Re: Re: For the ignorant
The kid plainly does not understand the cause of the AA Cali crash; if he did he wouldn’t have made such a statement.
Second I’m curious about the NDB claim. Since most Scarebuses operate overseas where NDB airways are common this seems a bit odd don’t cha think?
He says the system is totally unreliant on antiquated NDB’s so… does this mean they have zero capability to tune/track/fly NDB’s period? I assume they are in the box, they would have to be if nothing more than for the approaches.
Any bus drivers care to chime in on that one?
Also what’s this “internal Nav only”? The system would have to rely on ground-based updates to ensure the quality of the navigation being done by the computer we use scanning VOR/DME. If this is true it speaks a lot about the bus.
As far as the Bus vs. Boeing you have to understand that Boeing builds planes with the pilots in mind, Scarebus builds planes with protecting it from the pilot as much as possible not a good idea in my opinion.

If they were flying an A320 and dialed in a incorrect NDB into the FMS.. same events would have prevailed.
