CRJ Pilots

[SiuDude]

I was backseating on a CRJ a couple of days ago and during landing, as soon as the nosewheel touched down, the aircraft veered sharply to the left. Is it possible for the tiller to be off-center during landing or did the crew forget to turn the yaw damper off? Or was it something else?

Thanks

Was there a crosswind? Perhaps uneven application of the brakes... One thrust reverser stowed before the other... Or you have a crooked rear and became dissoriented via. corriolis illusion

EMP gun...

EMP gun...

Daamn, I knew it

 

[BeCareful!]

Some of the tillers lose their self centering qualities and can actually reside in a slightly nose left-or-right position. I flew one the other day that was extreemly sensitive turning right, and if you let go of the tiller it wouldn't return to center by itself.

One possible explanation.

 

[BeCareful!]

Probably an EMP gun, though.....

The yaw damper doesn't ever get turned off like it does in a King Air. Probably a new FO that hasn't gotten used to the brakes yet.

You were probably on my flight...just as I lifted my feet to apply the brakes, my left leg fell asleep!

FO's on the brakes?! Thats a long running 'taboo' at Whiskey (at least not until 100 KTS then it's the Capt's A/C at 80)

That's a shame, as it hinders the development of competent First Officers. I remember EGL being that way; don't know if they've outgrown that or not. The major I used to fly for definately expected both pilots to know how to use the freekin' brakes.

I prefer a nice, smooth transfer of controls after the reversers have been stowed. To me, that's just a calm, professional way to go about it.

They keep asking me to take the high speeds... I'm like, "its your plane dammmit"


On a side note, why the fukk is "d.a.m.n." censored on this board?

Because the god **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ers that run this board have no balls.

The flight crew probably did not go to Embry-Riddle. When it's a Riddle crew up front, the flight is flawless and the landings are always perfect. At Riddle, they told us how much respect we are going to command in this industry because of our alma matter.

The only mistake you will find a Riddle grad has ever made was wasting all of that money down in Daytona Beach. After that, the brainwashing takes over and we are convinced that we are the best.

While people at other colleges were wasting their time meeting girls and going to parties in their spare time, we would go to any airport and watch airplanes land. We had to go to one where there are no Riddle planes, because it gets boring watching perfection. We would then go back to our dorms and circle-jirk over the latest edition of Flying magazine.

Forget spring break, give me the MD-90 simulator anyday. I am the envy of all of my fellow flight instructors back here in the "world". They ooooh and aaah when I tell them how hard it is to fly. Then I go to my car, the one with all of the ERAU stickers plastered all over it, and get out the sim manual. I charge people to look at it. They are even more impressed with jumpseat stories from my days as an intern.

The girls are impressed when I tell them I'm an instructor pilot and attended the Harvard of the Skies.

When I grow up, I want to follow in the footsteps of the Riddle professors. After spending many years in the industry always chasing but never acquiring the job I'm after, I will become an alcoholic and teach at Riddle, promising my pupils that they will ALL be 777 captains one day.

I bet you wish you were me.

LOL! With HEADS that big, there won't be room in that C172 for two crew members.

*laughing* Is this the Alumni mantra?

Riddle....that was the best **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** post ever. For those who think you are serious...well, no comment.

 

["TheBigPicture"]

Riddle, I was laughin' my a** off with that one. I can't wait till the license plate comes out so I can get one for my car.....or maybe they'll send me a free one if I ever send a dime back to the alumni assoc.

RiddleMan -

Your smear of ERAU is unfortunate. I know it's not the be-all-to-end-all of aviation education, but it is what it is, and if you were lucky enough to attend you should be grateful.

I attended PRC, and then taught there. I was a good start for me; I'm saddened that your experience in DAB wasn't as good, perhaps; even more sad, though, is that you would de-value your degree by bashing ERAU publically.

As a ten year vetran of the airlines, including three years at a major, I can tell you that the Riddle degree really does hold some value in this industry. If you want to bash something, bash the PFT academys. Someone in your shoes would do best to show a little class, and some gratitude, if not respect.
Good luck; you'll need it.

Respect is earned, just like contempt

I gather they did not stress grammar or spelling at ERAU.
