AGREE , we demand an IMMEDIATE ban on the Sun . If you are talking about the star that we orbit, that could have mild unintended consequences. Yes and it would greatly reduce the amount of things left to ban , a totally intended consequence. By banning the sun you are banning all subsequent banning...

I shall defer all questions on cockpit procedures to our ISGPTOM in-training

I was interested in hear what you could say about these questions in relation to the airplane's systems rather than cockpit procedures.

AGREE, we demand an IMMEDIATE ban on the Sun.

If you are talking about the star that we orbit, that could have mild unintended consequences.

[The ELAC ] sends commands to elevators that control the plane's pitch or nose angle. Its manufacturer, France's Thales, said in response to a Reuters query that the functionality in question is supported by software that is not under Thales' responsibility. How very French is that? Thales claims t...

I see a fourth that is a lot simpler.

Which is? I am curious.

The backwards landing technique is great. It guarantees a greaser every time!!! It even pre-rotates the wheels before touchdown to avoid the "screech".

***It kind of have that***

It kind of doesn’t work.

I kind of agree. Hence the other keystrokes.

I don't even know what "kind of have that" means. Must be because I don't have the necessary credentials. Rather because my English is not as good as your Spanish. Acknowledged, number mismatch between subject and verb: it should have been "It kind of has that" or "They kin...

A nice example of that kind of strategy is the cabin windows. The exterior transparent panel is designed to withstand the differential pressure for thousands of pressurization cycles. It is much thicker than what it needs to be to just withstand the differential pressure with a safety margin. The re...

*** (like using a fork lift to change the engine)*** A stress point is a stress point. Metal fatigue happens. And fatigue crack propagation speed is understood. As well as residual strength. And maintenance programs are developed and validated accordingly. Which is why you may find a new crack in a...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aKaxJzlsOg The very first frame of the video (and this view lasts only a couple of frames, beware) the camera is facing back, towards the approach end, and yow can see: - In the far background, the newly surfaced and painted threshold of the runway that is currently ...

The left landing gear ripped open the roof of a UPS warehouse. Yet, the plane continued flying straight and it was later seen in a truck dashb...

AA-191-esque Very Disturbing :( Very. Given what Verbal explained (3 of the 4 lug faces showing fatigue cracks), unless something particularly bad was done with that engine (like using a fork lift to change the engine), I would expect that a lot of other DC-10 / MD-10 / MD-11 will also have a lot o...

Contradiction is a part of life

So is being wrong sometimes.

You would know.

Of course. I am wrong sometimes. Unlike you. Not all can be perfect, always correct and invincible like you.

Switching topics, have you heard of CRM?

Oh, I'd love to hear this! Please explain how you came up with that, I almost beg you. I didn't have to come up with anything. It's in the NOTAM. Remaining distance, TORA, TODA, ASDA and LDA are all 1500m for both RWY 11 and RWY 29. 1500m = 4921.26'. So, 4,900' runway total, with an LDA probably cl...

It was some 4,900' runway total, yes, but with an LDA of exactly the same some 4,900'. Oh, I'd love to hear this! Please explain how you came up with that, I almost beg you.

Thank you, bud. Exactly what I said.

No.

So, 4,900' runway total, with an LDA probably closer to 4,500.

I missed some details, but THOUGHT I saw piano keys and aiming markers… Yes, you saw the piano keys, then two sets of "thin" distance markers, and then one set of "thick" distance markers, like you can see in this Google Maps image: https://maps.app.goo.gl/74RT4Bx4hcY4TLZS9 Howe...
