NARRATIVE: ON 1/18/94, RYAN 205, A B-727-21, N356QS, DEPARTED NASHVILLE, TN (BNA), FOR DAYTON, OH. AFTER TAKEOFF, RYAN 205 REPORTED THAT HE HAD A VIBRATION IN THE AIRCRAFT AND WISHED TO RETURN FOR LANDING. THE LOG ENTRY MADE IN N356QS MAINTENANCE LOG BOOK STATED THAT A "SEVERE BUFFETT" WAS EXPERIENCED AT 250K. WHEN SLOWING TO 220K THE BUFFETT BECAME MODERATE BUT CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT UNTIL TOUCHDOWN. POWER ADJUSTMENTS ON EACH THROTTLE AND SPOILER USAGE HAD NO EFFECT ON THE BUFFET. EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT AFTER PARKING SHOWED THAT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AILERONS (INBOARD AND OUTBOARD), THE CONTROL TABS, FLAP TRAILING EDGE, RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE AT THE FENCE, LEFT SIDE OF THE VERTICAL STABILIZER, AND LEFT SIDE OF THE #2 ENGINE COWL ALL HAD ICE ADHERING TO THE SURFACES. THE AIRCRAFT HAD BEEN DE-ICED OVER A 3 1/2 HOUR PERIOD USING ANOTHER CARRIER FOR PERSONNEL AND MATERIALS AFTER IT HAD ACCUMULATED A SIGNIGICANT ICE BUILDUP OVER A 2 DAY LAYOVER PERIOD.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
