Re: Pontificating on hard landings...

I think the "by the book" answer for airliners is very simple: if you bounce, you go around. Period. I have never seen a book that said such a thing. Normally the recommendation is in a small bounce don't lower the nose, hold the pitch. In a big bounce or long float following a bounce go ...

Re: Carritos de alas

It can actually take off and land on its single wheeled landing gear too. Probably no antiskid though.

Re: SMRFS Del Sur?

Not Gabriel’s type.
Not my airplane type. I love the maneuver. I hope I can do one (or many) someday.

As much as I hate the unintentional stalls that often end in spin-crash-burn-dieded, I love intentional, conservative, well executed (according to the SOP) stalls and spins.

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

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.

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

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...

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

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...

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

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 ...

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

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.

Re: New video.

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