Re: Oooops YouTube of the month...
It's difficult to say definitively from the video, but unless the clouds suddenly closed in from behind too, it looks like he could have turned around or circled. You could see those clouds coming for a while (as Gabriel noted). Easier (and legal-er) to look up frequencies and file a flight plan / r...

Ideally you have an IFR clearance ahead of entering IMC, too...Not sure this dude made bad decisions...yeah, ideally you use pitot heat ahead of time.

Re: Bonanza Crash 1,231,352
I assume they departed one of the 10 runways. Power loss on takeoff there is unlikely to work out great even if impeccably handled. https://www.google.com/maps/place/North+Perry+Airport/@26.0021615,-80.2574978,7223m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88d9ab9b3529a797:0x50d2b626a454bae3!8m2!3d26.0021615!4d-80...

Re: Bonanza Crash 1,231,352
The location is literally the outside of the airport fence so they weren't doing exercises - it's a problem / failure on departure and attempted turnback.
I'm kinda inured to GA pilots (who accept the risks) getting hurt but fatalities on the ground, especially kids... ...ugh.

Ah, thanks J - hadn't read that. So this was indeed a contained failure.

Re: United B777-200 uncontained engine failure? over Denver
Does anyone already know what struck the wing root underneath the wing? When I saw those pictures I assumed that this was uncontained in the technical sense.

Re: United B777-200 uncontained engine failure? over Denver
Probably not a coincidence (failure more likely to occur under takeoff / climb power), but from a pucker factor perspective I'd be awfully glad that didn't happen way out over the Pacific.

Re: Ju-Air Junkers Ju-52 crash in Switzerland
Not that this crash might be the result of some negligence. Certainly was! The report is damning of both the operator and the crew, and makes clear that the crew was trained well enough to know better. Yeah, STSB's review of operations found that the crews apparently disregarding procedure were pri...

Re: Indonesian 737 down?
You don't even have to stall for asymmetric thrust (re "autothrottle on one engine") to cause an upset if corrective inputs aren't applied.

Re: Indonesian 737 down?
Gabriel - I think you're assuming the two facts (that the FDR data has been downloaded and that inspections have been ordered) are related. Besides appearing in the same paragraph in an Avherald story is there any reason to think that? Ordering extra inspections / determining compliance on previous ...

Not much choice besides air to get around in the Indonesian archipelago, but I can't say I'd relish the prospect.

Re: No one died
Part of me wants to say, "he was doing everything right" by not pushing the approach below minimums...conversely, if you are out of gas, maybe that's time to bust minimums. Yeah, I think if your options are follow the ILS below mins to a large piece of unobstructed concrete with emergency...

Re: Indiana Jones and the Safety Statistics of Hobby Flying
P.S. Are DL now at the 'coincidence' stage for failing to put fully-functional MD-88s on LGA RWY13?Once is bad luck. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
