What: Florida State Plane
Where: Tallahassee
When: Tues May 6
Who: Gov. Charlie Crist
Why: The Plane’s autopilot, yaw damp and pitch trim malfunctioned in the first 45 minutes of Crist’s flight from Tallahassee. The yaw damp is part of the autopilot system that helps stabilizes the tail, and the pitch trim the craft’s up and down movement.
