Second time this year I access this board in order to get swift answers from the Über-Aviation-Pros. That's your first mistake. No mistake if you want swift answers from Uber-Aviation-Parlour-Talkers. Yes, the jabbing persists, but (and I can't believe I'm saying this) the sanity level here is well...

...You'll be amazed what kind of descent rates you can get out of an airplane banked 45deg, boards out, wheels down. Well in excess of 10,000 fpm. Even if you have to overspeed the gear, who cares at that point?... Freaky to have done similar things in MSFS...probably scared the virtual passengers ...

Any Donkeys involved?

...But more importantly: Have you ever felt the 160 kts wind in your face during take-off? Or the 250 kts wind during the climb up to 10000ft? Or the 450kts / M 0.8 wind in cruise? No. So why would the fire INSIDE THE FUSELAGE feel the external wind?... Look, I'm late to this party and don't think ...

And. who suggested that an emergency descent is bad?...someone at Jetpictures, or some actual insider at your work? (Sorry, not going to the effort to search this one out). The Kuttaphugoidist did. In fact, as you can see, he's STILL suggesting as much. Gabriel, you and Evan both are a bit over the...

So, a question: ... Do you: a) [or] b) I'll play along... For starters, I think the praying part is a good suggestion- because aircraft fires can be nasty things and maybe sometimes, in spite of the pilots best efforts and parlour talk suggestions, sometimes there just isn't a solution. And. who su...

Note that it's not a deal of wheel VERSUS side stick. We also see a mixture of automation and manual operation, and electrical switches replacing...

...For a decade plus, conspiracy theorists have doubted the likelihood that a building would collapse after a f***ing jumbo jet gets flown into it... I tend to think they are right. In my limited experience super-high-rise buildings stand quite well when hit by jumbo jets...somewhere in the range o...

...Kutta Condition...

That's some cool stuff. Probably a bit beyond my comprehension, but, what the hell, I'll try to do some more reading...

...I'm betting your favorite references: http://www.faa.gov/aim.pdf and http://www.faa.gov/far.pdf probably won't cut it.

Flew through DTW on Monday morning. 10 people ahead of us in line. Took 25 minutes to get through, including a special examination of my keychain after they spent 10 minutes doing a bomb sniff on grandma's purse in front of me. Half of the 10 or so agents present were just standing around, doing no...

I'm just going to go ahead and make everyone's posts for them, thus saving everybody much time and effort. All y'all are welcome.

[Flyboy came up with nothing]

Just trying to challenge you a bit...

...And it's got some nice big TVs up front for the pilots to look at...

Does it get Sports Center?

Peoples Court?

Orpah?

...Or something

I have a certain disdain for Evan's narrow, judgmental viewpoints, and will attempt to post accordingly, with varied success.

In the meantime, I will wait for a few, interim, semi-factual reports.

...all sorts of stuff...

Or something...

The world is crying its a terror event, but we won't know till the final report.

Indeed- the ass-hat speculative conclusions seem much stronger than normal.

...the plot thickens... Today, I see inferences that this is a worker-inspired slowdown with political and funding motivations. Monchavo may have to move this to the political forum ...I'm suspecting this will improve the approval ratings for a certain US candidate for El Presidente.

Or possibly something much more basic like a shorted or stuck switch? I imagine the FDR probably records whether the pilot(s) were commanding trim movement (as opposed to the command coming from some sort of automatic system) but I doubt it has the ability to detect whether someone was actually app...

...the nose-down trim operated for 12 seconds...

Dare I suggest a $20 word? "Microsleep" (no, not as a single, primary cause, but as something that's kind of plausible and potentially significant).

Carries more buttocks.

Thus, the pilots feel they should share the additional income when they twist autopilot knobs.

Please avoid relentless pull ups and pay attention to procedures, I'd hate to have my tomato plants smashed and burned. Kerosene, fire and smoke is a good pesticide... or so they say. We have an important insider $20 word: Selectivity. Ass hat outsider speculation, logic and assumption may provide ...

I wonder what, if any, was your answer to that comment.

I'm sure he said something to the effect that, "My discussion-forum friends Gabby and 3BS and Obscure Aviation Typists magazine say that we should be doing more hand flying, not less."

PS, 3WE, if you see Maddog headed into flyover INTERNATIONAL airport in the next couple hours, wave hi Fixed for proper ironing . And darn, I am out_standing in my fields and not underneath your downwind leg today. Please avoid relentless pull ups and pay attention to procedures, I'd hate to have m...

I've been meaning to say this... I don't like our new livery. The bullet hole (or is it the procedure for making a smoking hole in the ground?) for "AD- dot -info" just doesn't do it for me. It really needs to be a Jetphoto...I don't care about the sharpness, nor dust spots, but good compo...

...pretty significant, pretty wide-spread waits on somewhat mundane travel days too!

We need to do something!
