I see some you are ignorant of conditions in other parts of the World. There are Pilots flying Q400 in Nigeria, India and Angola to give 3 examples. I've spent time in all 3 countries - in 2 of them crews weren't allowed out of the hotel! Pilots in these countries will jump at this opportunity imho...

I can't believe what I'm reading! Fuel quantity has to be on the before start checklist - if it isn't you have a serious problem with your SOP (which should not have been approved imho). Starting engines and taking off without even looking at your fuel gauges is Negligence and unacceptable imho. Her...

I think you missed the point... I'm pretty sure no one here is implying that those in less fortunate situations, shouldn't be given a chance at a better opportunity, but to automatically be given a work permit, and license recognition, just to undercut those at home who would be willing to do the j...

Yes it is:-

- Re-establish the landing attitude if the bounce is not too bad.
- Go - around in case of a significant bounce.

I wasn’t there so can’t comment on the specifics of this flight.

airbus uses a "Ground Speed Mini" function.

Since this took place after landing the wind does not appear to be a factor in the tailstrike.

Hello aviators, I might have an opportunity to fly a metro 3 but I’ve been reading and hearing it’s a dangerous beast to fly ? I’d like to hear from other pilots that have flown it or still fly it if this is true ? Fly safe It's true that any aircraft can kill you if not flown correctly. Here's a v...

I'm guessing you've never been to Dubai.

Close to the ground, IMC and in a turn with the PF no longer flying the aircraft?

That's not a time for callouts - that's a time for action imho.

I'd have taken over - no hesitation whatsoever. But that's me.

This is a serious incident - I'd be writing an ASR.

As an alternative you may be able to get approval for a Cloud Breaking procedure. Waypoint with a holding pattern. Join holding at MSA/MORA. Descend in the hold to get VMC then continue visually to land. Are these generally published on a plate linked to an aerodrome? I understand the principle but...

I have twice had to loudly say “Bank” on initial climb out in pitch black conditions because we were beyond 30 degrees bank angle(and getting worse) after the captain started playing with the FMC while hand flying the aircraft in a turn. Something goes wrong with the FMC and they likely think that ...

From the website: " Some unfortunate people have been arrested in a public place like their London office or a hotel restaurant in Rome ." Should AC pilots avoid layovers in London & Rome now?! Did you not read the entire article? It deals with abuse of the Interpol Red Notice system. UAE is one of...

Decision to continue taxi probably caused more damage to the engines.

Considerable side loading on the gear as well.

Nice example of weathercocking.

They may not have had a skid plate, but did they not have a tail strike caution light? Did they even know they had a tail strike? They didn’t say anything to ATC about a tail strike. They just said they were trying to avoid a long landing. Don't fly the A350 - none of the other airbus types I have ...

I got an interview with Emirates and I can't afford to live on Air Canada wages in Toronto or Vancouver Does anyone have an update on negotiations or should I assume these Air Canada managers are incompetent and out to lunch like their On Time Performance, bag tracking or ability to take care of wh...

I see some of you don't see the problem with the DIE (much more appropriate) agenda. It's quite simple - instead of hiring the most qualified people people are now hired based on arbitrary characteristics such as race/gender/sexual orientation etc. The end result of this should be obvious - already ...

Would that cause substantial damage? Obviously it looks bad, but aren't they designed to take a certain beating? Yes - as posted above I would expect a lot of damage to the underlaying structure. Structure is designed for aerodynamic loads - not for ground impact. There is an aft bulkhead - the res...

Had a listen to the sounds on the video. It sounds like idle reverse was selected then cancelled before the engines spooled up for the rejected landing. Maybe procedures are different with the ROW/ROP system - but on all jets I've flown a go-around after selecting reverse is strictly prohibited. Wil...
