| Investigators will now use high-powered microscopes to analyse the barnacle-covered flaperon in a bid to understand what caused the plane to go down. |
| A stall speed for zero flaperon deflection is not given. Pilots who have flown the Kitfox IV indicate that it has reasonable stall characteristics without the tendency to drop a wing during the exercise. |
| Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said a maintenance seal on the flaperon matches the airline's records, though he didn't elaborate. |
| The fuselage opening is placed underneath to make it possible that the flaperon connection runs straight and without complications. |
| The two-metre object, thought to be a section of wing called a flaperon, will be probed at a defence ministry lab in Toulouse. |
| We flew the HI-ILS, made our gear call at three miles, touched down on the piano keys, and began to aerobrake with good flaperon popups. |
