Not at all. You secure both of the engines just prior to touchdown. It is the safe and prudent thing to do in a turboprop. DASH in my profile would not make a difference.
No problem. Do what you need to do to make the landing as safe as you can. Thanks for the discussion. The class I am in is quite boring, and I needed the debate!
:nuts:
YES, BUT YOU ARE NOT LISTENING!Can you explain the systems to me then? ?
BECAUSE IT IS NOT DESIGNED THAT WAY!Why can't they run a standby hyd on batt or APU?
?
ONLY, IF YOU WANT TO STOP OR STEER THE A/C!THE OTHER OPTION IS TO LOCK UP THE WHEELS WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SLIDE TO A STOP. DEPENDING ON WHICH TIRES BLOW AND IN WHAT SEQUENCE THEY DO BLOW.....THAT'S YOUR NEW TRAJECTORY...... IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT A SANE PERSON WOULD HAND TO THEMSELVES!Do they even need hyd to complete the landing?
?
BECAUSE IT IS NOT DESIGNED THAT WAY! (SAME THING FOR THE APU, IT CAN NOT BE STARTED IN THE AIR~THERE IS NO WAY TO GET A/C POWER TO THE HDY STBY PUMPS OFF THE APU...JUST NOT ENGINEERED THAT WAY)(SURE YOU COULD PULL CB'S AND DISABLE WEIGHT ON WHEELS FUNCTIONS TO DISABLE SPOILERS BUT WHY?) THEY ADD DRAG AND WILL HELP YOU SLOW DOWN AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO ON LANDING... PLEASE DON'T NOW ASK ME TO NOW TEACH YOU THE FLIGHT TAXI SWITCH FUNCTIONS TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WORTH THE TIME...... AND YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW THE A/C!Why can't the spoilers be disabled from deploying?
Quinn,I see several aircraft listed on you're profile, but not a DASH. Are you suggesting that they should have flown a dead stick landing in order to secure the engines? Wow.
I'm going to say a prayer tonight. One that I never work at the same place as The Russian, Two that I or my family or anyone I care about at all never fly with anyone as arrogant and incompetent as she appears here, and three that God give her a good wake-up call somehow before she ends up playing hero in the graveyard.
God save the future of American aviation if we're issuing pilot certificates to someone like this.
Five people were injured in this crash because of pilots who did not think about primary procedures for a controlled crash.
Five people were injured in this crash because of pilots who did not think about primary procedures for a controlled crash. They knew the gear was not secure prior to approaching the airport, so this was no surprise for them. They may not have needed to do a simultaneous dual engine shutdown, but they could have done something more appropriate for their aircraft type. Their technique sent them careening off of the runway at an excessive rate of speed causing injuries. How can you say it was a good landing?
They did a horrible job with that landing. Very unprofessional, very bad airmenship.
Say what you want. The flying pilot slammed it in and never secured the engines. No respect for the safety of the passengers.
Shame on you SAS pilots.
