DROOP RESTRl CTJION REMOTE POSSIBIL ITY
objefet to Triden t crash inquiry told refinery restr ictions
B.E.A. CONSIDERED the possibility of a pilot deliberately retracting the Trident wing droop at a low speed to be extremely remote, Captain Eric Poole, the ai rlin e's flight development m anager , told the Papa India crash inquiry in London yesterday. Captain Poole , a current holder of an air safety tro phy, said the Staines , Middlesex , disaster— which iilled all 118 people on board , including 12 Irish businessmen , last June— ;-was the first serious inciden t involving a B.E.A. Trident. be " "^lis can contr asted with the experience of a ver y similar aircraft designed abroad which at a similar stage of fleet use had had five serious and fatal accidents. " He added: " The impre ssion gained after 500,000 hours of operating experience of the Trident by B.E.A. is that the ori ginal intention s have been 'achieved. The ¦work-load appea rs reasonable in spite of the high cruising speed and the layout adopted seems to functio n as expected ," Captain Poole said he thought the standards of B.E.A.'s younger pilots were good. They quickly gained confidence and he had no qualms about operating with them . " I sometime s compare them with pilots who have come from other sources , older pilots perhaps with more flying experienc e, and I long ago formed the op inion t h at expe rience in terms of flying hours is not necessarily the right yardstic k. " Their basic know led ge is sound and they quickly apply themselves to the tas ks we give them. They go throueh their training courses quite well. " 1
HUMAN ERROR Like all human beings , he continued , pilots were liable to error and the frequency of mistakes was increased by hi gh work-load and facto rs such as hich temperature and noise levels. Particular attentio n was paid to the Trident flight-deck design to ensure a satisfactory work-load in good conditions. A second importa nt factor was the use of operating procedures desi gned so that mistakes did not go undetected or uncorrected. Captain Poole , who piloted Mr. Justice Geoffrey Lane , the inquiry chairman , on an inspection flight , said the Trident flight -deck layout •was designed so that it could be ope rated by any two of the three pilots any foresee able emergency ¦withoutin any change of seat positions. In general , the captain acted as a manager with the third pilot ensuring correct completion of checklist items. Precautions were taken to prevent interrupti ons or distractions. Warnings of system failure and mis-operating or wr ong selection •were given to all three pilots by flashing red or amb er lishts. Wa rnines in the pilots ' headphones drew atte ntion to more import ant system failures and ha ndlin s erro rs. f' Rptain Poole said that in the orisfna! design for the Trident flieht-contr ol system, the droo p and flap-selector levers did not meet the
equirement that . . all controls involving flight safety should adequately prevent or reduce the risk of inadvertent or accidental operation. But the deficiency was recognised during development flying and a safety device introduced , so that selection of the wing droop lever to the "up position " was not possible with the flap lever in the "land" position. This prevented mistaken selection during an overshoot , when both levers would be in full down posi tion and side by side. It was found that mistakes could occur despite different shaped knobs on the two levers. After further operational experience the device protecti ng ' against incorrect droop lever selection was extended. The inquiry has heard that incorrect selection of trie wing droop lever at too low speed caused Papa India to begin its stall from 1,300 feet. DROOP FLAP SYSTEM Improvements were also made to a warning system concerning the droop flap system. "All these improveme nts to the droop flap mechanism and its warning system indicate tha t B.E.A . and the manufacturer have alway s been alert to the need to provide as much protection and warning as possible to these two contro l surfaces ", said Captain Poole. Having corrected these deficiencies it was con sidered , in conjunction with the operating procedures and monitoring techniq ues , th at th e possibility of a selection of the droop lever to the "up" position at a low speed could then only result from a deliberate pilot action. "The possibility of such an action talcing place was considered to be extremely remote " Trident Papa India 's second oficer , Simon Ticehurst (24), sho u ld have screamed "Speed!" when the aerop lane 's flaps were retracte d after takeoff , sai d Captain F oole. Papa India 's scheduled climb speed from Hea throw Airport , he sai d, was 177 knots. The autopilot was engaged at abou t 170 knots. Between autopilot engagement and flap retracti on the re was a further loss of two knots , total nine . After power reducti on at the noise-abatemen t level and flap retraction , the total error was about 20 knots. "After flap retrac tion , there was a further loss of indicate d air speed of 13 knots , which added up to a serious total loss of speed in the order of 21 knots " said Captain Poole. "At this point , the indicated air speed was close to a serious situation ". Captain Poole said he was confident that B.E.A. 's pilots were now very consc ious of the wing droop lever on Tridents. "I thin k there is no chance of wrong selection again or that there will be a malpract ice" , he said. The inquiry was adjourned until today. —( P.A.)
J OINT REPOS IT ORY F OR J im. BOOKS A T SANTR Y
THE LIBRARIES of Dublin University and Dublin Corporation have come to an arrangement to store over 1+ million books in a repository to be built on land belonging to the university at Santry. The project will cost around £300,000 and both organisations are currently seeking approval to make the money available. Discussions betwee n the university and the Corporation have been going on for some time and t hey have come to agreement on the plans for the repository. The books to be stored are volumes which are not usually needed by people using the libraries yet ta ke up an enormous amount of space. It is hoped to have the building completed and the rep ository in operation by 1974. If any of the stored books are reque sted they can be obtained by librarians from either orga nisatio n.

By Donal Musgrave THE Whidd y Island ' oir refin ery developers , Irish Hydro-Carbon Ltd. , have appeale d to the Minister for Local Government, Mr. Molloy, against 17 of the 58 conditions contained in the plan ning . permission grante d by Cor k Count y Council for the £55 "million project. The company 's appeal was submitted on Wednesday and . is in addition to 91 separate objections against the refinery by national and local groups , and . people living around Bantry Bay. According to the Government Information Bureau yesterday, I.H.C. contend that some of the conditions are too restr ictive, that others are unacce ptable and that | some require clarification. I.H.C , controlled . 'by Apco. a Californian oil group, is based at the ofices of Gerrard , Scallan and O'Brien , Solicitors , in St. Stephen 's Green, Dublin. The G.I.B. said that the Department of Local Government has not yet decided on a date or venue for the public inquiry to be held into the planning permission for the refinery. FIGHTING FUND Meanwhile , the most active local anti-refinery group, the Bantr y Bay ; Association, is busil y recruiting , members and raisi ng a fighting fund for the inquiry. The associ ation has already retaine d a Cork firm of solicitors , G. Y. Goldberg and Son , to present its case and Mr. Goldberg confirmed yesterday that he has been instructed to retain Mr. Eamonn Walsh , S.C.. for the association. Mr. Wals h is regarded as one of the bes t legal mind s in the country on pollution problems. He has already been engaged in pub l ic inquiries into the Cork smelte r, and the recent Pfizer effluent disposal dispute 'between the company and the Cork branch of An Taisce , representing the company interests on each occasion . The Bantry Bay Association is also retaining a leading petro¦chemical scientist from Britain.

LC.M.S.A. URGES DEATH DUTI ES CHANGE
By Our Agricultural Reporter THE IRISH Creamery Milk Suppliers' Association yesterday formed a pressure group to have the system of death duties cha nged.
Cork dental centre claim supported THE PRODUCTION of "irreleva n t ar guments " by the Higher Education [Authori ty on the future teaching o£ dentistry in Ireland was criticised in a sta temen t yesterday on behalf of the U.C.C. branch of the Uni on of Students in Ireland. Addressing the meeting of the Mr. John U.S.I. , in Limerick, Sadlier , pres ident of the Students Union at U.C.C, said that perhaps the most fri ghtening aspect of the H .E.A. case against the continuation of a dental school in Cork , was tha t it should hav e been produced b y such a body, which had been established to un dertake detai led studies and anal yses of the needs of hi gher edu cation and form ulate pol icies for its development. "Th is au gurs ill for the future of third level educat ion in this country, " said Mr . Sadlier. "We believe that their ar guments to terminate th e teaching of dentistrv in Cork an d to establish a sin gle nation al School of Dental Teachin g in Dublin , are totall y unjustified and based on claims which are unsubstantiate d and , in mos t cases, inaccurate. The recommendations of the H.E .A. are , in our opinion, far divorc ed from the presen t and futur e needs of bith dental teach ing and the dental profession in Ireland ."

Following an administrative council meeting of the organisation in Limerick , a spokesman announced that the I.C.M.S.A. had formed a special committe e to organise the opposition of rural and community organisations to the current level of death duties. Yesterday 's meeting strongl y condemned the present estate duties and held that they were a strong deterrent to the developmentof agriculture. The spokesman said fragmentation of Irish farms was widely recognised by the authorities as a major barrier to progress. Yet ,- estate duties formed one of the biggest causes of fra gmentation because many families had to sell part of thei r far ms to pay estat e duties , at a time when every effort shoul d be made to strengthen these holdings. Every possible step should be taken to alleviate this scrio-us problem. He said that the special committee set up yesterday would examine the problem , and it was decided to seek the support of other rural and community organisation , so that the stronge st pressure could be broug ht to bear on the authorities to have the present system altered.

Ireland was steadil y mov ing to a state where the rich wer e getting richer and the poor poorer , said Mr. Sean Sherwin , T.D- , when he commente d on the report of the Council for Social Welfare , which was published recently in The Irish He urged the peo ple to endorse the call that 1973 be civil rights • year , especially for the less welloff sections of the community, who did not ask for charity but simple ju stice . He welcomed the report and its recommendations and said it was not before its time. The hard work and research which went into the report would come to naught if the general public did not endorse its f indings . The Government could not ignore it , an d until the wealth of the nation, presentl y enjoyed by a few , could be seen to be redi rected to th e needy, we should not be surprise d if were described as hypocritical Christians. It was simpl y not tr ue to say that to be in need of help or to be classified as less well-off , was one ' s own fault . Everything pospisble should be done to spread the nation 's wealth j ustly and without discrimination , Mr . Sherwin said.
Seeing the infinite variety of young scientists' minds
By Dick Grogan AT THE R.D.S. in Dublin yesterday I met a girl who has no fear of spiders, and a boy who has successfully fed mussels with cheese and whey. There was a youth who had three drunken roosters, another with horrifying hand-drawn impressions of vampires, and a girl who warned others of the dire effects of wearing eye-shadow.
1973 year of civil rights for needy, says Sherwin
fuaded, will cost about £12,000 to !
run annuall y for the firs t few years. The land at Santry is part of tne prope rty owned by the university which has extensive playi ng fields there. T.C.Q. emphasises f hat the reposit ory site was not intended for playing fields but was set aside for such a project as that in hand. Planning perm ission will be requested when the financial arrangement s have been completed and full author isatio n has been received fro m the authorities of both organisations .
