuvers. Go to zero alpha and wait until you
have some airspeed.
FYI, for a given loading a given CAS (and IAS) will produce a given AoA. So
if you are at the same loading, you can use IAS as you would AoA. A hot and
high airport will NOT require a different approach IAS for the same AoA.
The nice thing about AoA is that it is independent of loading. Stall will
occur at the same AoA whether you are pulling 5G or 0.5G, or whether the
plane is empty or loaded to max gross. But for a given fuel/passenger load
you will always use the same IAS on approach to achieve the proper approach
AoA.
Your extra 10 kts suggests you need to check for a problem in either your
IAS or AoA indicators unless you had more weight in the plane than usual.

All true, but ground speed has nothing to do with flying the airplane?
I completely agree with you; IAS in the pattern is IAS and should not
change with density. No question about it, an AOA might have prevented
this tragedy.

Ground speed certainly doesn't ... my point was if you are looking out the window
and are not used to landing at high elevation (+6000' AGL) on hot days, you
will be surprised how much faster you are going relative to the ground than you
are going at 0' AGL on a standard day.
Sorry for the confusion ...

Not to sound sarcastic or condescending and maybe I misunderstood what

the airplane?

Firstly, let me say how sorry I am for the loss of those two family members. My
condolences to Family and Friends.
As a sea level resident I am very interested in the discussions re AOA guages/indicators.
While British Columbia has lots of mountains, and occasional heat,
most of our high density fields are not in the 6,000'plus range. However, should
my travels take me to such high level fields I should like to be prepared.
When I raced at Reno I always carried extra speed on base and final. Thus, I would
welcome comments and suggestions on type, models and installation of AOA
indicators for my CJ-6A.
Thanks for helping me out with this.

Coop,
=46rom what I have read, the Lift Reserve Indicator is probably the most
reliable angle of attack indicator out there. Here is a link.
http://www.liftreserve.com/
I have mine on the left hand side of the glare shied, basically in the
line of sight for landing and takeoff. It is pneumatic and requires no
power, another plus. My A&P guy did the install in about seven hours.
Installing an angle of attack indicator in your CJ will be something of
an epiphany. At any moment, it will tell you what the wing is doing in
terms of lift and there will be times when this information may surprise
you.
Al Mojzisik's number at Lift Reserve is 614-890-6301 and his e-mail is:
prober@iwaynet.net He is very knowledgeable.
Good luck with everything,
Warren

This company is at OSH. They give a good presentation. The only thing I don't like
about it is they require another pitot tube to be installed.
http://www.alphasystemsaoa.com/
Here is another company. I believe they are at OSH too. They do not require another
pitot tube. They use your existing pitot system along with a pressure point
on the top and bottom of the airfoil.
http://advanced-flight-systems.com/Products/AOA/aoa.html
They are also being integrated into different EFIS. I know Dynon has one for their
SkyView system but that requires the use of their pitot tube.
I know of at least one CJ with the Advanced Flight System version installed.

In my 52TW I have Advanced AOA's Pro. It is mounted on the top of the dash just
to the left and in line with the windshield support and my line of sight so
it is not taking any viewing area while flying. My reason for the Advanced and
not the Dynon upgrade to my D5 is that the Advanced tells me audio in the headset
my flaps have been deployed and visually a green donut appears when the
gear is deployed. The multi bar display is easy to see without looking down
at the instrument panel for a small dimly lit useless bar graph during landing.
The AOA is in my vision during formation as well at least when looking left
and flying. And is easy to see in max sunlight. I fly out of 5K to 9K airports
all the time in Colorado. I really can't say I'm all that impressed after
spending gobs of money and time on the installation. I am a IAS watcher all
the time on landing and compare it to the AOA and notice they are pretty much
married up all the time when landing. So keeping coordinated rudder in the turns
and IAS where it should be helps along with a stabilized approach. I do get
impressed with the amount of climb I can pull and still have reserved lift
at max power. Don't get me wrong I like it but it won't fix bad pilotage.

Thomas,
Just my opinion, but to have solid information, a separate, dedicated
probe is preferred. Not that big a deal to install. On takeoff and
landing, important decisions are made based on this information and it's
the transition from one lift state to another that is being closely
monitored. To my way of thinking, a smoothly responding analog dial
allows for more meaningful information processing than waiting for a red
/ yellow / green electronic chevron to change from one color to another.
Attached are some pictures to illustrate this.

Advanced AOA is a dedicated probe system. Has Flap and Gear Warning.
Don't worry the lights change fast and takes not much to make them change.
One flight and dials are history. Nothing to think about it's just there.

Subject: | Re: Nanchang accident. |
I happened to something about this. I happened to own the patent on one of them.
Since expired.
I have no financial interest in any of these.
There are really 4 companies that sell AOA systems; Alpha Systems AOA, Rite Angle,
Advanced AOA and Dynon.
Advanced AOA was originally designed and owned by Jim France, a Republic Airlines
pilot.
The Rite Angle unit, invented by a nice guy in Washington State.
The Alpha Systems AOA System patent was owned by yours truly, me.
The only difference in all the units, is how they gather the information to be
processed.
Rite angle has a rather large probe mounted on the wing. This probe actually measures
the angle of attack. The probe flys in the free air and stays parallel
to the relative wind. Good info, not very attractive probe.
The Alpha system and the Dynon companies are all variations on my patent. Basically,
you have two holes, in a probe. As you fly, one hole or the other gets more
or less ram air. Just as a pitot tube. One hole drives the indicator to the
green, good, the other hole drives it to the red. Bad.
Dynon sells a new pitot tube with the 2 holes. Alpha has a short probe that it
mounted anywhere outside the propeller arc. You need undisturbed air.
Advanced AOA has a hole on the top and bottom of the wing. They are measure pressure
differences between the two. Basically the same as the other 3.
There are good and bad points with all. However they all offer similar displays.
Installation varies only a little.
Rite, mount on the strut or? Run the wire/hoses thru the wing.
Alpha, mount the probe in an existing inspection plate, hoses thru wing. It can
be heated.
Dynon, replace your pitot tube, hose thru the wing.
Advanced, more difficult. Drill holes, mount water drain, then run hoses thru wing.
Dynon and Alpha are the only heated probes.
Each unit comes with its own fun for calibration.
They all give you choices of displays.
Dynons display is in there EFIS display. Not as handy as mounting in your view
when looking outside where you should be looking.
AOA is what really makes the airplane fly. The only thing you need airspeed indicators
for is to know when you can put the gear and flaps down, and rotate for
takeoff.
With AOA you know exactly where the airplane will stall. Remember, airplanes will
stall at any airspeed, altitude, attitude, and weight. But always the same
AOA. There are those that will make the case. For with and without flaps. Fine.
We are talking basics. So you know where it stalls, don't go there.
You will also know exactly where Vx, basic angle of climb. Vx and Vy change with
altitude, AOA for those speeds doesn't change. Maintain AOA and you are always
getting max performance.
When people make statements like, " I've been flying this airplane for 40 years,
I don't need one of these nor do I need to know, or I fly by the seat of my
pants, RUN! I don't care how good you think you are, you ain't that good. The
term, Fly by the seat of my pants, that is where the term smart ass comes from.
My butt is not that smart.
All in all a good tool. Required, should be but no. Keep the nose down. If you
over-shoot final, don't pull and step on the rudder. Show everyone how smart you
are, go-around.

Many people like the the LRI. Unfortunately, the LRI does NOT display AoA,
at least not directly. AoA is a factor but I was never able to discern what
that instrument was telling me. From what I can tell, it displays AoA times
airspeed which probably is just total lift. Regardless, it is DEFINITELY
NOT pure AoA and cannot be treated as such. If you want AoA you need to get
a different instrument.
The unit I had in my CJ6A was the AoA Pro, now sold by Advanced Flight
Systems. I liked it very much.
See: http://advanced-flight-systems.com/Products/AOA/aoa.html
The only negative to this instrument (and definitely a nit) is that it does
not read negative AoA, only positive, so it can't be used on "outside"
maneuvers. For most this won't matter.
