Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

A J-10C crashed on November 9, 2018, and the pilot at the age of 30 died.
It is said that, the pilot ejected himself while the aircraft was flying upside down at a low altitude, and then the aircraft kept flying...
The pilot can fly J-20, J-16, and J-10C.

Sounds like a FBW malfunction since J-10C is so new...

RIP for pilot.

But why do you think it "sounds like a FBW malfunction" if the original post mentioned, that the pilot "ejected himself while the aircraft was flying upside down at a low altitude"??

IMO it sound like a tragic mishap, maybe the altitude was too low to enable a safe ejection in upside-down? ... IMO more likely than to assume a malfunction of the FCS.

FBW malfunction will cause pilot to lose control over the plane and aircraft flying abnormal. Low attitude flying and upside down is suicide. No pilot will do that unless loses control. Any ejection is also sure dead.

Indeed a possibility, but there are so many different possibilities for a pilot to loose control of its aircraft esp. in low altitude - and FCS malfunction might be one - , so that I would be careful to be so sure. Loosing orientation, simply a tragic pilot error ...

F22 faced he same problem when flying low l.

The pilot is only 30 years old,damn it. What a loss!

Now PLAAF pushes very aggressively in daily excercise, more casualty is expected.
