Fascinating idea.. I wonder how it will work in practice? https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/airbus-formation-flight/index.html As far back as a century ago, avian scientists began to understand that birds were increasing aerodynamic efficiencies by flying in close formation, taking advantage of the...

^Isn't that what the lawyers call 'Constructive Dismissal'?

First using continuous ignition for take off is not sop and there is no auto ignition system as for auto feather how does that help for a dbl engine failure, the system is not designed to figure that one out. The fuel was cut off just imagine the dramatic engine response if fuel was introduced with...

Ouch, didn’t arm auto ignition and captain shut down engines.

And, didn't arm Autofeather.
Time of the accident was 0 dark 30...I'm thinking that fatigue had a bit to do with this...

Does anyone know the Canadian CARs equivalent of FAA Part 135, 91. and 121, please?

121, I think, is equivalent to 704...

TIA!

As I copied from my brother's Gr.8 German class many, many moons ago:
Besser den Spatz in der hand als die Taube auf dem Dach..
Or, 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'

Take the damn job. Figure out what to do later when/if your recall comes

And, on that note...we shall end. Not a lot of minds are going to get changed around here

I don't think that anyone's mind is being changed here....
Thread locked.

^ Weakness? I rather think that you'd have to actively try to F$$k it up that badly!

The pain of cheaping out lasts *much* longer than the pain of paying a higher initial price.

YES, YES, YES, a thousand times YES!

NO.

On topic of AC and CCAA from now on, please, gentlemen!

So are they going to remove 40% of the seats, or just keep the same pitch, and leave some (middle?) seats empty?

Message has been flagged, and we'll get back to you (hopefully!)

You'd have to wonder if they'd be better off staying onboard and trying to pull out of the dive more before impact. I doubt it - they were just out of altitude. The best outcome would have been to leave at the apex of the climb - instead of turning......but there could be many reasons why they did ...

I've always worked with what I've been given; that being said, I've found that if the ropes extend much past the end of the float/rudder, they beat themselves to sh!t, and end up looking like dreadlocks on a bad hair day.. If i want a longer rope on the rear, I'll try and toss it forward of the fron...

I have learned that Doctors are like pilots. Ask 100 of them their opinion on this and they will all respond differently. They will all be right too. :smt040 :smt040 Fact is they are just shooting from the hip. They don’t know either. At least their opinion is formed by several years of intense edu...

At my place, a confirmed COVID calls for gloves, respirator mask, gown, and faceshield for loading and offloading, and an N95 paper mask for in flight. The patient will be loaded into the aft spot on the sled, furthest away from the door. Once we get back, the a/c is left on the ramp (wx permitting)...
