As I shallowed out the descent, I also started adding thrust, then started turning back inbound. As it turned out, I added a tad too much thrust, because at 500' I was at three white/one red on the VASI, and the Captain called out "Ref+25!" I'm proud to say that without skipping a beat I ...

Not really Qantas troubles, but an interesting read nevertheless http://www.atsb.gov.au/media/5092920/ao ... _final.pdf

OMG... I was just doing some searching on "TBM-900 cabin pressure" and found this article by obscure aviation writer Les Abend: http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/06/opinio...ash/index.html It is more than a little suspicious that the entire forum feigns ignorance of the fact that "Les Abend...

Todays accident report is brought to you by the number 292

Turns out you can do an intersection take-off in an A380 and be off the ground before the next intersection (MEL 34), and then proceed to 410 it.

Pity the on-board wifi isn't good enough to allow you to post to ad.info whilst you are up there.

Electricity is cheating

There was a mistake in the report. It should have read...

Crew: 3.95

... In all seriousness, I was initially surprised that this situation was allowed to occur, but then how different is it to a pilot getting cramp in their arm at precisely the wrong moment.

Wouldn't take much for all these audio warning to be multi-lingual.

Big oceans, much water, things takes time. Per Not long after MH370 disappeared, a small homebuilt biplane disappeared off the coast of NZ. Today, a trawler hauled in their nets and instead of finding fish or squid (I said squid just for Sickbag), they found they had pulled up the wreckage of this ...

And then the pilot said "Watch This"...

Trainspotters worst nightmare

Was reading up on the similar incident a few years Siberian 1812. The scary thing in that instance was that the missile (different type here though) locked in 150km away http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia_Airlines_Flight_1812#Shootdown Another scary thing is those missiles have proximity fuses and...

I was going to commend your basic roadmanship for not " relentlessly pull back on the wheel ", but maybe it was simply because the wheel shaker/pusher did not activate :| . You know, the vast majority of folks do not blindly and relentlessly pull pack, just the occasional regional guy and...

Its my understanding that this particular airframe goes to Air New Zealand once its done with the certification process. I hope we got a good discount with all the unusual miles on the clock

A recent derailment ...

"Couple of gay flight attendants took upon themselves the impossible task of fixing it, but I think they were really more interested in watching each other arses as they took turns bending over it." Marvellous work, sir. :clap: I know its an A380 but the video here that shows two QF fligh...

So, the USA is trying to be more enlightened and follow this "much more worldly" sport. However, I am among those who are as confused as ever- today we lost to Germany, so we get to advance?!?!?!? :roll: I think I'll go back to watching US-style cricket with the pie shaped field and games...

It still gets to me that at least some debris hasn't come to the surface. I'm starting to smell a rat. :? This + J's post right above = Yes. Now, is the plane REALLY in-tact, on the ground, or could they have ditched and sank in-tact (without implosion)? Wouldn't be the first aircraft to disappear ...

Conversely- on a windmill, you want to suck as much energy out of the air as you possibly can and if you don't catch every last piece of air- you have wasted it. ... consider what would happen if you sucked every last bit of energy out the air, how fast would the air be moving in front of the blade...

The real world cup is in 2015

I trust you enjoyed Business Class minimum? Which airline? Per QF and One World is where my loyalties lie. The boss has an economy only edict, probably based on the fact he used to be a fast jet pilot, and so economy is luxury in comparison to confines of a military fast jet cockpit. We bend the ru...
