airplane off runway in CLE
Looks like the Rwy 28 localizer antenna bought the farm again. Wasn't it destroyed a few years back by a cargo plane when the same thing happened? It took the airport quite a while to get it rebuilt and certified. That's going to cut the arrival rate quite a bit- looks like another winter of... -
CRJ engine problems out of DEN
That's the Kevlar blanket that is specifically designed to contain parts from an uncontained engine failure. It probably did its job for the most part, but the crew is lucky the fan section didn't hit another part of the plane on its way out. -

AA587 and the airbus a300 rudder failure
The FDR did record rudder pedal inputs, but its sample rate was only about 2hz, meaning that rapid back-and-forth movements were not recorded accurately by the FDR (it only recorded what it saw every 1/2 second). -

Da Tranny to STL!
Someone saw a transvestite going to Saint Louis? :confused: The only thing you're going to knock dead is your scheduling integrity. That place is a freaking disaster. -
md-80, dc-9
Over 1.00 is not possible unless you are a mechanic. Ever see some of the hangar repos in DFW? :eek: -
md-80, dc-9
So what kind of max cornering G does the MD-80 throw down on the skidpad? Is there any tendency to oversteer or understeer? -
Ual Employees Spy Ufo At Ord
All the cameras in the world don't do any good when they're all pointed horizontally, not 1000' up in the air. Too bad no one had a camera cellphone, or better yet, a digital camera with a zoom. One picture could have prevented dozens of drug tests! -
UFO at ORD?
What's the pay and QOL? They had better not be doing interstellar flying for domestic pay! Sc4b5!!! -

Colgan Saab 2000
Since the Saab 2000 is out of production and in high demand by corporate operators, I doubt there are enough aircraft on the market to create a "fleet"- for Colgan or anyone else. -
What are your bonus checks averaging?
$50 each quarter, assuming we make the "cut" to get a payout. We didn't make it last quarter, so I haven't been splurging on the Super Size option for lunch! -
CRJ Engines
Not to drift the thread, but the "backpack generation" are taught high-speed aerodynamics in class at most airlines. Most regional aircraft (notably the Embraer 145 series) have very forgiving flight characteristics, are are nothing like first-generation jet airliners like the 707, DC-8, or... -
CRJ Engines
All CF34 engines are checked for core lock when they are hung on the pylon. The engine is shut down and after rotation has stopped, the engine is restarted using the APU bleed. Core lock is not a case of the engine being seized permanently- it is a case of "stiction" that simply resists initial... -

Skybus Photo
Looks very Shag-a-delic! What's the business model? Dirt cheap tickets on a brand-new airplane with live TV, snacks, and a fun atmosphere, and it's going to be profitable? Where have we heard this before? The only thing that makes this even plausible is the fact that Whorebus will... -
Plane 'Seconds from Disaster' Over London
Ever have another plane fly in front of the glideslope beam, and the autopilot climbs or dives as it chases the fluctuating glideslope? That's probably what happened here. It's happened before, although it's never been considered "seconds from disaster" before. :rolleyes: -
Crew Fisticuffs!
Hey, a couple of years ago at Eagle, we had a throwdown between a captain and an FO in the crew lounge at DFW (over the affections of a lady, of course). No coffee involved though, and I don't recall who won (besides everyone junior to them). -
Comair Pilots....
Till we meet again on the other side..... Blue skies and tailwinds! -The pilots of American Eagle -
FMS warning for non-aligned takeoff?
Yes there is, but until now, airlines have shunned the extra cost. Honeywell offers the Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) as a software add-on to existing EGPWS systems. Among other things, it gives you an aural warning if you take off on a runway that is too short for your aircraft... -
