Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by moorouge on 05-29-2014 01:27 AM The Mission Report for Apollo 10 goes through the possible causes in section 15.2.14. It concludes - <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]It is, therefore, concluded that the anomaly was caused by the [b]inadvertent[/b] cycling of the abort guidance mode control switch, followed immediately by an incorrect output of the yaw rate gyro. In diagnosing the yaw rate gyro problem and in reacting to it, the abort guidance mode switch was transferred to the AUTO position, resulting in high vehicle rates during the staging sequence.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> Does 'inadvertent' equate with 'pilot error'?
