To sum up...if you had a bad RAT probe and thus bad info to the Thrust Rating Panel, you would end up with an incorrect EPR value to set for takeoff. On the other hand, if you had a bad PT2 probe, the TRP would give you a good takeoff thrust setting, but the EPR values being displayed would be erro...

Perhaps an earlier post was referring to the DDA40X ...

Perhaps.

It's good to see FB posting the aviation forum.

Won't last.

Indeed and concur.

You are getting unbanned all over the place!

I can most definitively state that that flyboy is not me.

My IQ is only high enough to know where I want to hang out, as opposed to where you are allowed to hang out.

Even that's probably an exaggeration.

If you assume a that your initial takeoff attitude is going to be somewhere around 18-20 degrees nose up with all engines operating, then the rotation period should take around 6-10 seconds (again, using a 2-3 degree/sec rate). If you count off 1 potato, 2 potato, 3....etc. you realize that 6 to 10...

Why? 1/4 of compressor or turbine disk aimed in the right direction would make it way through the fuselage and to the other engine without much effort and with minimal damage (compared to "to saw the tail off"). Something similar happened to a Delta MD-88 in Florida a few years back. It d...

I recently found out why it's bad if a woman is known as "DD40X2".

i think you forced their arm on that one when you say the leadership saw to it.... I don't think so, Giles. That was all ZeroIntellect's idea. I believe, his exact words were "I'm just having fun with forum settings" or something to that effect. I also believe the terms is "force one...

Hey, maybe you can help us out by elevating the collective IQ of the Spanair thread. Wait. You can't. Never mind.

It looks like even DummyPilot who is presently a Captain on the aircraft type involved is steering clear.

Also, we always have to be careful that we don't take our forum too seriously, even though the collective IQ and discussion level pwns some other boards.

That says a lot more about those "other boards" than about your extremely high IQ, 3BS.

It is true my post may have been a little long but but message was quite simple - it was a call for you to move from caustic one-liners to a civil discusion sharing with us something of your knowledge and experience. It would be impossible for someone with the the (contrived) forum persona you've d...

I really must demand better attention to detail or this board will go downhill fast. (Oh wait, nevermind...)

Never mind is right.

We all have our preferences FB...some like boxes...some don't.

Uh-huh.

So they're equipped with handcuffs, then?

Sidearms, too.

I'm surprised to see a wine "expert" who seems to prefer boxed wines.

Those aren't soldiers, they're police, but your point stands.

Five.

how about a lounge pass?

I'm even more powerless there. Perhaps Donny the Wrench might let you use his.

Same here, but I will take back everything i said bad about you FB if you can help get me on an earlier company flight instead of waiting 8 hours in LAX.

Sorry, Giles, can't help you there. Perhaps, DummyPilot can be of assistance, he is known for being far more helpful that I.

I bet you, if this becomes standard, we will see a teacher shooting a student within the next 5 yrs.

Based on what undeniable evidence?

logic and reason and discussion are not in flyturds vocabulary or capabilities. He is hell bent on entering a flame war with everyone he can. I think he is a carbon copy of Giles Not sure who should be more insulted, me or Giles. BTW, I'd be willing to bet that my vocabulary is far more extensive t...

You do not really want to discuss careers with me, sonny. You'll lose big time.

If what you've "accomplished" is the measure of a winner, I'll take that as a compliment. End of story.
