LOOKS LIKE I'M GOIN FOR A SWIM...
The pilot of this TBF, looks like he's in big trouble, looking at photo shows that after take-off, both ailerons are in the up position, this would make the aircraft
un-flyable with no aileron control.
This was my first impression looking at the photographs and the position of the TBM, the pilot cleared the deck and banks to the right looks like he would continue to roll and hit the water inverted. Anyway this is my guess
CARRIER AIRCRAFT MISHAP:
Thanks to Mr. Stubblebine's comment dated on
13 July 2008, 11:19:06 AM, I was able to read the whole story about what happened.
CAUSE OF MISHAP: THIS WOULD NOT BE CONDIDERED PILOT ERROR, BUT A MECHANICAL FALT
When radome was mounted on starboard wing, aileron control cables were reversed when
re-installed. This made both ailerons go up or both go down instead of one up and one down when aircraft would bank left or right during flight. This condition would make the aircraft un-flyable after take-off.
