Never mind the crash…

Am I the only one tragically laughing that Dan Gryder seems to have stolen the warning light from the stack?

Kludge, duct tape, work-arounds…

I hate to be such a naive, weenie outsider, but wouldn’t it be easier to adapt a 787 wing to a 757 and forget about MCASSING and low-rider hydraulic lift kits?

It can’t be that hard to redesign the 757 lavs to be more tiny.

Re: F.A.O.: 3WE

…and TeeVee asked a most-awesome lawyer question: “Has Evan ever screwed the pooch on anything?” (Or as I like to say, has he ever fallen off his bicycle…something that gives most of us a little perspective on being human).

Re: An interesting theory

I’m, I think you mean 2/15 (or 2/13) increase in density altitude. …and factor in whatever the stack is spewing- water is lighter than oxygen, thus less lift when you shove it down. I still think that’s a bit far fetched…yeah, they said she got a little slow. Additionally, hot gasses form updrafts…y...

Re: Not_Delta 191

… I've forgotten all the details anyway :-( Pretty simple: Delta 191 hit a horrendous wind shear and crashed, even though the pilots commented that they were probably going to lose airspeed suddenly…and hell-better aeroengineers said the plane could have remained airborne. The industry then recogni...

Re: An interesting theory

1. I infer that Dan Juan stole the light bulb? IMHOAHO, he is bat shit certifiably crazy and needs to be banned. 2. I call bullcrap that a sudden density altitude increase caused a loss of altitude. 3. One might cite procedures, that she was more than one dot low, and that maybe 98 feet is adequate ...

One more question:

Is it sort of a bad idea to slightly nose over in your last 200/100 whatever feet of altitude? (Yes, size matters)

Re: Pontificating on hard landings...

I think the "by the book" answer for airliners is very simple: if you bounce, you go around. Period. Holy [obscure god]. Who is sending out Evan-black-and-white nanoprobes? Have you ever done ANY fence perving? Watched landing YouTubez? Bounces (albethey small) are not_uncommon for airlin...

Pontificating on hard landings...

Part 1: I have a genuine question: ARGUABLY, and from the vantage point of a keyboard, should LH-B'747's guys maybe just "salvaged" the bounce instead of going around? You don't necessarily have great airspeed and engine power right then, so why fight getting those things back when you are...

Bernt says you’re wrong.

This is an odd one, for sure. I've watched the video several times now in hopes of getting a clearer view not of the aircraft's attitude but of control surface positioning, specifically if the elevators were ever deflected downwards. The video is not very clear but it does NOT appear that elevators...
