Setting 0 in the MCP altitude will result in the autothrust system taking the engines to idle, but not shutting them down. Additionally, the thrust levers can easily be pushed up manually if that were to happen. The RAT deployment and apu autostart wouldn’t have occurred if the engines just rolled ...

During every negotiations, we always talk about improving QOL, but in the end, it always boils down to more money with little improvements in Blocks, pairings and reserve rules.

“Perhaps a freak occurrence of a little bump that dislodged something that hit both cutoff switches around Vr?” The switches have to be pulled up over a gate to be selected off. No ‘bump’ will knock off both switches simultaneously. Both engines rolled back simultaneously. No yaw during t/o , So, I ...

Pay your dues pay your dues pay your dues pay your dues not everyone does that, Narrow Body is capped at 16, so 19 if you are really unluck and get art + 2 sim in the same month. Wide body is also a different animal with it's own different fatigue rule. I can't speak about them, but they often fly ...

Nothing screams cover up louder than silence. If it was a Boeing issue, the cause, and the appropriate ADs, would be out already.
India, Air India and anyone involved will deflect any blame from themselves.

lol.

It is like, tell me you understand nothing about aviation by writing complete gibberish.

Alright folks. Please, of please, stop quoting the obviously moronic, talking out of their rear end’s, posters. I have the clowns blocked but then they get quoted and voila their posts pop up. I feel slightly stupider every time I read some of the uneducated posts.

Cheers.

There is one clown on Pprune talking about dust devils causing a dual flameout…..didn’t catch his handle though.

Busy airport. Been there many times. Pilots have to be cognizant of what is going on. When ATC clears you across an active runway and to line up on the other parallel active runway, you don’t dawdle around and taxi at a walking pace. Southwest caused the first go around by taking too much time to cr...

Practice, practice, practice.


When is the last time most private pilots practice flying with one engine ‘shutdown’? At least the pilots flying professionally get recurrent training. We are only as good as our training and our mindset.

Speculating is not investigating.

Throwing out one possible cause, which can never be affirmed nor debunked, does not constitute investigating.

It could be caused by any number of things. Why are you even speculating?

.

Are we seeing a dearth of experience in aviation, an abundance of incompetence, fatigue or a mixture off all? Most of the accidents and incidents lately are easily attributed to pilot error. Mid airs, hard landings, lining up on taxi ways? WTF is going on?

I mean we all bullshit, enhance, pencil-whip, etc to get ahead in the industry

Really? Speak for yourself

Ah, no. Most do not.

When you can’t impress with talent, baffle with bollsheet.




Simple accident analysis…pilot didn’t flare.

AC can recover from irops easier than Sunwing. AC cancels a narrow body flight, stick a wide body on the route, and voila, operations back to normal. Little harder for Sunwing to get all the pax. to where they want to be in a timely manner. Sunwing had to cancel peoples’ vacations to free up planes ...

I wonder if previous unreported hard landings lead to metal fatigue being unnoticed. I was thinking that these planes probably get quite a few hard landings. Jazz had one a few years ago in YYZ. I remember seeing the a/c sitting on a high speed exit. The video of this landing shows very little , if...

Too true.

When it comes to aviation reporting, most reporters are clueless and will parrot anything and everything.

It sucks having to pay your dues eh? Right.. I didn’t pay my dues for the 10+ years I gave in the industry before having to pay em again when I got to the NHL :roll: Seniority is not, nor has it been, transferable between companies. 5 years in the OHL or any other junior hockey league doesn’t put y...

From an old timer. Is the grass greener? There are pro and cons to every job. A lot of whet is right for you depends on your ambitions, frame of mind and personal life. How many years would you be at AC? Martied? Young family? Is it right for you? Can you see yourself doing your current job for 20, ...

New Captains, at some airlines, have higher limits too.

Ugghhh. Sure looks like shrapnel damage in tail section. The way the plane was oscillating up and down before impact leads me to believe those pilots did one hell of job getting that plane remotely close to landing. Shades of the Sioux City accident.

That was hard to watch.

Looks like frozen elevator. A/C trying to fly speed that it was trimmed at. Pilots almost made it back.

Maybe redlaser’s first name is Joe?
