Re: Good speakist lost

RIP. I hope they didn't stall-spin while trying to making the impossible turn to return to the runway.

It is not that they are any more or less dead, but if the vice president of the AOPA Air Safety Institute falls into that trap, what's there for the rest of us.
Just sayin...

TL;DR: Pilot responded to an engine fail in an out-of-W&B plane with relentless pull up and predictable results.

Re: We don’t trust engineers.

Clearly what they need are Schrödinger's winglets... that are there, and simultaneously not there.
But then the whole airplane would become entangled with the winglets and all the pax would be dead and alive at the same time until someone opens the door.

Almost Total Air (and journalism) disaster!!!

An Ethiopian flight from Sau Paulo to Buenos Aires had to deviate due to weather during descent and approach, descended to 3200 ft, climbed back to 15000 ft, descended to about 700 ft where it stayed for about 3 minutes before turning to align with the runway in a short final and descending at a slo...

Re: "This guy REALLY needs a TOPMS"...

No need to brake within the 1st ship, for sure it will break the record top speed of a car on a boat. The oth...

Re: Large airplane. Not_large airport.

how they manage to get from a ramp area to the runway without them hitting anything (and no wing walkers!). That surprised me too. These wheels coming oh so very close to edge lights and signs, and no wing walker or chase car. I wonder why they did that. I am still wondering if they really didn't h...

So you are not_regurgitating “the rules”? On one hand, yes I am, as I myself stated myself when I said that this is how the stabilized approach criteria is prescribed to work. On the other hand, there is an important practical concept that, I may be wrong because you didn't say it explicitly, but I...

Re: Challenger crash, Naples FL, Feb 2024

NTSB released the docket but not the final report yet. Both engines run out of oil.
I was about to correct "yearS" but I suppose that 1.5 yearS qualify as yearS (but then so would 0.3 yearS do).

Re: Stabilized approach thread

That's not how the stabilized approach criteria is prescribed to work. The approach can be unstable above the stabilized approach gate, it must be stable by the stabilized approach gate, and it must remain stable after the stabilized approach gate. If the approach is not stabilized by the stabilize...

Re: Stabilized approach thread

- The approach seems very stabilized: Flight profile is stable, airspeed is stable, small control inputs... Multiple disconcurments. Concur. Yeah, it’s basically stabilized*, but in the last 1/4 mile (more or less), there’s a bobble (maybe a speed increase shear?) and the plane crosses the fence hi...

Re: Stabilized approach thread

Regarding the cause: Was there a tall Argentinian selling bratwurst-flavored Doritos at the fence, causing the pilot to maintain excess altitude?
No. Had that been the case, this accident would have never happened. Keeping excess altitude is the best way to avoid gear damage.

Re: More Facebook Stuff

Hopefully Flyboy will confirm or correct. In Airbus's normal law, the roll response is stick-to-roll-rate, meaning that the roll rate is proportional to the stick deflection (up to 30 degrees of bank, then it reduces more and more until at 60-something degrees of bank the roll rate becomes zero with...

Also, he's dead.
