Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
EgyptAir flight MS804 disappears from radar between Paris and Cairo
trace appears to show south med, bit north of Libya?

They all died. My guess is that the airplane fell out of the sky and hit the water hard

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

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
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.
Or something...
They made a 90deg turn to the left then a 360 to the right. Doesn't that require 2 autopilots? Why does it require 2 autopilots? How many trim switches does the 320 have? I'm just trying to understand, but don't anyone try to explain it to me, I won't believe you anyway.
This was a quintuple ELAC failure! Quintuple, do you hear me, quintuple! What's that you say? There are only 2 ELACs? And their failure is no big deal? I don't care, it was a quintuple failure, because I'm Evan and I say so!
I prefer to teach type-specific skills! What's that you say? I don't actually teach anything and never will? I don't care, I'm Evan!
Look at all my f***ing knowledge, LOOK AT IT! Brianie, they're not listening to me! Ban them all!
This aggie thinks "we" oughtta wait for the FINAL REPORT
Airplanes without APUs don't have APU fire surpression systems either. If you knew anything about systems, you'd know that.
What the bejesus are we talking about?

Thank you (and CONCUR to waiting for the final report), but how you dare to omit my glorious underscore?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.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
In the meantime, I will wait for a few, interim, semi-factual reports.
...Or something
I have a certain disdain for Evan's narrow, judgmental viewpoints, and will attempt to post accordingly, with varied success.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
Same here, Gabby. Looking forward to your upcoming lectures on Phugoids and the Kutta Condition, on both of which you are one of the world's leading experts.We love you too. Please keep participating in constructive discussion sharing your immense knowledge with us.I love you guys

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
Well the data seems to suggest a less then instantaneous loss of the aircraft and fire or smoke alarms in various places, plus the pilot's window opening, which seems a bit desperate if it was initiated by the crew.

I don't think so. Unless the pilots opened the fixed pane too.Well the data seems to suggest a less then instantaneous loss of the aircraft and fire or smoke alarms in various places, plus the pilot's window opening, which seems a bit desperate if it was initiated by the crew.
Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
That's some cool stuff. Probably a bit beyond my comprehension, but, what the hell, I'll try to do some more reading......Kutta Condition...
...I'm betting your favorite references: http://www.faa.gov/aim.pdf and http://www.faa.gov/far.pdf probably won't cut it.

"The airflow will separate at the trailing edge." (paraphrased).That's some cool stuff. Probably a bit beyond my comprehension, but, what the hell, I'll try to do some more reading......Kutta Condition...
...I'm betting your favorite references: http://www.faa.gov/aim.pdf and http://www.faa.gov/far.pdf probably won't cut it.
"A body with a sharp trailing edge which is moving through a fluid will create about itself a circulation of sufficient strength to hold the rear stagnation point at the trailing edge." (verbatim)
This boundary condition is fundamental to the theoretical study of airfoils, to the point that before Kutta stated it some super genius aerodynamicist of the last millennium postulated that heavy-than-air things cannot fly because lift is impossible. Of course the forgot to look up at the birds that are heavier than air and could fly without major concern, probably thanks to ignoring that theoretical impossibility.

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
So, a question:
Supposing you're on fire. The fire is somewhere inaccessible, like maybe the avionics bay.
Do you:
a) stay at FL370, do a lot of praying, and/or watch the airplane burn up around you?
b) get the blasted thing on the ground quick and soon, which might necessitate, I don't know, an emergency descent?
I ask because I recently heard that an emergency descent is a bad thing to do with an on-board fire, because "speed and oxygen" might make it worse

Re: EgyptAir Flight MS804
What ground? If you want to be ON THE GROUND soon, then keep it high up to the point where you will reach ground at the end of the emergency descent. The ground speed you can keep up there is quite higher than at say 10K ft.b) get the blasted thing on the ground quick and soon
Now, if you the situation is such that you want it down ASAP even if it means ditching in the middle of the sea a hundred miles from the nearest piece of land (and this may be a very valid decision indeed), then go for the emergency descent.
The emergency descent also makes sense if you want to use ram air or open a door or window to remove smoke (if you deem that smoke is the greater danger rather than fire), as your friend Evan suggested. These things don't work in a pressurized plane.
I don't know the procedures, and this kind of stuff doesn't apply to the Tomahawk, at least not in the same way. So all that is just what the "logic" tells me which can be flawed due to ignoring specific procedures, systems or circumstances.

The "speed" that can make it worse it the slowest speed at lower altitudes, and hence longer time burning before you reach the ground.b) get the blasted thing on the ground quick and soon
