Maybe we should install automatic speed control in all trainies and subject motormen to physical punishment.

I was tempted to ask Monchie if he was Boeing Bobby...(of course, is he Boeing Bobby without knowledge of blue font, or with knowledge of blue font?) I don't think Monchie -or anyone Not_closely following our posts- is aware of our " somewhat " frequent use of sarcasm, much less of JPForu...

monchavo and mrs monchavo are making lemon ice cream, chocolate orange ice cream and spiced fig ice cream for the christmas day family party this year... all bound to be very tasty indeed! Again, I'm interested :mrgreen: . Per's (and Monchie's) festivities sound, great, Do you think we can make it ...

I like to dedicate my first post after a long brake to all of you who always wait for the final report and don’t pull too relentlessly. Here it is:

Welcome back!

Here is an interesting article with interactive views of the interior of a firefighting 747. Note it has several business class seats.

Ban all motor transport

CONCUR.

I blame TeeVee.

NK, serious question, do you really believe that reverse thrusters should not be used on aircraft? I don't know that Not_Karl is serious No. My solutions and recommendations to the aeroplanie industry, bold assertions, absolute statemens, questioning of pilot intelligence and FoFfie opinions should...

Let L-410 in Russia crashed shortly before landing . Uncommanded pitch reversal of a propeller. ATR-72 in Ghana goes off-roading . Pilot lost control during take-off run after his seat slided . Proposed solutions : Ban thrust reversers ( we should have banned them after Lauda Air ) and sliding seat...

Looking at recent incidents, isn't there a serious risk of another aeroplanie landing on top of yours?

It's also a little surprising/scary that the low-pressure warning didn't come on for 2 minutes even though pressure loss was probably almost instantaneous. My interpretation (might be wrong) is that the bang was a bump in the road that damaged the tyre, which finally burst two minutes later. And th...

I like how the article starts by saying that the woman was kicked-off for breastfeeding, but apparently the problem was Not_what she was doing but when she was doing it. I'm all for breastfeeding and think people "offended" by it should be guillotined, but maybe we should wait for the fina...

Please, carry on and note the OTHER agreement on asking "just what emergencies are emergency brakes intended for".

For parking, like in cars.

Good procedure! Violation of fundamental CRM that it's important to monitor the chimney that the updraft is not too swift, hot or roaring. Also, cowboy, improvisational recklessness... Is your stove big, fancy, expensive and attractive to Type A people and medical doctors? Modern fireplace in wifey...

arasda, there:

My wife is also terrified of planes, but we have to travel all the time because of my job, she still freaks out everytime, and now that she is on her semana 18 de embarazo its even worse

I am very excited by the year in squid roundup due sometime later this month. A highlight of the year!

Came here to say exactly that

"As a train conductor/engineer, you can expect to kill 5 people in the course of a normal career" Is there any reward or recognition if you kill more than 5, or does it only give you bragging rights ? I thought that at some other time, it was more like the grand average was about 1 killed...

***It seems to me the biggest single cause of the accident here was the pilot's selection of emergency braking.*** ***No, the biggest single cause was the failure of the spoilers, undoubtedly.*** (...)According to the TV show, the selection of the emergency braking was the root cause.(...) Wrong , ...

How can you increase WOW?

Making all the passengers jump and hit the floor at the same time?

LSD-744 seems quite torqued off at Brian...and Brian has his moodiness. I sometimes wonder if the LSD-744 nickname might have some truth...

Who knows.

I blame WWII.

I would much rather see a multiple step system:

The yoke
The AI
The view of the nose vs the horizon out the window
The ASI
The model badge (to know if we are in a -200 or a -236A).
The cirrcuit breakers.

Fixed.

Brianie's intervention on LH-B747-4's post there:

(Smartass off topic comment aimed at moderators deleted. Don’t do it again LH-B744. You are really sailing very close to the wind.)

Noooooo, I missed it!
