http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pilot-flying-into-heathrow-airport-says-drone-hit-plane-a6988666.html One of these with a live feed and a small frag bomb you can detonate at will would be interesting. I recommend making bold assertions here about how the drone pilots should be physic...

But it's moot because any autopilot disconnect results in the autopilot disconnect siren sounding and a master warning until the crew actively clears it" ...the theory involves some fatigue aspects...I don't doubt they silenced it, but... ...in the process of hand flying did they succumb to on...

...Trim in a 737 is a completely different animal than in a 172 or Tomahawk...No certification standard requires that the elevator must have enough authority to overpower a runaway trim. Yeah, I know... ...BUT... ...the ability to cause a SUDDEN dive of THAT severity???? Ironingly, I wonder if the ...

What are we doing in ag? Don't know, don't care, trust the experts.

You're not old, you're just experienced!

Gabriel, where do you get the idea that you can go below 200 ft on a single channel? For example, same link as before. Where do you get the idea that you can't? Or, at what altitude do you suggest that the single AP flying the ILS approach in solid IMC would or should self disengage? I would not se...

You're here too.

Wires contained inside the box or wires outside the box that interface it with the rest of the airplane. Mechanics and installers don't open LRU (line replaceable unit). They just remove and install the LRU.

Well it's there for making sure the nose gear is down, but more importantly SELFIES!

Some pics from the last two weeks
4 sacks of meat on board, 75 gallons of fuel, and still hitting 1000 fpm at over 100 knots indicated.
Couldn't find any clouds on Saturday...

It is fun but for sure is a lot more expensive than #1. Otto in the clouds for single pilot ifr is definitely a good thing to have. I have a hard time seeing how people land an airplane with the wheels up...in my experience the thing won't go down if the wheels aren't down. But just in case, I do fo...

Below 200 ft you don't want to be on a single channel because there's not enough margin for the pilot to react to an AP error (e.g. unexpected pitch down). This applies in APP mode or GA mode. I'm not specifically familiar with the 737 setup but if you are in APP mode below 200 ft in dual channel mo...

I call this a wrong decision Dp. You should of let him try to land; if you didn't die in a ball of flames think of all the awkwardness you could of avoided, and if you did crash ;still no awkward moments... Its a win-win if you really think about it. Almost. There is a small chance of a non-fatal b...

Don't know... where did you hear that?

Pulse lights are much more visible, especially in daytime. That said, they can be rather distracting when landing at night and you forgot to switch from pulsing to steady. To what do we owe the pleasure? Don't know... definitely not an abundance of spare time... I think I wanted to see if anybody w...

Welcome back, PP! :clap: :D Concur. Welcome back, Bradley. Have we completed our IFR and commercial ratings, supervising the B-1 program and purchased a cheap composite BRS-equipped Cirrus? Thanks all. Yes, IFR completed 2 years ago (finally). Still active, mostly flying 182RG's these days (with pl...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/dreamliner-787-heathrow-fire-may-have-been-caused-by-short-circuit-10462014.html An air accident report into a fire on a plane at Heathrow two years ago has revealed that it was triggered by trapped battery wires. I remember many moons ago, on the ori...

3we are you flying these days? As a Cessna driver in Seattle I have a very high respect for the ice machine we refer to as "The Cascades".

Which model?

How did I miss this?

I've seen the A380 do more impressive stuff in Singapore during the airshow there. Being closer to the action could have something to do with it, but still.

Doubt it.

Sorry to hear that, Ike. My condolences.
