I don't know because none of our birds apparently are subject to that campaign.
Flyboy- do I have this 75% correct if the sarcasm is left out? Big non issue?

[Speculation mode = on] This airplane will never see commercial service for a number of reasons. As a VIP aircraft, its interior would have been highly bespoke.

Oh, come on, it's easy. If the majority wanted the masks to stay in place, then it would stand to reason that the majority of the guests on my flights since the order was lifted would be wearing masks, correct? Or else, where is this "majority"? That was very, VERY weak . Since your guest...

Re: Sliced in two, you say? Costa Rica 757
I do agree with him that going back to El Coco probably wasn't the greatest decision. Liberia or Tocumen would have been much easier. One thing the video doesn't make very clear and The Might Juan doesn't mention (probably because he hasn't been to El Coco) is that Rwy 07 is quite a bit uphill mitig...

Do you have some sort of deeper objection to him and his style? Style? Sure, I do object. He is not engaging and entertaining, rather the opposite. But the quality of the information he presents is, in general, very good. And in this case it was excellent with a detailed explanation of the 757's hy...

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...

They do suck, but nowhere near as much as Dan does.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?

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
Actually, no. The standards had changed between that DC9-32 and this 738. But you keep on keeping on, Gabito.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.

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...

Re: Typists, October 2021.
Always remember that, Gabriel. Always.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.
