Re: Air France tailstrike
airbus uses a "Ground Speed Mini" function. https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/A320-Ground_Speed_Mini_Function.pdf Since this took place after landing the wind does not appear to be a factor in the tailstrike. If the mini function had 8kts tailwind example for 2, instead of the 50kts hdwnd, and “tow...

I have this strange urge to take this sequence of words: "An even drag both wheels, but no swerving tendency at that speed. Slowing up adds weight to both main wheels, but probably, sometimes, unevenly. One carves in muddy! steers it abruptly! even letting go of braking ON THAT DIGGING SIDE ... esp ...

Re: Trauma reducing bucking bars. Worth it?
I’m sure they’re nice if you’re bucking rivets all day in a factory where the fuselage or wing or whatever is still wide open and free of all those bothersome system components that get in the road of every last rivet you need to buck when performing a typical in service repair. If you’re a general ...

Re: Rocket crash
Given the staggering amount of thought, time and effort that went into this endeavor, I’m not sure it even falls into the general Darwin Awards category. This feels like a whole other level, well beyond the usual spur of the moment “Watch this!” Darwinian elimination sort of actions we often read ab...

I wonder how much more of the airframe is bent or broken. Never seen one break just like that before.

I presume the Beaver wing was removed after tangling with the Otter, not somehow sheared clean off?

Re: Asymmetric reverse
I hope you're using two hands to drive your plane too! :D You’re not using two hands for differential power. At least you shouldn’t be. Differential power is all a Cat has... not so for a plane. All the new iron would prepare you for now is to drive an Airbus or a fancy new Global anyway: http://ww...

Re: Asymmetric reverse
Maybe a summer of Cat skinning should be a prerequisite to flying a plane with reverse thrust? You'll never pull a lever the wrong way after a thousand hours on a D6.

Re: Encore wrinkles a Dash-8
I've seen lightning strike the ramp area of an airport just once. Physics chose a spot in the vicinity of a sewer grate 200 feet from any above ground features over all the assorted aircraft, buildings, antennas, light standards, etc. surrounding it.
