The aircraft touched down 1420’ prior to the touchdown zone. That is nearly 5 football fields. The article says 420, not 1420. That a few less 'football fields' for those that cant figure out how far a thousand feet is. Article says 420-430’ prior to the threshold. TDZ is normally 1000’ beyond the ...

Employment background may not be a reason for banning a poster, but a long track record of trolling the forum could be. It wouldn't be the first time a poster was banned from here for nonsensical posting. It wouldn't be the first time pdw got a time out for it. I look at it differently in that nons...

The truck carrying the tail section drove under a large tree branch and smashed into it with the tail. It's just like the bridges in Vancouver! Just another day in Asia! I lived in this region for 8 years. The level of Chaos/Corruption/Negligence/Incompetence/Nepotism/Theft and Fraud would shock yo...

I would make an assumption at this point there is enough data taken from both recorders to present investigators a direction to look at in analyzing the sequence of events up to and including impact. What struck me the aircraft lifted off , climbed wings level, landing gear extended and then at some...

Not a good look for a professional pilot to be ranting about another aviation profession like this. Frustrations and emotions run high but this isn’t a good response, particularly the rumour fuelled accusations. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6773978 Certainly not a stellar example of profe...

And the only way to fix that carefully cherry-picked data is more taxes, more spending, and more direct government control. It’s what the USA is doing. Trump has spent massively in his 100 days. His tarrifs are a tax that Americans pay. He’s turning the US into a police state. And yet their debt is...

As of late I had limited success in staying away from this site and on that theme I thought this current thread would be of interest in relation to the current Canada/USA standoff,more to the point maybe(hope against hope)informed insight. The proliferation of pictures, slogans, conspiracy chat alar...

Agreed 55, but as I said I do tend to have more empathy for the Pax all things equal —- I agree with you wholeheartedly(pax empathy) and I should have conflated both. Undoubtedly terrifying for those passengers hung upside down after witnessing a wing detaching followed by a fire. Truly horrific to...

I feel for the Capt and FO, no doubt emotionally scarred by this accident and will be for a lengthy time if not throughout the remaining aviation career. If there is such thing as consolation for them , nobody died on their watch. Yet. 3 in critical condition at last report. I feel for them, and ot...

Initial info deleted because the X source posted misleading information concerning the PIC's previous status at Delta Mainline, source itself is a retired airline pilot from Delta. Classical example of what you see/read from people(who should know better) isn't always factual. My bad!

The aircraft did break-up in flight after having departed from cruise altitude. At the time there had been at least two previous Single Otter crashes due to in-flight break-up as a result of flutter. Possible related items of note were mentioned in the report including an aileron balance turnbuckle...

I very rarely contribute to this site however the vast majority who do undoubtedly consider aviation a very serious activity. People who dwell in conspiracy thinking, purveyors of chemtrails, tin hats, ivermectin mixed with sodium hydroxide for Covid etc adds an uncanny disservice to our industry. T...

I can’t wait for a taxpayer-made millionaire who’s literally never held a job outside of government in his life to get in power and rise up to support Canadian workers….. In Mr. Poilievre’s quest to champion the common denominator what has been conveniently left out is official L of O has a residen...

Why not? There is SO much material. Unlimited, every day. :lol: :lol: :lol: He’s become a clown to the world, and the world laughs out loud at Canada. Want it to stop, “Bob” ? Call an election. And maybe stop voting for him? 🤔 The “ material” has a common divide, shows no boundaries and more to the...

It’s like people who have to bring up Trudeau in every subject. Why not? There is SO much material.

Question for all you edjumacated people out there. I'm looking for a good case study on a collapsing/failed airline to read. Preferably one that goes into the nitty gritty of everything leading up to it's ultimate demise. The longer and more detailed the better. Suggestions? https://simpleflying.co...

The aircraft in question departed from the north west runway at Fort Smith , failed to climb and impacted terrain from DER which resulted in a tragic loss of lives. This is the current established fact, anything outside of that is superfluous/conjecture/speculation. Personally I certainly don’t need...

I personally know the owner having worked with him. This will give you design quality insurance , publication direction and most importantly legal standing.

Sir with respect, I haven’t seen your name annotated as a site moderator which certainly indicates you do not have standing nor authority to place sanctions on any person here. Perhaps the moderator listings per sub forums are not updated or possibly hidden by site owner for whatever reason they em...

You’re not one of us who earned our living( in whatever capacity) flying airplanes, so bugger off. No Problem, Old Fella. Make fun of one more young GA’s pilots death , along with his 5 passengers, on the accident forum as you did, I’ll see you banned from this forum. Clear? Sir with respect, I hav...

Years back when I was a line check/ training captain on an A100, one exercise I did was (at altitude) above 5000ft I would bring one engine back to flight idle and bring that propeller to feather. I would then get the left seat pilot to climb to 1000ft above our altitude insisting on blue line best ...

Just wanted to encourage GA’s voice, its not really represented well….. Honest question. Offer your services as a moderator to this site’s owners, you are obviously quite active on this site and no doubt feel you can contribute to the quality of the GA sub section. Nothing wrong with that and if yo...

Are you primarily a GA pilot? I asked for feedback from that group. Only. Nicely. Ah! I guess I "disqualify" as well as I missed this restriction :mrgreen: Not sure if there is that many General aviation pilots only in this forum though... But why restrict your topic to this particular group? Just ...
