Failure to maintain a debt to horror landing of the Regierungsjets?

There is evidence, which led to the uncontrolled rolling movements of the Bombardier Global 5000 flight readiness in Schönefeld. They indicate a maintenance error.

It's dramatic scenes on Tuesday morning were (16. April) at the airport Berlin-Schönefeld took place. A Bombardier Global 5000 flight readiness had risen to a test flight, but got quickly control problems and turned. At the landing, there was another uncontrolled roll movements. The Jet way tipped several times to the left and to the right. The tips of the wings touched the ground.

As the magazine der Spiegel writes, have limited the investigators of the German armed forces, in the meantime, apparently, the cause for the glitch. In Tests shortly after the incident, they have found that an important control part in the previous maintenance at Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services has been installed at the airport Schönefeld wrong. When part of it is, apparently, a torque tube (torque tube).

Flaps did the opposite of the Desired

Via torque tubes, sometimes the inputs of the pilots will be implemented in the Cockpit hydraulically. Thus, control of moving parts such as Flaps and rudder. Apparently the part has been used incorrectly, so that the airbrakes (Spoilers) exactly the opposite of reacted as they should actually, as it says in the report. You'll have to check the maintenance of the Bombardier Global 5000 flight readiness, "the most thorough", said a spokesman of Lufthansa Technik, the magazine.
