Re: Stabilized approach thread

So… In my ass-hat, outsider opinion (and barring extreme speed-gain wind shear) that (Gabiee’s link) is a pretty classic high and hot, unstabilized approach that probably should be abandoned. Nose way down, and landed pretty long! Yeah, 3BS thinks zooming through 1000 feet, power off and knots stead...

Re: This seems fairly cool

Yeah but... jet engines are cool and turboprops aren't! :lol: I kid but it's true. Disconcur. Both are cool, but instead “only” blowing hot air, a turbo shaft strikes me as a strong EFFICIENCY machine…better than pistons, good altitude performance (for the engine, with some prop limitations), and s...

Re: This seems fairly cool

Oui! One thing I note with interest is that they discuss the fact that turbine engines like to consume fuel, but don't mention that they also like to consume money. I'm curious how much that engine costs and what it costs to keep it running. The ironing is thick, that your other post today was abou...

Tin foil hats…

Just sharing: I recently saw a discussion suggesting this was a terrorist “attack”. Supposedly there’ was a comment on the helicopter CVR to the effect of “they don’t know how they are dealing with”. I get it that sort of fits a helicopter flying straight into an airliner with a nice, bright landing...

While I like the photo, there’s way too much clutter, and the framing is too wonky…Therefore, rejected.

Yeah…rounded crap includes additional layers of math. Do you want an airplane, or 3000 pages of Gabrillian calculations? They didn’t have AI back then either.

That’s what happens when we (or management) design(s) airplanes.
We make them with ungodly square nacelles?

PPRUNE

I think there’s two distinctions: 1. The TCAS RA is suppressed (since you climb you descend isn’t an option. 2. Instead of TCAS assisting with surprise threats (be aware, look and wait), it’s a different response altogether: 2A. A rule that I ain’t letting anyone within 0.5 miles and 500 feet of me....

A procedure…

Stopped in at PPRUNE (to read BUT NOT POST) and found this. We should make the industry adopt it. I landed many times on 33 in a 727. It was not even considered difficult with a reasonable headwind which is why you would take 33 in the first place. Today with the children of the magenta line flying ...

Re: A380 troubles, the latest news...

I don’t care about huge aeroplanies… How about a nice, long, 6-across soda straw, with tall gear and a high bypass turbofan that’s MORE UNDERNEATH THE WING THAN AHEAD OF IT… Something resembling an A-319,20,21…or I dunno… a 757? But, perhaps, clean sheet ? I’ve never really figured out what’s wrong...
