In the ATC world we call it a "Grand-Piano with wings" because it's performance is about on par with said object.... did you notice what equipment flyboy was operating that day?

Re: Further proof of puppy mill tomfoolery.. no rudder skills
How dud any self respecting pilots union allow Airbus aircraft into their fleets Because it fixes most pilot errors? Ok, but it makes more on it's own? To me all of the Airbus automation, is no different than the CAPS system... it's a good selling feature, but no replacement for actual pilot traini...

I check the FedEx MD-11 in the background? I wasn't in the market for an L Series lens or anything, so I did some research for good buy for little money. Bought a Canon 55-250MM IS Lens.

Further proof of puppy mill tomfoolery.. no rudder skills
CALGARY — The pilot of an Airbus forced in 2008 to make an emergency landing in Calgary after hitting severe turbulence should have been offered more extensive training to manage the rare, inflight incident. That conclusion is found in an 18-page Transportation Safety Board report into Air Canada F...

Re: UAL901
Ok....it is conspicuosly absent that MAYBE the "normal procedure" of going around at 200 ft AGL if you don't see the runway was available as a pretty good safety backup...and on a Cat III approach, I'm thinking there is a serious monitoring requirement that would have caught the problem.....

I'd be willing to make an educated guess that 95% of large airplane crashes (RJ or bigger) which gets destroyed on impact usually results in some fire.

Re: Afriqiyah A330-200 down in Tripolis
What makes you think the engines were not on the aircraft at impact? Am I missing some information here?
I think we can all think of one Airbus accident, in landing attitude which created one helluva fireball?
