Default Eagle returns to DFW

American Eagle Flight Turns Around, Comes Back to DFW | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

So what, we have a rudder missing light now?

A cousin was on the flight, she says they definitely felt something that wasn't turbulence. She says the real melt down was handling the folks after they got back to the terminal. One rep to deal with a full boat for a couple hours. They finally got two more reps but it was 4 hours before they told her she'd be on a flight 24 hours later.

Wait... An hour into a 01:45 flight, and they go back to the destination? If that's being reported correctly that action seems borderline idiotic.

Plane was airborne for 25 minutes total, including the return to DFW.

Then the reporter screwed up. Good plan of action.

It's adjacent to and slightly above the "Wing Off Light" on the center console.

Boy, RHIP, only the skipper gets a seat pad, I assume the rear joy stick is for the crane and not a back seat driver......

I guess it would be under the "Elevator Gone" light. But is it a red light or only amber?
