A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an airborne conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers trying to solve a problem with his fighter jet before he ejected and the plane plunged to the ground in Alaska earlier this year, an accident report released this week says.
An inspection of the aircraft’s wreckage found that about one-third of the fluid in the hydraulic systems in both the nose and right main landing gears was water, when there should have been none.
Maybe some flight tech at the base attached the hose for refilling a water (maybe cooling for the pilot) system to the wrong port.
I’m not very sure though, as ports in the aerospace world, whether electrical or plumbing tend to use different shapes/models within the same grouping to prevent misconnectionsp
How does that happen?
