Re: What the...?
It's not common, but it happens. A number of airlines have bizjets in their fleet and those airplanes sometimes use airline flight numbers rather than aircraft tail numbers. In general, 8000 or 9000 series flight numbers are reserved for non-revenue flying.

Re: Harrowing screams form Learjet pilot
And you'd be already established on final by then or you can be already at Vref and still have significant turns to make? (like base to final) (Sorry, I intended to ask at what point in the circuit pattern rather than what altitude, I realize that I was not clear) I can carry as much as Vref+15 if ...

Re: Airbus Fights Qatar
Among the things in which I am absolutely not an expert is commercial aviation business. But it just occurred to me that Boeing should develop 2 new times concurrently, like they did with the 757 and 767, except that this time it would be the new 737 and 757. The new 737 would return to the roots. ...

Re: Harrowing screams form Learjet pilot
If you have to do a pattern (be it an IFR circling approach or a VFR circuit pattern) that, for any reason (visibility, terrain, traffic) would not allow for a long final, what speed and flap / gear config would you have at each stage? In particular, at what point would you have the plane fully con...

Re: Harrowing screams form Learjet pilot
Couple words about circling in general. In the US, it's a fairly rare maneuver. Perhaps because it's not required very often, most runways with any significant amount of traffic in this country have at least one straight-in approach of SOME kind. Hence, I would imagine most professional pilots, exce...

ITS wanted to get us all worked up because we saw an MD-11 go around… He probably texted flyboy to be watching for the appearance of his genius airmanship on ad.info.

Re: Gabriel's Go-Around Song
No. Watch the first touchdown. Really carefully.Perhaps the reason why they didn't touch harder the first time is because they had already initiated the go around 1 or 2 seconds before touching down.

Actually, the Captain already had RF's highest award.Is not true.
Airplane struck by errant meteor. Valliant, skilled Russian crew steer plane away from school yard and nuclear plant. Pilots to receive glorious posthumous award.
