Rockie: From the Angels website : Why don't the pilots wear G-suits? G-suits are designed with air bladders (pockets) which inflate and deflate to keep a pilots' blood from pooling in the pilots' legs while executing sharp, unpredicted combat maneuvers. Unlike combat flying, the Blue Angels demonstr...

You may work for a company that "expects" you to violate regulations, but be aware, that won't protect you if things go wrong. If it was an acceptable defence, I'm there are plenty of Hell's Angels strikers that would use it a defence. "I'm not guilty, the club told me to traffick those drugs or th...

Oh it was just an excerices for students in the textbook. It says things like a wing area of x, chord of y, and a CGwing to CGtail of z. Then you determine the stab area and draw the plane. It's basically just a sizing exercise. Do you have the type of profile of the vertical stab and a target spee...

Max, I think the weights on thew elevator are more for flutter /aerodynamic balance than stability. Test flights revealed that tail flutter was a problem. During high-speed flight, especially during dives [...] This phenomena is called Mach Tuck. The only solution is to slow down (without modificat...

Re: crazymax

FOR Crazymax I am not going to hall you out and insult you, but do have a question or two.. Have you ever flown a floatplane or done any low level flying? Do you know anything about what one learns or is taught when becoming a bush pilot, or float pilot, anything that involves flying low? Finally.....

Crazymax, I wholeheartedly support everything said by SuperDave. He has hit the nail right on the head. I cannot say it in such a diplomatic manner so I'll be a little more blunt. You are currently in a very selective and special group of pilots. That does not make you any better or worse than any ...

Is there a good reason to not wear G-Suits? As long as the plane is equipped with it, and its SOP for normal ops of that A/C, why ditch them for a demo? Do the Thunderbirds wear them? From what I read from various sources, the G-suit and Mask are in the way of the pilot. When the G-Suit inflates, i...

However, another thing this forum could be about is striving for a better understanding of all the diverse niches we have in this industry. I'm sorry I am not aware of your backgrou...

Some of them have only an application to military regs and procedures, but the rest of the studies provide the essential IFR and Met information for both the IFR and ATPL s...

Good God, The debates on this forum never cease to amaze me. Most people need to realize that flying an airplane really isn't brain surgery. You'd have to be trolling to call the flying on that video anywhere close to dangerous. If you're not completely drunk, brain-dead or totally incompetent, any...
