Never sat on a jumpseat I take it?

No, I have, but its still a cool photo.

The Captain Looks Like A Maniquin .

And why is he still holding on to the throttles? Let 'em go man, the autothrottles work great.

The only difference between that photo and my personal experience there at St. Maarten is that the girls in this photo have tops on and those girls while I was there was topless

Chicks AND planes, a 757 no less..... what could be better?

I gotta jumpseat down there and soon!

it looks like a claymation (sp?) shot...

hahaha, I just set that as my background!

I love that long, slender fuselage, tall landing gear, plus a big engine on each side.

You talking about women? Or the 75?!

This is something you don't see very often as well.

Am I the only one who thinks putting a hull on the bottom of those things and turning them into boats would be cool?

That's be awesome, wonder what one of those shells weigh? Slap a couple heavy duty engines on the back of that mutha and you'd have yourself something right out of the future!

YES!

[Lrjtcaptain]

got a question for you airliner drivers out there. It seems odd to me that while the fo is flying, he is using two hands and the captain is doing the throttle. That isn't typical is it? I know i fly with my left hand and throttle with my right, but is this typical CRM with some carriers or what?

Yes, its very common. At least at AA thats the way we did/do it. After V1, both hands go on the yoke while the other pilot guards the throttles.

Good CRM and Safety if you asked me.

 

[Dangerkitty]

Now with the above pic...I have no idea why the CA has his hands on the throttles well past V1.....

Have you ever seen the video/analysis where the Airbus crashed only because one power lever went to idle while the other stayed at Max power right after takeoff? If the non-flying pilot had only been guarding the throttles then about 150 people would still be alive today.

Dumbazz policy, if you ask me. Begs the question, " who's flying this rig, anyhow" ?

Why *would* the flying pilot have his hands hand on the throttles after V1? You're past the point where you'd pull them back to abort, and by that time in the takeoff roll, takeoff power will already have been set by the FE, NFP, or auto throttles as apropriate. An engine failure (after V1) in a 777 isn't going to require you to do anything immediatly with the throttles. As dangerkitty there's value in having hte NFP guard the throttles, but no reason for the FP to keepin a hand on htem rather than the yoke

Or maybe he was just posing for the picture!

Really how so? I reference you to the above Airbus CRASH that I mentioned.

 

[Dangerkitty]

Nope, haven't seen the above mention....you have a link?

But from your limited explination....how does that differ from an engine failure above V1?

Not being combative...just curious...

Since it was a foreign event with a foreign airline I can't pull anything up. HOWEVER, we talked about it at length in my AA newhire class.

It happened I assure you. I think the PNF guarding the throttles is always a VERY VERY good idea.

 

[Dangerkitty]

It doesn't. The accident in question did happen after V1. They were airborne.

F/O: "Flaps 1, climb thrust"

 

[Freddie Spencer]

Did a leg two weeks ago with A/T mel'd (pain in the azz). Maybe the same thing in that picture, the CA is just fine tuning the thrust?

 

[mnixon]

What if PF whats MAX power....does he call for it or go for it?

 

[KigAir]

In the lower left corner of the picture there is a can that looks like an open Coors Light. Also, how far back do the seats go? Does the crew have to jump over the center console to sit down?

 

[FracCapt]

Does the crew have to jump over the center console to sit down?

Yes. All Boeings are like that.

long legs, big tits. the best way to tell 757.
