Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!

[ERJ-140]

Here's a couple of items that will effect the dispatch reliability of the WSCofD.... NTSB Identification: CHI05IA116
Scheduled 14 CFR Part 121: Air Carrier operation of TRANS STATES AIRLINES INC
Incident occurred Thursday, May 19, 2005 in Kansas City, MO
Aircraft: Embraer EMB, registration: N814HK
Injuries: 52 Uninjured.

This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On May 19, 2005, about 1030 central daylight time, an Embraer EMB-145LR, N814HK, piloted by an airline transport pilot, sustained minor damage as a result of an uncontained failure of the number one engine during cruise flight near Kansas City, Missouri. The airplane returned to the departure airport where an uneventful landing was made. The air carrier flight was operating under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 121 and was on an instrument flight rules flight plan. There were 49 passengers and 3 crewmembers on board. No injuries were reported. The flight originated from the St. Louis International Airport (STL), St. Louis, Missouri, and was bound for the Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado.

GV might better answer this one, but uncontained failure protection is based on statistical analysis and theory in large part. Even with an uncontained failure nobody was hurt (thanks to engine location and that the parts probably didn't pierce the fuselage any way).

Let's also be real here. By the time the parts go through case, the duct, the nacelle and possibly the pylon there isn't much energy left to poke the fuselage (for compressor/turbine failure - assumption on my part).

As for what a shadow is... It's when the radar signal attenuates (i.e. is deflected or absorbed to the point that it does not paint anything beyond that point).

Looks like you talked to your Captain to get the answer.

But the question remains. How do you "pull" shadows out of precip. <--- Your words not mine.

And since you have been typed in the B-737 it's time to answer those questions asked of you. Oh wait, guess you are going to have to ask a real B-737 typed pilot for the answer.

What will the timeline be? Another 1-2 weeks?

You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about!

If you knew anything about the EMB-135/145/145 XR or Legacy you would know that the AE3007 engines made by Allison (a dividion or Rolls Royce) are wrapped in Kevlar to contain any sort of flying debris during an event such as this.

Once again ERJ-140 you are showing the people here that you are indeed deserving of being called the Red-Headed Step Child of flightinfo.com.

You ignorance is only surpassed by your stupidity.

 

[ERJ-140]

There are ways to do it, but leaving the gain in AUTO and flying around in the rain is NOT one of them.

This is basically a radar used on turboprops. It likes to paint lots of ground clutter and blobs of red everywhere or lots of nothing. When it gets wet it attenuates badly (in AUTO GAIN especially). You have to know how to make it talk to you. You have to "pull the information out" of the radar. It doesn't just give it to you. Most pilots using EMB radars shoot over the tops or paint nothing because they have no concept of gain and tilt angle, and do not know how to use ground clutter to their advantage (a must in this airplane).


(BTW I started on the EMB in 2000 so you don't have that much of an edge on me in that regard. I have been a pilot for almost 20 years.)

Now wait a minute!!! I thought you weren't a pilot and didn't fly the EMB??? Now you have been flying the WSCofD for almost 5 years???

From Post #859 of this thread...

All right all right!!! I will admit it. I am not a pilot. I just know one and got on here to see if I could try convincing you folks through reason that the Legacy isn't that bad. A friend of mine flies it and I got this info in part through him (like where Legacys are in the USA). If I had admitted to not being a pilot you might have laughed at me...so I pretended.

Joke's on you! Sorta'.

I have experience riding in the back of the planes listed. No ATP. No hours.

Apologies to my pilot friends out there. They had no idea I was posting their ideas! Sorry!!

 

[bigD]

Sooooo....I have a choice between a radar that just plain works the way I expect it to, or a radar that requires special training to overcome its shortcomings.

Again, it seems like you're constantly showing us how to work around the various compromises of the airplane, or how the compromises aren't important ("FL370 is all you would ever need!").

Well ERJ-140 looks like I am catching you in another one of your lies.

The above quote was from little over a week ago. In that quote you state that you are not a pilot. You dont have an ATP. Nothing.

Now you state that you have been flying the EMB since 2000.

Well what is it? What "truth" are we going to go with this week?

You lies and BS are getting really dull dude. I would have alot more respect for you if you would just admit that you are a fraud and a liar then shut your pie hole.

You credibility is zero and you continue to make a fool out of yourself here on a daily basis.

B-737 typed pilot my a$$.

Falcon Captain,

Great minds think alike!!!

Hey red-headed step child!! Looks like you got some splaining to do!!!

It all depends on how big the piece is, and where it was in its rotation when it let go. If the engine part that lets go is being spun away from the fuselage, I'd say you're correct, but if it's spinning towards the fuselage, wing or tail when it lets go, look out. Delta MD88 in Pensacola, United DC10 at Sioux City, Continental DC10 in Newark and Cleveland, DHL(?) B727 in Hartford; uncontained failures resulting in death, with aircraft damaged and/or destroyed. Most, if not all modern Part 25 tail mounted jets have their engines mounted aft of the cabin pressure vessel, or they have limitations in place to minimize the effects of an uncontained failure resulting in a hole in the fuselage.

Right.

If you knew anything about the EMB-135/145/145 XR or Legacy you would know that the AE3007 engines made by Allison (a dividion or Rolls Royce) are wrapped in Kevlar to contain any sort of flying debris during an event such as this.

(And yes, DK, we all know there is a containment shroud that theoretically eliminates uncontained failures. It obviously didn't work this time.)

What I do not know is whether or not a failure is actually "caused" on a test stand to determine if the containment ring(s) are strong enough. That may be a calculation based on mass x velocity (energy) vs. composition and thickness of the shroud and other components.

GV is the certification expert. I defer to him regarding this issue.

An uncontained failure may result in a change by the FAA regarding the EMB or AE3007 (it is flown on the Citation X - and the Saab 2000 I am told). Beef up the containment ring/shroud or add "armor" to the fuselage structure...or do nothing at all because of the nature of the failure.

I am not sure anyone knows if a containment ring really works until one lets go in real life, but I again claim no expertise in that regard.

Please respond to post #968 regarding you saying you aren't a pilot and then saying you ARE a pilot...

I can't beleive you guys keep biting. He has to be the most succesfull flaimer in the history of flightinfo.

Stand by.

I haven't read every post on this thread, but I've read a lot of them. I have to say. This is the best thread on FI.com! Amazing. This is approaching 1000 posts...and it was all started by the guy who is trying to defend his airplane, yet he started the fight.

Uh, it was not an attempt to start a "fight". Read post one again. I think it is quite clear it was an attempt to stop hijacking another thread. "Bashfest" is a joke. But people around here don't have a sense of humor.

WTF??? Is your Captain's phone busy or something???

 

[ERJ-140]

I have been called:

[ ... ] I think you're full of sh!t.

To state that you are one taco short of a combination plate is an understatement.

You [ ... ] are a complete moron [ ... ]

[ A ] dmit you are a hard up Embraer Salesman who needs the commission to feed his family.

You're just some schmuck on the internet...

Let me be the 100th person to tell you this dude but you are a complete moron.

...

You have been shown time and time again of how much of a fraud, moron, salesman, and idiot you are.

It is becoming increasing clear that you are not a pilot at all but a mere internet troll.

Once again you are showing how much of an idiotic moron you are!

So you're the Flight Attendent? That answers a lot of questions .

You have no credibility here and are a loser.

[ Y ] ou incompetent douche bag.

Falcon Capt exposed you for the fraud you were. Just go away...

What a tool!

Well, what do you think, have we done away with this clown or is he coming back?

You have been exposed time and time again as a liar and a fraud.

Falcon Capt has exposed you for the BS artist you are and yet you go on.

You are a liar fraud and a fool. You have no clue what you are talking about and are a mere irritant to the people of this board.

Not the sharpest tac in the box....not by a loooong way.

The problem is you have no clue as to how much of a tool you sound like.

We'll wait while you fly the route on Flight Simulator 2004 and give us the results.

I'll go ahead and stop.


I have been called a fraud, moron, tool, idiot, non-pilot, flight simulator groupie, and flight attendant all at once. Thus, my claims to not be a pilot were quite clearly sarcastic remarks pointed back at the things I was being called. Unfortunately the humor of it was lost upon all of you other than perhaps flechas.

Funny thing about it is, I think G-V Flyer is the only one who hasn't called me a name yet. In spite of that, I am the one who gets called a "name caller". Amazing.

And if you are so good at "Basic Radar Techniques" Dangerkitty, pray tell how you could miss spotting a Level 4 with any radar? Was the radar inop? The point in explaining all of that is...though the techniques may be basic, one would be extremely surprised to see how rarely people use them. Radar training is often given short shrift, and being lazy with radar on an EMB can get you in trouble more so than an airplane with a "more precise," "better," or "more powerful" wx radar can. The 737 radar is light years ahead of the EMB radar. I completely agree the EMB radar could be better. It could. It should be. It isn't, though, and we are forced to learn to use what we have.

Again, the EMB radar doesn't suck, it's just different. You have to know how to use it.

 

[2000flyer]

Darn. I really wanted to make the list too

Wrong, the EMB radar sucks, when you really need it to get around the big stuff, it stops working, and all you can see is the rain in the radome.

That is not true unless you leave it in "AUTO".
