Re: Westjet Passenger Claims Corona Virus
I'm sure if the captain was in the cabin he would have said haha very funny joker now sit down before you scare people and then continued on his way to destination. This was what i was implying. Face to face interrogation like he had with the cops on the ground . 5 minutes should allow one to make ...

Re: Instances of reversed controls
Doin the dunkin would approximate being upside down in a floatplane,,, there is some risk there but very little , same as my scenario with reversed controls . Doin the mcas "runaway trim" scenario in a sim would NOT incur any additional risk but would actually reduce risk in flight!

Re: Instances of reversed controls
No one ever plans to fly a control reversed plane just like no one ever plans to flip a floatplane and crawl out upside down !

Re: Instances of reversed controls
Ok, Here is another bird brained idea by the Core! What if one were to reverse the aileron controls ( intentionally and safely and legally ) and then become proficient. This A/C could be used for reverse control training ! Also, have the elevator controls reversed in the same manner !

Re: Instances of reversed controls
Is that 'control reversal' though? I see it as an un-intuitive way to get your bike to do what you want it to do....'control reversal' to my mind would be pushing left, and then going left... On a bicycle, you turn the handlebar to the left to make a left turn, on a motorcycle you do the same at wa...

Re: AC emergency
No need for a "push- back" if the A/C has back-up LG !!!That’s only for push backs.
BTW, Have you ever heard how loud the back-up horn is on an A/C when they do that ?

Re: Flying from the right seat
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding that the right seat PIC needs to be an instructor AND operating with a student in the Left seat? DAR had pointed out that a TC inspector thought so and others I spoke to thought it was a law also! Personally, I have done enough RT seat flying that i feel competent...

Flying from the right seat
There seems to be a lack of solid understanding in the industry WRT flying from the RH seat. I have not found any regulation that prohibits me flying in the RH seat of an A/C with dual controls and no accessibility or competency issues. Can anyone point to a TC reg or guidance letter pertaining to t...

Re: Instances of reversed controls
Raising the tail of a taildragger causes the nose to turn to the left in a right turning prop due to the same effect.Abruptly trying to stop this Left turning causes the a/c, you guessed it, to nose down more!

Re: Instances of reversed controls
The bike turns right at high speed because it "falls" into the corner when you slightly turn the wheel the opposite way. This is happening, but what is also happening is this : In a RH turn, you steer Left, Gyroscopic precession acting on the back of the tire pushing it right and on the front of th...

Re: This is the state of reporting
IF the Max was developed with dual AOA sensors and a less aggressive MCAS schedule along with a an easy way to disconnect the system and allow CW trim operation, we would not see these 2 accidents BUT we would see the can kicked down the road. Less and less competence in the cockpit, more reliance o...

Instances of reversed controls
When in aviation does one experience reversed controls? Using a non-aviation example ( but related to helicopters and prop planes ) is when you want to turn your motorcycle at speed around a RH corner, you initially turn the handlebar to the Left ! One aviation example coming to my mind is the Conco...

Re: 3 dead, 2 uninjured in NWT
Leave it to core to descend this topic to the level of anecdotes and logical fallacies. This accident had nothing to do with the pilot's gender and it was truly not worth even bringing up. You're a fool. IF you would look up the data, you may find that woman are 4.3 times more likely to have an air...
