La Grande Peur : Air Astana 1388

YouTube monologue (French) recounting the Nov 11, 2018 Air Astana incident involving an Embraer 190: during a heavy C-check in Portugal technicians replaced wing cable-retaining rings (removing pulleys) which required removing both aileron cables and inadvertently led to the two being crossed. On departure the aircraft showed a "Flight Control Fault"; after multiple shop attempts (including replacing four flight-control computers) the fault cleared but the root error remained. During the ferry flight the aircraft behaved erratically laterally (ailerons and spoilers opposing), autopilot would not engage, and over ~1 hour the crew endured extreme oscillations (altitude varied from ~2,000 ft to ~16,000 ft, vertical descent rates up to ~10,000 ft/min), 6 people aboard. The crew ultimately landed with heavy structural damage; the airframe was written off. Aftermath: investigations, accusations, medals to the crew, and procedural changes (positive identification checks of surface deflections before dispatch).
