It would appear that the whole story is a lot like the jetphoto : https://www.snopes.com/flight-crew-takes-knee/ I recall those MSFS adventures ...it might be fun to program one to walk off a plane . I do think that the ironing remains good . At least Snopes has a far better cropping of the MSFSPho...

I saw a few rudder reversals, AND it appeared that there was inadequate aileron input as the upwind wing lifted up, imparting who-knows-what side loads on the gear! One does wonder how resilient those big tundra tires are to lateral loads , if they add drag and change the handling characteristics o...

Not_Karlie.. ..3WEEE Not_Karlie 3)Wasn't any of the players, technical staff, etc. proficient enough on MSFS and/or XPlane to take charge of the plane ? Flyboy did not invent the phrase "guaranteed a fiery death", It was in fact Dummy Pilot in the thread "Can a Dummy Land an airliner...

Thoughts: 1)So they stood-up against kneeling ... 2)It would have been way more funny -and relevant to this forum - if they had l eft the plane (or at least the cockpit) mid flight . 3)Wasn't any of the players, technical staff, etc. proficient enough on MSFS and/or XPlane to take charge of the plan...

Another good landing.

According to an Argentinian newspaper , the pilot " nearly caused a real tragedy ", " put 200 passengers at risk " and passed " very few meters from the zones of the (control) towers and parked airplanes " in an " abrupt ", " risky ", " dangerou...

PS- Can't figure out why this is a VIDEO...I played it and it's a silent and still picture. Maybe he's also dumb * and motor-handicapped . *as in "unable to speak". But, being a pilot, the other meaning also applies... Honest question: What's the current, correct way to refer to a mute pe...

Beautiful!

there's something special about that purple. CONCUR. ...and let's not forget the classic (and truthful) comment: Should it do a loop or barrel roll, it would say, "WOW, MOM, WOW!" (exclamation point is inferred) Pertinent Mother's Day decoration at a nearby English-language-only bookstore...

Well... Pilots are stupid, ATC guys are stupid. The only thing missing here was a stupid, violent, tiny genitaled cop.

For some reason, I'm looking forward to see this event discussed there...

Evanie:

(..)And those oleo struts are taking more F because of it.(...)

So, if I understand correctly, the oleo struts are F'd?

I never had the joy of the Big-Wheel-spin out, but going fast, turning hard and placing significant side-loads on the rear main's was part of the experience. Do they come with fringes and a heavy object hanging (hopefully not from the brake lever) on/from the handle to guesstimate airspeed , angle ...

You send Evanie first to ride his tricycle hard, and then downhill with bumps and curves on a bicycle, without proper in-type retraining. Are you trying to total-cycle-disastering him?

Woops, wrong "F.A.O." thread.

I feel like we've seen this before, one entire stage of an engine getting up and going walkies. But i can't remember when or where.

This total fan blade and engine inlet disaster?
Or this one?

Please note: You should not move from right to left rudder inputs (or vice versa) without pausing at neutral.

Concur. It's a miracle that the whole cheap-composite-tail didn't snap off.

I was expecting a near/total air disaster, 737 style. Was deeply disappointed.

I don't know what my favorite part is.

DC9-15?

Yes!

Retractable steps?

no

Beautiful smoky early JD-8Ds?

YES!!!!!

The great soundtrack?

NO

"The time you save will be spent at the TSA line".

(Given that this happened on BOTH flights, I wonder if I actually just rode ONE crappy composite Flyboymobile but rode it twice.

Aren't those cheap-composite-sometimes-without-climate-controlled-cargo-bins-crackerboxes discarded after each flight?

I looked for vents that would route heated air to the rear cargo compartment and found none...doesn't mean it doesn't go there, but I still have my doubts about how effective 'passive' air movement into an area that contacts the negative-really-ass-cold outside temperatures actually is. Did you ask...

3WE : Ok, how would you do that? (I think someone asked you that already): -Zip-tie them? -Tazer them? -Shoot them with tranquilizer darts? -Offload everyone and fill the cabin with a gentle, FDA-approved, non-allergenic, no-side-effect anesthetic? -Totally back off and just let them live in the pl...

Elawie, there:

I think if you examine the statistics, if you want to enhance safety you'd be much better off banning humans.

Concur. ESPECIALLY from the cockpit.
