Delta 767 Emerg in ATL

[Skyboy722]

aww shucks, aint that sweet. Maybe an engine out is rare for you, but not everyone has lived the docile life you apparently have.



And the whole point of my original thread was not to question the PIC's decision to declare an emergency if he indeed was in doubt of the outcome of the flight, but to get these naive little kids who have never faced an emergency in their lives, except maybe the loss of 1 of their 2 fms's, to not sound so highschoolish.

Listen up, skygod... This is not a private pilot ground school class you're talking to. This is a forum of Major airline pilots. Get over yourself. You're just not that cool. Everyone here is a professional.

And by the way, my next engine failure will be my NINTH. You know NOTHING about me or anyone else on here. Your comments above are offensive and arrogant.

Im going to keep my opinon to my self about the severity of doing a single engine missed. There are two schools of thought. I will determine the severity of such an event based on crew abilty. Some are better skilled than others...

For those of you bashing pipejockey, you are entitled to you opinion. However if you have never flown in Africa, you are clueless to the way of life here. What he descibes is not an everyday event like he tries to make out, but regardless theres a reason for the term us expats here use: TIA, This is Africa!

I personally fall into a little bubble within Africa. I dont fly into hostile airports and Im not forced to depart with a broken overweight airplane. Im lucky to be flying under JAR regulations and also restricted big time by our insurance requirements... Regardless its still Africa and I am forced to do things differently at times but ALWAYS SAFE!!!

From what my brother told me, they executed the miss because of this. Crazy bastard!
Take a look for yourself.

Uh, wow. Might wanna find an airline with better maintenance there, bud. Do you have to walk uphill through 10 feet of snow going to and from the airplane, too?

 

[Papa Woody]

Why are we talking about a SE go-around? Big friggin' deal.

Lose the second engine on-the-go.....then we can have a discussion.

I've faced enough emergencies in my career to know that things don't always fail "the right way" like they do in the sim and that any emergency has the potential to go bad very quickly.

Good grief

Didn't happen at the airlines.

Bus Load of Nuns on the runway.... Go Around!!

Then there was Ice Cream Truck on the Runway....!! Go Around!

Any other good 'excuses' from the Sim instructor to go around?

The Alaska Airlines MD-80 accident started out as a perceived pitch trim malfunction. Al Haynes Sioux City accident started out as a loss of engine 2.

But now more than ever training time is crammed with more useless info like watching you low vis taxi for 20 minutes instead of putting you in unusual failure modes and forcing you to figure out what's gone wrong.

Agreed!!

Listen up, skygod... This is not a private pilot ground school class you're talking to.

sure sounds like it at times.

Your comments above are offensive and arrogant.

I'm an offensive and arrogant kinda guy. What do ya want from me?

Thanks BLing! I know you probably weren't intending to defend me, and understandably so. As skyboy said, I am arrogant and offensive, and maybe even a tad bit abrasive. Maybe even almost as much as the military pilots And hey, stay safe over there!!

I'll respect and defend all my African brothas! Even if I dont agree with some of the things that go on here, the job must get done...

I even respect for those Russian guys flying those overweight broken down Antonov 12's all over hell and back. I guess they get paid by the kilogram... Poor bastards!

Single engine goes aren't free. Maybe if Delta pilots flew a better jet they wouldn't lose $6.7 Billion a quarter.

Not free; but still 50% cheaper than 2 engine goes.
