ANA 763 Hard Landing Fuselage Damage (Video)

[FO 4 Life]

As in an unstable approach?

Not unstable approach, but you can usually tell early if you'll make it or not.

Say you're at 3000 AGL. If you're out of shape in the MD, you're most likely going around. In the 757/767, you can meet the stabilized approach.

The Japs I flew with could recite formulas for sink rates based on power settings which would net landings with "x" amount of G's. But if you throw them in a situation where the conditions are not what they are used to...well this is what happens. If the captain is senior to the chief pilot,dont expect much to come in the way of punishment. Just a trip back to the sim to practice x-wind landings.

Sorry...not judging these particular pilots...but I gotta know...is it four years from ZERO time. Sorry if that's the case it is NOT a lot of time to go from zero to the right seat of a heavy...I don't care how good the "training" is.

Huh? In the "good" days in the US, pilots were going from 0 time to regional turboprop captain in less than 4 yrs and then straight onto a legacy sometimes on the widebody.

You are the most moronic person in the world.

The Japs I flew with .

Nice. Do you call your F/O "Meathead?"

Because referring to Japanese as japs is somehow less moronic than showing Arabs on flying carpets? OK pot.

Yes it is. You could at least capitalize the "J" in Japs, ***********************************!

Okay, that was kinda funny but really..... calling Japanese "japs" is same as referring to African Americans with the "n" word. I'm not the most politically correct person but there are lines out there that should not be crossed.

What? Since when? All the old WW2 veterans are racist now?

Maybe its just somebody being too lazy to type out Japanese, or somebody not having enough room on a newspaper headline, or somebody not using it in an offensive way. Not everybody considers the term derogatory, and this was told to me by my Japanese friends. I do find it odd that you would stick up for what many consider the most racist people on the planet.

What? Since when? All the old WW2 veterans are racist now?

Yes. They are/were racist. You kind of have to be, in wartime. Otherwise you might get all emotional when you go out and kill a lot of people. Best not to think of them as people. Everybody was racist. The Japs, Chinks, Krauts, the Dagos, and the Yanks. All racist. Newspapers from that era, super racist.

Korean War? We didn't fight Koreans, we fought Gooks.

Vietnam War? We fought Dinks or Charlie not "Vietnamese".

Gulf War we went out and bombed the snot out of towelheads and Hadjis.

But guess what, the war is over and that kind of language is just divisive and offensive for the same reason it was necessary during war, using it implicitly states that the slurred group is not deserving of respect or being treated with decency.
