It could be worse. Recent observations indicate that AA thinks the correct way to load up an aircraft is front rows and aisle seats first.

Runway ~3,800 feet (kinda short), AND I don't see what would have prevented them from landing into the wind...

Terrain. Also there's only an instrument approach in one direction. Plus someone on avh said it's not uncommon to get tailwinds at both ends of the runway.

Although trying to roll out new stuff to replace old stuff that was still kinda working has a dismal success record, about like VFR into IMC...

I never studied or used a model that considers that a fluid is anything other than a continuum.

Ideal gas law?

don't worry, we are going to use differential thrust to deal with crosswind landings and avoid digging a blade into the concrete. So... how does differential thrust keep you from drifting sideways? (also with all the boasting in the video about magic flight control stuff, I worry what happens on re...

Imagine if software updates had been available in the era of the Comet...

I think you'd be pretty much guaranteed a fiery death.

Modern strong, independent women care nothing about such archaic, patriarchal notions.

If only it were that easy...

At least he appears to now be former. But, also, not former enough...

38 criminal charges laid, not much real info.

Since when does Union Pacific have passenger rolling stock...?

Maybe, maybe not. Society trains women to care about their appearance, so one thinks about it differently. It can be a sign of identifying with the role and taking it seriously, for example. (Arguably society also trains women to care less, or perhaps men to care more, about symbols and regalia and ...

"Go around."
"No."
"Go around."

Beyond belief. Fortunately, they didn't died, but they were very lucky.

Foxconn.

I too should wait for the final report.

"That's what I was trying to get at, but I screwed up"?

A few comments: -What caused the bad, bouncy landing (and will Evan determine that the crew used improvisation, and botched clear, easy procedures to land safety)? Still not clear. I think it is quite clear at least in a big part: Not disagreeing; but there's still a variety of things we don't know...

None of that matters. It was a gross pilot error, and that's all there is to it.

"Lav sinks on 737 Max are too small"

All becomes clear - on the Max gross pilot errors cannot be done in the lav, so they happen in the cockpit instead...

It's a lot cheaper to tweak an electromechanicalhydrograviticelastopitot thing than add some lines of code, though... While I tend to agree with that in general, introducing LOGIC (of the IF ==> THEN type) into an electormechanicalhydraulicgravityspringpitotptressure analog thing (especially an alr...

Enough is enough. Time to call the experts.

Oh, they say the same I said!

You realize that my prior post was saying "yes, you're right, I was wrong", right?

Tough deal and several independent questions: There are now some answers: -What happened to initiate things? Apparently, a lightning strike. -What caused the bad, bouncy landing (and will Evan determine that the crew used improvisation, and botched clear, easy procedures to land safety)? Still not ...

Watched a little of today's NTSB press conference. Apparently they didn't have the full runway to use, as the navy had a wire across the runway about 1200 feet in to catch carrier based aircraft in case they couldn't return to the carrier. They still had 7800ish feet, so should have been plenty. Wo...

So I have a stupid question... if the purpose of the thing is to adjust the elevator feel for type commonality, why attach it to the trim and not to, say, the elevator feel system? I do't know. I don't know the design of the artificial feel in the 737. I suspect that it is similar in the MAX as it ...

What that chart doesn't show (but this other one does) is that, while the lift at 45 degrees is comparable to the peak pre-stall lift, the drag is some 100 times higher than that a normal flight regimes, and bigger than the lift itself, giving an L/D ratio (i.e. glide ratio) of less than 1:1, not m...

Ocelot- Flight attendant (sorry, I had to be grossly non PC for a moment.) Never mind, you can be a Captain along with flyboy. Since obviously nobody else around here knows how to run a business, I think the title you're looking for is "boss". :mrgreen: (I know you were trying to be funny...

Unfortunately, I do feel a little cockieness as he wanders all over the sky (like I did during my instrument training). I question whether that video is really synced to the audio correctly (or alternatively, whether the position data it reflects is accurate) -- there are several points where it do...
