NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt reported that during arrival to the destination arpt, he heard a loud bang & the acft began rolling to the right. He reported that he was unable to control the roll with the ailerons, so he reduced power on the left eng & applied left rudder. The crew was then able to maintain directional control of the acft & made a safe landing. After landing, the left aileron was found to be bent at the 2nd hinge point. An investigation revealed that on 2/20/84, the screws on the outboard hinge of the left aileron were improperly installed. This allowed the outboard section of the aileron to come loose.
