Re: Biz jet overflies DC, Crashes in VA mountains
Right now, people are justifiably afraid of AI because it's very hard to characterize, and without being able to do that, AI is very hard to trust. And I am on board with that distrust... I think anything done with AI must be done very slowly and cautiously, until we have a better handle on how it ...

Re: Biz jet overflies DC, Crashes in VA mountains
With that in mind, please have mercy of my insolence for talking as if I knew more than I do. Insolence? Piffle. :-p Note that because I wasn't really following the chain of reasoning, if there was one, I posted some statements that I believe to be true and connected to the topic, in the hopes of c...

Re: Maintain healthy attitudes…
ah, so long before avh. The report is not very impressive. It spends a lot of time on irrelevancies (like overshooting the localizer) and concentrates on busted SOPs and CRM, while ignoring the fact that a competent pilot should be able to fly an unstable approach down to 500' AGL and go around with...

Am I right to be suspicious that the view outside is from considerably higher altitude than the plane whose cockpit we're seeing can probably reach?

Re: Tourist Sub Goes MH-17
One of the questions that's been raised was whether the hull was adequately inspected between dives. Last I remember the fatigue properties of carbon fiber aren't that well understood, and despite how rigid you can make a carbon fiber hull, in that pressure regime it's bound to flex a fair amount ea...

Re: Maintain healthy attitudes…
When did this happen? I can't find any coverage on avh.
Anyway, after the initial pitch-up upset it seems like classic PIO, and the interesting part will be why the PF allowed that pitch-up to happen. Maybe the stickshaker went off

Re: Those Whacky Britts…
I had been looking at regs a week or two ago because someone posted a link in another thread (at least, I think that was here ) and came across language that prohibited it. Which is why I thought it was prohibited. Unfortunately, I'm not likely to be able to find it again, and being only a pretend ...

Sure it is. Meteorite hits the carb, chokes the choke, you lose power suddenly...It is also not compatible with a meteorite strike.
Let's wait for the final report.

Re: Agplane augers in doing non-ag stuff, Blancolirio gets on his soapbox
I did not mean to imply I thought the original accident showed glaring incompetence. I was speaking generally and thinking more of stuff like https://avherald.com/h?article=4d39c0fe&opt=0 and perhaps https://avherald.com/h?article=4f700fec&opt=0 as well as the ever-popular "stall? pull_...

Re: Agplane augers in doing non-ag stuff, Blancolirio gets on his soapbox
In general, yes, but I guess the question is: given that in recent years there have been a number of fairly visible examples of pretty glaring incompetence ... what training/experience backgrounds do those come from? I don't know because, as I noted before, I haven't been paying attention. I suppose...

Re: Those Whacky Britts…
ATC really blew that one, but, also a classic case of a pilot not being assertive enough.
Also, if you are VFR-only aren't you already illegal if you're above unbroken clouds? Or is that only in the US and not in the UK?

Re: Agplane augers in doing non-ag stuff, Blancolirio gets on his soapbox
Show me in what % of airline accidents where pilot performance was a key factor to cause it or to fail to avoid it involved pilots with less than 1500 hours. I don't know, because I haven't been tracking it closely. But, I'd kind of argue that accidents where clear incompetence was a key factor (a ...

Re: This checks a lot of boxes.
Ref “They”: FWIW, the PNF maybe seems to notice they are low, while maybe the PF is THINKING he’s FDnH on a stabilized approach in weather that’s a fair bit better than the traditional 100 & 1,300 Corgis (200 ft, 0.5 miles) Maybe. Hard to tell without the exact CVR transcript... I am a little s...
