Re: Brazil ATR 72-500 Spin/Crash

It reminds me of the Roselawn Indiana accident except the spin part.
The ATR is unlike the Q4, it doesn't like icing. My thoughts are with the families.

As a Frozen ATPL, CPL + MIFR student finishing an integrated course sometime later this year with a little over 180 hours, I am wondering how on earth do people that finish flight school with less than 200 hours, which is the minimum requirement for a single pilot high performance airplane type rat...

And the dreamliner is next. A few years ago a few Boeing 737 quality assurance engineers got fired because they wouldn't release the 737 NG fuselage because of cracks...... The same story is happening with the 787, seems like the local culture in that company. Enjoy the video. :idea: :idea: https://...

Re: Lion Air 737 MAX 8 Crashes in Indoesia

These vapor and nausea thing on a 737 is the consequence of overfilling the hydraulic B reservoir its always been an issue but it could be a sign that maintenance were topping up hydraulics as tech log showed differential pressure caution light a few days before.

I guess it doesn’t matter who does the cleaning. No one is doing it well.
In fact in does matter as these long cleaning hours spent by the crews are taken away from flight preparation so its a bloody safety issue, its a latent threat that is yet to say its name.

When I wrote the exams for the ATPL the answers were all hand written and were marked based on what you actually knew as shown in your hand written answers, in today's world you have the multiple choice crutch to help you.

If you think that a 737 Captain or First Officer should clean planes, you need to travel a bit more and see the world.

I do it where I work and it's not SOP. I also do it as a passenger on other airlines. I just like getting my hand in dark, deep, (sometimes moist) places and pulling out surprises. Try it.
