I'm the author of The Prophecies book series. There is a near-crash of a jet in one of the books, and I have a term I need to clarify, so I came to the pilots to ask the question. :wink2:
Description of the scene:
The passenger jet is coming in for a landing during a bad storm. They are rolling and pitching all over the place as they descend. On approach, the plane is lurching up and down, and just before the wheels touch down, the jet suddenly pitches, starting to turn sideways, one wing up and one wing down, and it begins to twist as though it was going to cartwheel.
Is it a "cartwheel" or a "corkscrew" or is it called something else entirely?
Thank you,
Linda Hawley
