Re: Caravan Crash Credentials Connundrum

Nuances: You choose to gloss over my inclusion of the word basically. It’s a gray concept that you and Evan struggle with, but kind of key nuance to this concept. Ocelot did say wing drop. Acknowledged, she (as long as we’re claiming nuances), did not_say spin. But again Evan, you stall a plane, an...

Re: Caravan Crash Credentials Connundrum

That is a stall. (Spare me the nuances). Ok, that is ONE description of a stall. I'll go even further and say that that's the most common description of a stall. In that sense, I agree that one wing can "stall" before the other. But I will also say that (sorry if this a nuance), even with...

Re: Caravan Crash Credentials Connundrum

I want to be clear: You are “taking this back”? Momentarily. Until I understand the "nuances" in Ocelot's thoughts. A stall is a rather sharp, significant loss of lift, caused by the sudden separation of smooth airflow across the top of the wing around the magical 16-degree +/- angle of a...

Re: Caravan Crash Credentials Connundrum

There is no secret I am trying to hide here. And actually I wrote and deleted a response (by the magic of deleting your comment BEFORE submitting). This was the exchange Ocelot: Doesn't seem entirely consistent with stalling one wing. Gabe: "stalling one wing" almost never happens. Ocelot:...

Re: Evan Mentality

His only point was not use it as an "on demand" tool to correct a screwed-up too-high approach that was not planned like that, unless you cannot go around which would be the preferred option to fix that. I am not sure I 100% agree with that, but that's a different discussion. Real life is...

Re: Evan Mentality

Maybe it’s arguably correct, conversely it’s a useful tool that maybe ought to be practiced occasionally so it can be used when needed. Why "conversely"? That is EXACTLY what he is saying. So if he is correct, THEN it IS a useful tool that must be practiced regularly by nothing less than ...

Re: Caravan Crash Credentials Connundrum

Dropping a wing because you stall one side first does happen.
Dropping a wing is a stall-related situation does happen... a lot.
That doesn't mean that one wing is stalled and the other is not.

Re: Interesting (recent) total air disasters

An unidentified person in one of the cars on I-75 was seriously injured, according to the FAA.
I concede that ‘serious’ is a broad term that does not necessarily equal life-threatening.
That's still worse than what I thought. I thought there had been only minor injuries on the ground.

Re: Interesting (recent) total air disasters

I turned on Dan Juan . He reviewed much. My takeaway was and live ATC: 5 miles out, everything seemed fine. A minute later, “we’re landing on the interstate”. Strange deal. And they did not run out of fuel. In any case, until we know more, these pilots are provisionally heroes in my mind. They real...
