You apologize or you're sorry?

I made this same mistake once at a funeral.

Really? I would have thought the extreme opposite. Like 500 potential cheap aircraft customers versus 500,000 potential luxury car customers.

by NATHAN J. ROBINSON If I believed climate change mattered as much as I am supposed to think it matters, I would be spending my every waking effort calling urgently for political action. I am not doing this. Therefore, I think I believe less in the importance of climate change than I say I do. Goo...

That interpretation got shot down in flames by the TATC not long ago, in a case against EVAS Air that TC lost. The tribunal said TC was talking a load of bunkum and the government wasn’t free to invent its own definition of “type design” to the contrary of the very narrow one in the CARs. The TATC ...

A brief search on the TSB's website shows numerous investigations of amateur built or ultralight aircraft.

Prior to the advent of GNSS, ICAO defined only two types of approach and landing operations - precision approach (PA) and non-precision approach (NPA). It has now added a definition for APV...

I always understood the term 'autothrottle' to be used on systems where the computer actually moves the thrust levers (like a Boeing).

Whereas 'autothrust' is used in the cases where the computer controls the actual thrust, but doesn't move the levers (like an Airbus).

Perhaps I am wrong though.

Cliff Jumper

I always thought the reason you feathered the props once in the flare (in this scenario) was so that they would reduce RPM faster and would come to a stop sooner (compared to not being feathered). Regardless of propeller type, I'd rather they hit the ground stopped as opposed to flinging around at ~...

But not pressurized so not really a 1900 replacement.

I thought they had planned a pressurized version, hence the small ovalized windows?

Over 100 people died this week, after having orange juice for breakfast.

For those who didn't notice, this is likely the reason for the offer..... Maybe I'll just wait out the pandemic before going for a medical and let my friends fly my aircraft and I can be the passanger, They can log the hours since another ten thousand hours on my licence won't change anything, 😎 Fro...

An investigation has been launched by the West Siberia Transportation Prosecution Office

I couldn't have come up with a better name if I tried.

Perhaps pitch had something to do with the water shifting around in the tank? Did he level off at 8500?

Edited... maybe not, seems he was level at 5500 before.

perhaps that quoted person meant 'turning' not 'running'.

Cliff Jumper

the caveat is that this was demonstrated with a healthy engine at idle power. I'm confused. For all of these 'trials' people are conducting, are we talking an idling engine, or a non running engine? (Ahramin, others?) It seems to me that this difference would create wildly different results. I'm st...

Use the parking brake when?

Every time you stop?

Or only those times where you intended to be completely fixated?

How can you identify ahead of time the occasions where you will be fixated?

Should you also rely on the parking brake while you're heads down for a prolonged time?

Cliff Jumper

I'm all for 'safety improvements' but I'm with photo on this one. I don't think the 'remember the parking brake' advice is the solution here. Lets keep in mind a few things. 1. A Cessna 172R at idle doesn't exactly accelerate like a ferrari. 2. He must have moved at least 30-40 feet to hit another p...

Something about this video seems fake, but I can't put my finger on it.

I think it's the perspective, and early camera position 'swimming'.

Is it just me?

Additionally, I wonder if the pilot had brought the power to ideal before or even AFTER the initial touch down.

Sarcasm is so hard to spot in text.

Cliff Jumper

Why should it matter ? The pilot is either authorized to do the approach or not. If the pilot knows they are not authorized and do it anyway because they think they are unlikely to get busted, well that says a lot about the pilots decision making process, and not in a good way.... Sorry for my lack...

Cliff Jumper

L39guy, you don't appear to know what an ILS is, what an RCAP approach is, or what a GPS approach is. The ILS approach into Nanaimo is an RCAP approach and cannot be flown without an OPS SPEC. It might be a good idea to review the AIM before commenting further. In that post I inadvertently said "GP...

Just out of curiosity... you had a cell phone in 1985 (35 years ago)???

In typical fashion, you're arguing just to argue. I'm stating some details that agree with the gentlemen on here that have military experience, and you're saying I can't say the sky is blue because I'm not a meteorologist. I never suggested any deep knowledge, weird opinions, or anything that's not ...
