Preliminary data shows it was at 17,000ft and cruising at just over 200kts when “it dropped approximately 250 feet in 10 seconds. It then climbed approximately 400 feet in about eight seconds. Eight seconds later, it lost just under 2,000 feet. Then, in approximately one minute, it began rapidly descending — roughly 17,000 feet in just one minute”. In order to enter the flat spin it was in, it would have to have lost most of its forward momentum, which data had it going only ~40kts as it began its last dive from 17,000ft. I’m guessing the initial 250ft drop was because it began to lose airspeed, and then the 400 ft climb was an attempt to recover altitude but caused further loss in speed, leading to the subsequent fall. It could also have been turbulence, or even perhaps icing build up (which can lead to drag and also loss of control surface function) but we’ll have to wait and see what the black box and investigators reveal. The other big thing of note is that the engines, at least one, were clearly on as it fell, so it wasn’t due to an engine failure per se.

I found it on TripAdvisor of an EI review complaining that the overwing exit was open, unfortunately it was in Italian so I could not know what it was.

Do you ever have anything positive to say about Aer Lingus or any positive airline news articles to share? At first it was quite amusing seeing you rant on about Aer Lingus and their short comings, which is perfectly valid, however it’s beginning to feel a little repetitive now.
Over the past few days, a fair few posts in the aviation talking point thread (and your past couple of posts in this thread) have consisted of you either ranting about airport security, and why you think your opinion should be a standardised way of looking at things, or complaining about Aer Lingus. I don’t want to be a misery guts here and spoil peoples times here on the forum, but can you please try and find something positive to talk about?
I’m purely saying this to keep things upbeat, I’m not trying to get on at you or anything, just want make things a little lighter hearted. As I’m sure you can understand, the frequent complaints or negative articles about Aer Lingus are getting repetitive now.

Alright, I’ll stop about pointing fingers at them, I’ll probably find something more positive from this point on, I thought useing bad report on TripAdvisor and articles that are positive but I also don’t want to cause any arguments or backlash, If you want me to stop I will and maybe stop makeing news permanently.

I don’t want anyone stop posting anything, I’m just asking you post something more positive and a bit less repetitive. A lot of media all over the place is full of negativity as of late, so just want keep things upbeat here.
