I imagine that was far from the most ridiculous comment on AvHeraldie today.

Like, for example, by not being ridiculous at all?

Apparently the pylon was still basically attached to the wing, making this a bit different from AA-191. (Evanie) No, no and No. The FAA confirmed that the pylon stayed mostly with the engine. That makes it possibly similar that AA-191 (possibly, because imagine there is more than 1 way that that ca...

Senior moment, Monchie? As a general rule, planes with 3 or more engines have a flight engineer, so: 1. Pilot flying the thing. 2. Pilot doing radios & navigation. 3. Engineer sits behind them sideways with no yoke, but a huge panel of gauges, switches and they monitor all sots of stuff. https:...

2. We know the basic details of both crashes and don’t need your detailed description of them. And then: I’m confident that excellent, engine out procedures were followed on both. Proving that, oh the irony, you are wrong on both points. But since you (plural, according to you) don't need my detail...

That is a very hard watch. Sobering stuff. I am equally disturbed that they probably performed excellently and spent a few seconds confident that their redundant airplane and good procedures would be giving them a great landing and paid time off. ...just like the crew of AA191. :( We will never kno...

As a side note, 3WE, you can clearly that it was wings level until the impact. Let's wait until the final report, but I will speculate that these pilots did a tremendous job. Saving it was just beyond the laws of nature. Gabriel: I think you are misunderstand and it’s a multi dimensional thing. Not...

That image is genuine*, it is a still from this dashcam video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/G5oVhuHe9Ko And yes, no question that the engine missing (not so sure about the pylon one way or another). As a side note, 3WE, you can clearly that it was wings level until the impact. Let's wait until the...

Some talking heads have said that the imbalance from the engine falling off, caused the bank. Then others of us say no, that means the light weight wind dropped. Evan/Gabriel moment….Try the balance of power, weenies… …and probably a V-whatever it is to keep going straight and possibly an eventual ...

And yet, you felt qualified to make strong, authoritative statements about it. Classic Gabriel...

Fixed.

What?

And yet, you felt qualified to talk about it. Classic Gabriel...

What?

Entirely possible, but that is hardly clear from his post since the NAP and FCOM are mentioned in separate paragraphs. Agree it was not written clearly, but at least for me it was clear from the context. And I am not the best at that. It bears mentioning that if the NAP does not agree with the FCOM...

That is not what he is saying. Read again:

Europe = theatre specific. see noise abatement procedures for the various airports.

A320 FCOM (or any other planes FCOM, OM, TM etc.) doesn't apply since it's not engine or type specific.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but we are aware of the double reference to the view and health of our beautiful planet from outer space… …often used by Evanie ? I was aware of that one but not the double . I was not aware of the other meaning. The one in plural. Kind of the kid with the yellow ...

Congratulations and thank you for your datapoint. I have heard it, and read it.

Congratulations to you for listening to and reading yourself.

I didn't contribute to the Wikipedia page or asked about it in reddit. Someone else must have have heard and read it too.

Brill-yunt!

Me, English as a second language, googles blue balls.

I have mixed feelings about this one, and I'd really like to hear the opinion of a pro pilot that operates in the US in airports arrival and departures tightly packed together, on intersecting runways like BOS or SFO, or on a single runway like SAN. On one hand, I have the "nothing to see, keep...

How many *** BOIENG *** 707 are out there? We have the "Dash 80", the 707 proper, the 707-DC-8, the Convair 707-880... What else?

Digressing, It is interesting that "knot" is one of the very few (maybe the only one?) single-word units that we have for speed. We have "Mach" too, but that's not a speed but a ratio of speeds. And warp . Please don't forget warp . Not even that. Warp, like Match, is a dimensio...

That "strangeness" causes a common mistake": That some people says "80 knots per hour", I have NEVER heard anyone say "knots per hour." Congratulations and thank you for your datapoint. I have heard it, and read it. Not a lot, but several times. And if you google ...

Ok, this is nerdy but interesting (at least I find it so) I BELIEVE it has something to do with knots tied in a rope. It does, but the knots in the rope is kind of the reverse-engineered version of the nautical miles per hour. It is the origin of the word knot to refer to the unit of speed of 1 naut...

knots I recognize the " k " for " kilo " and the " s " for "per second ". What are the rest of the letters for? (I hope Not_for Not_Karl...) k stands for nautical n stands for miles o stands for per t stands for hour and the s is just the plural. You are welc...

How much is that in corgis?

Don't be silly. It's a seeped, length over time. Like corgis per nanomillenium.

I almost vomit just from watching the video. And is the lady in the left seat smiling. or even grinning, all the time?

In other news, we* are debating budgets. Not really. The Dems are willing to approve the budget IF the Reps are willing to cancel a law that will triple the cost of health insurance for poor people, after they already cancelled Medicaid for millions, while lowering taxes for the rich, which is my o...

At least it's Not_La Elección Presidencial. But Señor Trumpo is interested...

Did we win?

We (the people) always lose, no matter who wins.

Granted. Maybe the question is, was this the least-bad lose?
