Re: Sliced in two, you say? Costa Rica 757



Please describe the nature of your dissatisfaction with his analysis. It does appear clear, concise and knowledgeably sourced.
He prefaces speculation with suitable language.

So, he started with "San Jose's Costa Rica Airport". I stopped listening after that.

Re: DC-9 -30-40-717-236A stuff.

He makes a point of making videos to answer questions nobody was asking. Not only that, his explanations suck. In this particular case, he never explains why Dial-a-Flap is preferable to just using the next higher flap setting, for example. Nor do I see any point in using 1/5th of a 3min video to ex...

Re: Dan Gryder Gray Area.

I conclude with a question to the group: does the NTSB do a so-so job on General Aviation crashes, and is Danny reasonable in his contentions that they kind of suck?
They do suck, but nowhere near as much as Dan does.

Because he doesn't know. I'll give him credit, though, at least he's not as painful to listen to as his pal Juan "777Captain" Blancorino, who sounds like he has motor aphasia,

Re: China Eastern 737 down

Tell me just one thing. Do you sincerely believe that the fact that 2 black boxes of a DC-9-32 that hit the ground almost vertically and almost at the speed of sound and survived* is not an indication at all regarding whether the black boxes of this 738 accident might have survived*? Or are you jus...

Re: China Eastern 737 down

Thank you for bringing up an accident that happened to an aircraft with black boxes built to the same crash, immersion and fire resistance standards.
Actually, no. The standards had changed between that DC9-32 and this 738. But you keep on keeping on, Gabito.

Re: China Eastern 737 down

Double post: Do we think the black boxes survived? I don't know, but there is a chance that they did. In 1997 there was a DC-9-32 accident where the pilots got a bad airspeed reading due to the pitot tubes getting iced up, but they thought they were really loosing speed. They added full thrust, the...

Besides, he is an airline captain charged with doing this kind of judgement calls. I am not. I can write as much as I want in an internet forum but that's as far as I can go.

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.
