IF-35 Pilot held a 50-minute conference call before the Fighca plane was hit in Alaska
The US Air Force F-35 Pilot spent 50 minutes on the Lockorneed Martin’s conference.
The crash of January 28 in Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks was recorded in a video that the plane showed it down and exploded in the fire. The pilot is safely released, suffering only a minor injury, but 200 million jet is destroyed.
The Air Force investigation suspected the crash in hydraulic nose and large f-35 gear, which prevented them from being able to post well.
According to the report, after taking the driver he tried to return the arrival gears, but he won’t do it completely. When it slowed down again, it won’t grow, lock angle on the left. Landing gear attempted to make a fighter jersey thinking that it was in the ground, and eventually led.
After attending the program testing list in order to correct the problem, the pilot entered engineers and developers from the Plane manufacturer, Martin, as the plane is flying near a spiritual basis. Five engineers have participated in the phone, including higher software engineer, aircraft engineer and three specialists on aircraft gardens, the report said.
The pilot tried to “touch the two” touch “, when they plane briefly, trying to straighten gear in Jammed, the report.

But those efforts failed to promote the nose wheel and resulted in the left and left and left gear to extend to the real arrival.
At that time, F-35 nerves indicate that they are in the face and jet computers converted to “Automated-Operation mode,” said the report.
This has caused the zeal of war to be “uncontrollably” because it was “Operat (ing) as if it was on the ground,” enforced a pilot to extract.
The plea test found that about one third of the fluid systems in the nostrils and the high gears of their arrival were water, where there was no.
The investigation has found the same hydraulic icing problem for another F-35 in the same foundation during the aircraft after nine days after crashing, but that flight was able to arrive outside the events.
Report Notes in Lockedeed Martin has issued the issues in the cold f-35 cold sensors with cold climatic climate in April 2024, about nine months before the accident. The problem can make it “difficult for the last driver to control airplanes,” Head said.
The temperature during the accident was a 12 degree Fahrenheit, the report said.
