You know, I DO care about train braking, but maybe I’m more interested in making sure they work, versus improving their nominal performance. https://www.deseret.com/1998/10/17/19407483/st-louis-zoo-train-jumps-tracks-killing-its-engineer/ A total train disaster in Flyover: Brakes fail, engineer did ...

The conversation takes an interesting detour. I found the movie interesting and JMAHO, making the spoilers absolutely, 100%, altogether, unavailable, seems like a bad idea. https://youtu.be/FZ5Ht_mhdrI?si=vD6ygmD-luc0zZA7 (Search: Airbus Fatal Flaw) Not_unlike a nose-over system that no one knows ab...

Do they know that cars have had disc brakes for about half a century? I haven’t studied disc brakes on US passenger trains (they exist and work smoothly based on some train rides). But I suspect they are better than the crazy levers and rods and chains and God knows what else that transfers the pre...

All you engineers do is complain.

What suggestions, albethem outsider suggestions, do you have to improve train braking?

ATL, 1983

They are slightly exaggerated.

Everyone and their uncle was going around- wind shear, visibility.

Not quite. Only the smurfs went around. In fairness, Republic didn't even try.

Ah yes, the Evan hyperbole rule…There were a few go arounds taking place, so the weather might have been a little bit challenging…

***But this: in my opinion, the only thing that makes sense here is that the stick was let go, either accidentally or, possibly, the pilot thought they were already in flight mode, so the airplane would hold the pitch attitude it was at when the stick was let go.*** I have been in full BS-spewing-a...

I do have two beers that it’s at least 7 degrees of reduction. My 2 beers say no more than 5. Game? (we have a 2-degrees tie zone) NO DEAL. You said half of 7…if you are going to pick on me for ass-hat guesses, you don’t get to move the goal posts. I don’t want to beat this to death…they nosed over...

Do you think you looked like these guys when Bobby gave you wrong Vspeeds?

More red font. Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see: - A 14 degrees nose up to begin with (you taught me that it would have struck the tail Go to hell…I think most of us see a “full rotation” where a tail strike was something to think about. That, itself wasn’t necessary bad…727s had ta...

…you…think that it was…excessive? (if they did it).

Yes…

And I have to add “bad”.

Yeah, sure, bump the nose down…just not from 14 to 7 degrees in one continuous swoop, unless there’s some really weird winds…

I blame controlled substances.

Adding comments in red. BACK TO THIS INCIDENT: That was a hell of a nose over I don't agree. The nosewheel remained higher than main wheels all the time. What could have hapenned? That they touch down before they climb again? Like in the Air Moroco case? Have you seen that video? (that I posted the...

The discussions are repetitive and long-winded, but the question is real...

Blah blah blah logic blah blah blah. All I said is that you cited Alpha protection...It was a conversation starter. You used false logic that somehow I had grossly misquoted you because you have to do like Dan Juan and give us the aircraft registration, flight number, date, taxi diagram and a list ...

I saw Gabbieee cite stall protection You are ready for the news outlet. You've got all the misleading quotes skills required. That was not the only thing I cite…. [A, B, C, D…] It’s called hitting the high points, instead of a comprehensive review of possibilities… You should try it sometime. For a...

…more importantly, should we pop some chemtrailed, GMO corn?

This stuff is not_as good as the olden days, but popcorn and/or flame wars are good things, together or separately.

Aerodynamics is a strange thing. There’s a video of the Denver WN plane landing. The displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as the plane slows. Ban engine cowlings and go back to radial, exploding, piston engines! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/KcP...

You, sir, are an idiot,?
