Re: Dreamliner Down in India
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 ...

Re: Sim Evaluation
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.

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
“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 ...

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
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.

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
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.

Re: Just Brutal...SFO
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...

Re: RCMP crash
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.

Re: Fireboss Crash Offshore St. John's
Speculating is not investigating.
Throwing out one possible cause, which can never be affirmed nor debunked, does not constitute investigating.

Re: Southwest Airlines 737 nearly takes off from a taxiway
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?

Re: SUNWING
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 ...

Re: YYZ RJ landing Accident
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.

Re: Azerbaijan Airlines
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.
