The world is crying its a terror event, but we won't know till the final report.

Indeed- the ass-hat speculative conclusions seem much stronger than normal.

...the plot thickens... Today, I see inferences that this is a worker-inspired slowdown with political and funding motivations. Monchavo may have to move this to the political forum ...I'm suspecting this will improve the approval ratings for a certain US candidate for El Presidente.

Or possibly something much more basic like a shorted or stuck switch? I imagine the FDR probably records whether the pilot(s) were commanding trim movement (as opposed to the command coming from some sort of automatic system) but I doubt it has the ability to detect whether someone was actually app...

...the nose-down trim operated for 12 seconds...

Dare I suggest a $20 word? "Microsleep" (no, not as a single, primary cause, but as something that's kind of plausible and potentially significant).

Carries more buttocks.

Thus, the pilots feel they should share the additional income when they twist autopilot knobs.

Please avoid relentless pull ups and pay attention to procedures, I'd hate to have my tomato plants smashed and burned. Kerosene, fire and smoke is a good pesticide... or so they say. We have an important insider $20 word: Selectivity. Ass hat outsider speculation, logic and assumption may provide ...

I wonder what, if any, was your answer to that comment.

I'm sure he said something to the effect that, "My discussion-forum friends Gabby and 3BS and Obscure Aviation Typists magazine say that we should be doing more hand flying, not less."

PS, 3WE, if you see Maddog headed into flyover INTERNATIONAL airport in the next couple hours, wave hi Fixed for proper ironing . And darn, I am out_standing in my fields and not underneath your downwind leg today. Please avoid relentless pull ups and pay attention to procedures, I'd hate to have m...

I've been meaning to say this... I don't like our new livery. The bullet hole (or is it the procedure for making a smoking hole in the ground?) for "AD- dot -info" just doesn't do it for me. It really needs to be a Jetphoto...I don't care about the sharpness, nor dust spots, but good compo...

...pretty significant, pretty wide-spread waits on somewhat mundane travel days too!

We need to do something!

Southwest Airlines Co. pilots, frustrated after four years of unsuccessful contract talks, asked the carrier to guarantee it won’t force them to fly Boeing Co.’s newest 737 before the plane is negotiated into a new agreement for the 8,000 workers. Adding the 737 Max before it’s listed in a labor de...

Also: I'm anxiously waiting for the opportunity to use my new favourite English phrase, "I hate to pee in your cornflakes".

You may be off topic. Please see Monchie's culinary thread.

Not sure if your video shows much in terms of identifying potential causes. According to a talking head this AM, "It appeared as if something broke on the airplane causing it to suddenly go out of control." I wonder what the count is up to now for air show crashes where something broke on ...

For the record, I am aware that the Flight aware has a few inaccuracies with respect to weather and aircraft location. And mildly surprised that our 50,000 hour pilot took the bait. In his defense, I'm sure that boxes don't check their smart phones and question their pilots regarding storm avoidance.

...Another great article from Weigel describing a career path very similar to mine...

Did your IOE check pilots comment that "you sure like to hand fly"?

Damn...I just let my subscription lapse.

I am heartbroken to miss Lesstature's story of genius airmanship.

P.S. It's Obscure Aviation Typists.

I just don't think Evan can appreciate something like this.

A soft picture of a smooth, super genius approach .

En La Sombra would not do it any other way. (I like the Spanish version of his name even better than the English one).

caught the Blue Angels practicing for tomorrow's air show. Nice ! Did they appear to be following procedures , or were flying cowboyishly ?

Planted some veggies in the garden. Did you damage the environment in any way? Indeed . Pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are involved, as is the raping of the soil with greenhouse-gas-producing rototillers. Plus, my mere existence as a human is bad for the environment. ...That being said, my im...

Mostly sunny, deep blue skies and 75F. Planted some veggies in the garden. Drove past the Spirit of Flyover airport and caught the Blue Angels practicing for tomorrow's air show. I maintained decent SA and did not have a total driving disaster.

In spite of the extreme addiction to Nair, for some reason, those people cannot comprehend the concept of "take it easy".

Check engine, you have lost a major portion of your flywheel* which may result in severe, damaging vibrations?

*or is that the cooling fan?

It's too bad our friend from the other forum isn't here to explain to us why the *real* cause of this is the fact the aircraft was an outdated, non-FBW, and therefore UNSAFE model. 8-) Not too long ago, flyAirbusboy made a somewhat heartless post about the 'true DC-9' 15-50s needing to be put out t...
