Noun- maroon - a person who is stranded (as on an island); "when the tide came in I was a maroon out there"unfortunate, unfortunate person - a person who suffers misfortune


Maybe he was talking about all the unfortunate maroons stranded here on FlightInfo talking sh!t about that which they know very little about?

Why was less flaps better?

They probably used flaps 2 for t/o, then left them there. Also, adding more flaps adds drag, remember? Flaps 2 gave them the best lift/drag for their condition.

Finally, there's the condition of ...don't *uck with it. Changing the flap setting will change their green dot (best glide) speed and their glide distance to a more negative ratio. They had their hands full for the entire time and to them, that time probably was compressed into seconds.

We weren't there. They did great. Go play somewhere else guys, the sandbox is full.

All I know is that I'm extremely appreciative of the fact that some on here weren't at the controls of the aircraft on that day.

It seems as though some at the front of this post aren't making the corellation between %N1 and thrust.........just how much thrust do you believe that thing puts out at 35% N1?????? It isn't 35% of the thrust- or have some forgotten that..............

 

[Bringupthebird]

If the autoflight system was disengaged and the nose lowered and the airplane was at its 210 target speed the autothrust system would have commanded idle thrust.

I am interested to see if the autothrust system was ever disengaged and the thrust lever moved forward.

The investigation also shows that the final re-start occurred at 500 ft and 200kias. Unless APU bleed was selected on this would not be successful.

Reading the record of the ECAM would be eye-opening. What messages did the crew see that lead them to believe they had a complete double flame-out, and what messages came up during the restart attempts?

What is N1? I don't get it?

If Sully tried to put it on 11 at EWR and crashed and possibly killed more people on the Turnpike etc... The same people would be saying.... "They should have put it in the river"

Everyone lived they made the right choice.

That should have been enough thrust in order for "sully" to make it to TEB or back to LGA.

Or to club you in the head like a baby seal....

to extend his glide in order to make it to TEB or LGA.

Dont they always say when in primary - never try and extend a glide; I remember my CFII drilling that into my head many moons ago...

FWIW....Just on the news tonight.

That exact plane had an in-flight engine failure 2 days before this crash landing in the Hudson. NTSB said the engines have high-time and an AD was recently complied with pertaining to these engines on those Airbuses for in-flight engine failures.

Here come the lawsuits if this is true. Returning a plane back to service for engine trouble, then 2 days later it goes down from engine trouble. The media is looking into a cover-up about the whole bird issue.

Just what I heard, 5 minutes ago.
