In-House Aviation Technology

During the preparation of the aviation law firm's United 585 and USAir 427 cases, both involving crashes of a Boeing 737, a 737 tail and rudder power control unit sat in Schaden, Katzman, Lampert & McClune's hangar. There to investigate the causes of each crash, senior partner Richard Schaden put together a test rig to determine how the hydraulics in the rudder power control units worked.

This is just one example of many demonstrating the firm's use of its engineers, pilots, in-house instrumentation equipment, and the most recent technologies to reconstruct increasingly complex aviation accidents.

Because the firm owns a fleet of both jet and propeller aircraft, our aviation lawyers are able to fly themselves to crash sites, shoot the airport approaches so often questioned by crash site investigators, and study the airports and surrounding areas. Like piecing together a puzzle, such investigative measures are critical to aviation accident reconstruction.
