Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

Since you played the “serious” card, I ass-ume you feel Airbus logic generally is ok. Sure, Boeing guys will crack jokes and it’s probably not_as perfect as Evan thinks it is, AND a pilot must know and understand it well, but the logic generally sound. Your comments that if things get strange, “redu...

Bert and obscure gods...

Quote = Bert: I don't know how many type ratings you had in your aviation career. In my case it's been quite a few, but on no type rating I heard the instructor say during the first sim session: "I'm now going to show you how the A320 will kill you". A few minutes later we were dead. That...

Re: Railroad Thread

You know, I DO care about train braking, but maybe I’m more interested in making sure they work, versus improving their nominal performance. https://www.deseret.com/1998/10/17/19407483/st-louis-zoo-train-jumps-tracks-killing-its-engineer/ A total train disaster in Flyover: Brakes fail, engineer did ...

Airbus Whacko Conspiracy Movie, [i]there[/i]

The conversation takes an interesting detour. I found the movie interesting and JMAHO, making the spoilers absolutely, 100%, altogether, unavailable, seems like a bad idea. https://youtu.be/FZ5Ht_mhdrI?si=vD6ygmD-luc0zZA7 (Search: Airbus Fatal Flaw) Not_unlike a nose-over system that no one knows ab...

Re: Railroad Thread

Do they know that cars have had disc brakes for about half a century? I haven’t studied disc brakes on US passenger trains (they exist and work smoothly based on some train rides). But I suspect they are better than the crazy levers and rods and chains and God knows what else that transfers the pre...

Re: Railroad Thread

All you engineers do is complain.

What suggestions, albethem outsider suggestions, do you have to improve train braking?

Re: "Negative, Southwest, the pattern is full"

Everyone and their uncle was going around- wind shear, visibility.
Not quite. Only the smurfs went around. In fairness, Republic didn't even try.
Ah yes, the Evan hyperbole rule…There were a few go arounds taking place, so the weather might have been a little bit challenging…

***But this: in my opinion, the only thing that makes sense here is that the stick was let go, either accidentally or, possibly, the pilot thought they were already in flight mode, so the airplane would hold the pitch attitude it was at when the stick was let go.*** I have been in full BS-spewing-a...

I do have two beers that it’s at least 7 degrees of reduction. My 2 beers say no more than 5. Game? (we have a 2-degrees tie zone) NO DEAL. You said half of 7…if you are going to pick on me for ass-hat guesses, you don’t get to move the goal posts. I don’t want to beat this to death…they nosed over...

More red font. Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yes…

And I have to add “bad”.

Yeah, sure, bump the nose down…just not from 14 to 7 degrees in one continuous swoop, unless there’s some really weird winds…

Adding comments in red. BACK TO THIS INCIDENT: That was a hell of a nose over I don't agree. The nosewheel remained higher than main wheels all the time. What could have hapenned?
