737 stick pusher

[Floatplane]

In my airplane it is a carbon based stick pusher, activated at the onset of sphincter constriction.

That would be very similar to my aircraft, just prior to sphincter constriction, my pusher is at max capacity.

None of the 737 series has a stick pusher. The BBJ, the -700's I flew at AirTran and the -800's I flew at ATA had an Elevator Feel Shift mechanism which used the Speed Trim to move the horizontal stab to cause a nose down movement.

Correct Sir.

The system is not a "stick pusher" per se, but rather, it makes it that much more difficult ( via trim ) to apply back pressure to the control column in an approach to stall condition. ( Such as that which occured in the Colgan/BUF crash.)

3 TZ warriors in one thread??

Priceless.

Oh wait. Now it's 4.

Have you "TZ Warriors" been able to find work? Best of luck.

 

[Whine Lover]

There's PLENTY of jobs out there.

You just have to like the smell of either curry powder, fish heads, and/or raw sewage.

Or work for "Colgan" wages.

Who, but the young and single, can afford that? I'm 43, married, with a 12 year old that I'm required to send child support to. I don't want to live with my dad. That 12 year old has basically kept me from going overseas. I'd rather watch her grow up. I briefly worked in the Carib, but that deal was killing me. I'd rather not fly for a living anymore if I have to put up with all that BS.
