I'd ask flyboy if he felt there was any airbus logic he thought was really wrong, but I believe his response will be: Better cooling on the brakes. (Shit, we're back to braking again).

Better cooling would be nice, but that's not an "Airbus logic issue".

Do you know the case I am talking about?

In case he doesn't.

I'm well-aware, thanks.

But what about the initial inability to climb? Do you agree that the plane was abnormally struggling to climb? Not really, no. Looks about right for a heavy 343 to me. They were going to Cancun, so probably fairly bulky. What about wake vortex from a plane landing in the intersecting runway shortly...

Everyone and their uncle was going around- wind shear, visibility.

Not quite. Only the smurfs went around. In fairness, Republic didn't even try.

Sometimes.

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 ...

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...

Perhaps this is Slavic superstition on my part, but I was never a fan of naming things after living people.

Hard to say who would want to buy it. It isn't really near anything, other than a muddy bend in the Missouri River.

In fairness, isn't that true of all of St Louis?

Nevertheless, thanks for checking in.

You're welcome. As a reminder, if you have a question for me, there is a section for that.

Is there a question there somewhere?

Question to flyboy: Do you see these taxiway changes from numerous, frequently angled taxiways to a more regular, 90-degree crossing as an important, much-needed improvement.

Not really, I prefer high-speed taxiways, generally speaking.

I watched a couple of her remaining videos, and what struck me was not her "lack of knowledge", but that I felt like her heart was never in any of this. She did not seem to especially like neither that airplane, nor flying in general. Believe it or not, I agree with you. Also, he seems to...

We have a procedure for that.

I would hope that Flyboy's Air Bus activates the fire suppression FOR him so he is free to check in with the Jetphotos Safety Forum.

The Airbus has GUARDED SWITCHES. I recall, Evan the Expert being obsessed with those, too.

Not all airplanes have fire handles that are to be pulled.

PLEASE someone tell me that I am an idiot that I am not understanding a word of what he is saying!!!!
Come on Flyboy, you should have no problem doing that.

I'm sorry, what exactly is it that you're not understanding?

It's long been said that a man who represents himself in a court of law has a fool for a lawyer.

I flew on an LH 343 from FRA to BOS last week. The flaps retracted fine.

I'd recognize that tail anywhere.....

....I don't recognize the aft right emergency exit which never existed

Holy Hydraulics! Nav5!

Couple things. On the one hand, the Electra has an old-style monochromatic radar that probably wasn't terribly useful for picking out individual cells. On the other hand, this happened during daylight, so it's not like they didn't have a visual on the weather. The part about "everyone deviating...

No.

Because…?

Because it looks like they simply misjudged their altitude. Doesn't look like a "spin" either.

I have not had the pleasure to fly into or around that crap. I am writing this from Baltimore where it appears clear and a million, more or less.

Aw well, Flyboy, Dummy or ITS may have flown somewhere today, if it’s one of their two days/month that they work.

Oddly enough, I'm in Miami today.
