Malaysian 777 enroute to Beijing missing!

[C-150ETOPS]

C150ETOPS-

The overwing exits are automatically locked in flight. No worky.

Was thinking there might be a way to trick the system through breakers/power. It's been awhile since I flew it, knew it had something like the 737 lockout.

I haven't flown it, but I'm assuming that it has something like the NG, too. Probably should just leave it at that, though.

How are they unlocked...air/ground sensor??? If you belly land can they be opened?

The cabin pressure differential acts on a flap preventing the locking dogs from being retracted. When the diff is 0 the flap allows the locking mechanism to withdraw the locks. The flap doesn't have to be very large square inch wise to exert a large force.

So what if it's flying depressurized?...

unless you trick the system PSEU into thinking its on the ground. Or turn all electrics off.

I doubt it. They probably do it for name recognition only.

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Les looks pretty disinterested these days.

 

[booo]

Les looks pretty disinterested these days.

Les looks like a dip squat these days. And has from day one.

Les writes a column for one of those flying magazines . That must be highly, highly lucrative. He also has one dope a$s broom mustache.

 

[fr8doggie]

I used to enjoy reading his Flying columns. Except the time he dissed the MD-11. Some of the things he's said on CNN have been ridiculous.

agreed and i think some others on CNN have said outlandish stuff as well. I believe that CNN preps them to take certain "positions" (and contrarians) to entice the viewers. i mean some of the stuff discussed by experienced guys just don't seem plausible based upon the known facts.

Also - they are likely compensated monetarily for their appearances, no doubt.

Yea articles complaining about how people wouldn't respect his authority as a captain... very informative. His mustache is glorious though, bravo.
