In my informed opinion...
...all modern Boeing aeroplanies should be BANNED from flying until they're equipped with ballistic parachutes. Or, better still, banned forever.

Someone brought up that crazy drill-in in China.
Officially unsolved, but kinda looks like a pilot suicide to us, I think.

Double posting that maybe this deserves more press coverage (maybe not- not like it’s next to someone’s seat)
If more incidents emerge we can find the right thread.

Re: Fire Airbus Executives!
Except that the provious week you had this one that received (and IMHO desrved) equal level of non-attention:https://avherald.com/h?article=5169614a ... 46TMnev5jQ

Evanie’s not_favorite airline and aeroplanie.
”A mechanical issue” caused a WN to return to Denver on or about April 7, 2024:

I tend to agree with Evanie on these ones...
Aren't loose, dislodging, falling-off and/or exploding parts usual occurrence for both that aerolinie and that aeroplanie family?”A mechanical issue” caused a WN to return to Denver on or about April 7, 2024:

New video.
Aerodynamics is a strange thing.
There’s a video of the Denver WN plane landing.
The displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as the plane slows.
Ban engine cowlings and go back to radial, exploding, piston engines!

...but the pilots were momentarily relieved when the "detached engine cowling asymmetry" lamp went out.The displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as the plane slows.

Alternate explanation: CFM (do they still make the engines for 73s?) decided to put wings on the engine, as they had no faith in the company that made the rest of the plane.

FixedThe displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as reverse thrust is applied.

Gotta love Infobae...
Read that headline and was going to post it here, but forgot. I took it as "...the engine's fuselage detaches from a Boeing...", but I prefer your interpretation. This is the same newspaper that brought us the recent B757 "wing disintegrating/detaching from the aeroplanie" incident...You guys got all wrong!!!

Fixed. Credit where credit is due.Read that headline and was going to post it here, but forgot. I took it as "...the engine's fuselage detaches from a Boeing...", but I prefer Google Translate's interpretation.
It's a Boeing and was almost floating

Okay probably not actually a problem with the airplane but still scary. Plus of course the headline makes it *sound* like a problem with the airplane...

Re: 737 Max troubles;:The latest news...
Seems to me there’s two things pilots need to know:
1. Pull up.
2. Not_relentlessly.
Instead we have a 4400 FPM descent.
Was this really MCAS and a cover up?

Re: 737 Max troubles;:The latest news...
After such a long and elaborate response to such a simple question, to paraphrase Shakespeare, The man doth protest too much, methinks."No.
ISO 9737
Gabieee had a rant, there, over the story that some guys took the door off, other guys slapped it up temporarily so the Seattle rain wouldn't come in, and that (and missing paperwork) faked out additional installers...
I'm not completely sure I followed Gabiee's solution (we have a lot of paperwork already, but I guess maybe we should have big red tape and streamers on stuff that is made to look installed, when it is, in-fact, not_installed.
And, I suppose if the door was uninstalled for special purposes, there maybe ought to be a document that says, the door is uninstalled, p lease sign off, when you have officially reinstalled it? I' d think that should clarify the problem of someone seeing the door and ass-uming it was OK?
That or fire some more executives.
