What do you mean it wasn't Southwest's fault...Salk

Oh great another expert. Just a hint, the 250 below 10 is not a design speed there genius!

And proof of another dangerous SWAPA pilot flying your family and friends in violation of Boeings limitations.

SWA thinks limitations are just suggestions to follow when it is convenient.

I will write real slow for the SWAPA pilots who need the tutoring.

250 k below 10k is a design limitation. period. end of discussion. fact.

Birds fly below 10k and wind screens are designed to withstand a bird strike below 250 knots. Not 259, 260, 261, or 270, but 250 or slower.

Staker is another SWA pilot who doesn't know what he is doing.

For those of you unaware of the clacker discussion concerning SWA.

Boeing was very interested in the SWA 737 airframe flying faster than the clacker by the female pilot making the 250/10000 restriction.

350 knots plus! She was past Boeing's flight test data of Vd by a wide margin. Boeing said privately the plane should have crashed.

SWA gave her 2 weeks off. She should have been fired and grounded for threatening the lives of every passenger on board.

But SWA culture just blamed it on Boeing. Which Boeing will accept the partial blame to keep its largest customer happy.

You must be luckytohaveajob because you would have failed the general knowledge portion of the interview. The 250kt restriction only applies in the 737 if the window heat is inop. Other than that you can go as fast below 10k as you like, obviously complying with ATC restrictions. LTHAJ said that every plane ever manufactured has a limit of 250 below 10. You might want to recheck your facts both on the reason for 250 below 10k and limits on the aircraft you are flying. EX. The 737 airspeed limit is Vmo at any altitude with all systems operating normally.. 767 is 313 kts I believe. 250 below 10 is exceeded all the time in airspace outside the US and at military airfields. We used to fly the pattern at 300kts all the time to mix in with the fighter guys so everyone was going the same speed. Also I believe it was Houston Arr/Dep that used to waive the 250kt restriction most times if you asked for it. It was a pilot program back about 5-10 years ago. Not sure what ever became of it. Now im not obviously going to fly around at 342 kts but its there if you want it.

No amount of factual information will deter OYS/GL.

Haters gotta hate.

Really? Well, then A LOT of aircraft in the late 90's and early 2000's busted A LOT of design limitations (according to you) coming out of Houston Airspace when the FAA Implemented their "No Speed Limit" study.

If it were a design limitation then why weren't all those aircraft grounded?

Got an answer for that one smart guy?

Lucky,

Stop now before you make it worse.

Ouch. :laugh:

I will not be convinced that gl/oys are not the same person. If I'm wrong it's of no consequence because they are equally irrelevant.

Lucky,

Not too bright, dude.

Are you the jackwagon slowing us all down on the Fisel Arrival in FLL?

No he is not!!

And the FO? Or is it Rex Lex there.

Hey,
Why can Canadian 737s exceed 250 below 10K.
Side note, I heard from a person fairly well connected to the FAA that the 73s in question were inspected by a contract MX firm, who used a metal scraper to remove sealant, instead of the SRM mandated plastic scraper, and the metal scraper scratched the skin causing stress risers and ultimate failures.
I guess we will see.....

The problem started at the assembly line. Boeing has already admitted this.

You really are lucky to have a job, if you actually have one. Hopefully, it's not flying airliners.
