Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like the spoilers never popped up.

Re: F.A.O.: flyboy

Is the “Washington Monument” a “classic localizer” that gets insanely accurate as you get closer than on an ILS landing, or is it computer “enhanced” where deviations are a “constant distance per dot”/whatevermoreorless? What? Does it Basically behave like an OBS needle: less sensitive as you begin...

I was also expecting to see a somewhat greater quantity of stripes, given how much he loves the sound of his own voice.

Not claiming that my "analysis" is correct.
That's a good thing because it's not. The operators who ordered -8 passenger versions did so for a reason.

Flyboy- do I have this 75% correct if the sarcasm is left out? Big non issue?

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...

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...
