TMAHO, making the spoilers absolutely, 100%, altogether, unavailable, seems like a bad idea.

It looks like they rotated AFTER they crossed runway 10, so I doubt landing traffic wake was an issue. But after they hit the ground the vortices move laterally away from each other at a speed of a couple of knots, and can take a few minutes to dissipate, especially in light wind conditions. That i...

Not aviation but avian, which is spelled similarly: https://www.sadanduseless.com/kfc-meme/ Are you sure those ChickenPhotos are fake ? They look exactly how I imagine fast food chains . I think it may depend on the time of day. Right. The images are fake at some times bout not at others.

An engine cowling?

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. But what about the initial inability t...

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) I don’t want to beat this to death…they nosed over, sunk, pulled up and I think touched the tires…I’m not_giving them the style points. I don't think that the tires tou...

Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see: - A 14 degrees nose up to begin with (you taught me that it would have struck the tail). - A 7 degrees reduction in pitch (I would say half that). - A huge sink rate that would have resulted in a too hard touchdown had they not pitched up again. - A ...

I seem to recall that lift is proportional to AOA That's incorrect, unless you you seat your zero AoA angle at the zero lift, which almost nobody does. , so going from 14 degrees ANU to 7 degrees = a 50% reduction in lift (assuming airspeed and relative wind is the same.) It's pretty damn significa...

Read that headline and was going to post it here, but forgot. I took it as "...the engine's fuselage detaches from a Boeing...", but I prefer Google Translate's interpretation.

Fixed. Credit where credit is due.

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? That they touch down before they climb again? Like in the Air Moroco case? Have you seen that video? (that I posted the link I don't remember i...

I saw Gabbieee cite stall protection You are ready for the news outlet. You've got all the misleading quotes skills required. That was not the only thing I cite…. [A, B, C, D…] It’s called hitting the high points, instead of a comprehensive review of possibilities… You should try it sometime. For a...

You guys got all wrong!!!

The moment the fuselage detaches from the engine of a Southwest Airlines Boeing plane

The displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as reverse thrust is applied.

Fixed

If only we could ask a smaller , but still HALed 'Bus driver for his knowledge and opinion ! You can. Only in one specific forum because questions to airline pilots regarding aviation safety belong to the airline pilot forum, not the aviation safety forum. Be sure to follow the type-specific SOP co...

I saw Gabbieee cite stall protection You are ready for the news outlet. You've got all the misleading quotes skills required. That was not the only thing I cite. Rather, it was an afterthought question in parenthesis. I don't know what if anything the crew did wrong (they might be the cause for thi...

As I'm still Not_completely sure if bridges or ships are the ones at fault, I was thinking of equipping them both with nukes to destroy each other. But airbags could also work, yes. https://www.csun.edu/~hfmgt001/lighthouse.htm ...seems to be generally acknowledged as not_true, but funny nonetheles...

A couple of VasAviation videos on that too. One is the classical ATC stuff, the other one is an analysis.

Tower really feared for their own lives, the plane was headed straight to the tower at about tower altitude.

Couple of things to mention. - To start to move form zero you have a quite a bit of static friction to overcome. It takes much more power / force to just barely start moving than it takes to keep moving and even accelerating at slow speed (as can be seen in these videos). - For traction you only hav...

I saw that one... talk about a need for a TOPMS... :roll: Kidding aside, I remember in flight training more than once my instructor basically saying not to freak out if a door pops open... "An open door is not an emergency". Well, if you open it and tie it to the strut maybe... The Tomaha...

[Gabriel links to some brake systems] You are not_addressing the question. Your links are to systems already developed. No acknowledgement that electrical control might be needed for faster response. I don't know. I don't even know why the trains of the accident in question decelerated between extr...

Several disjointed thoughts: The hell-better Aeroengineer has not offered suggestions, just complaints. 1872 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Air_Brake_Company#Plain_automatic_air_brake Maybe our current braking needs to be as it is to prevent derailments/damage which do sometimes happen....

How come a sedan, a 18 fully loaded wheeler and a 747 can stop in about the same distance from say 50MPH? Because they're not boats? :mrgreen: Yeah, boats (or planes in the air) is an entirely different kind of braking. But trains at 50MPH, with wheels rolling on a solid surface, is kind of similar...
