Not to throw out wild theories but could it have been turbulence from a heavy that upset this into an unrecoverable stall? I'm thinking back to the Bombardier Challenger that lost 9000ft due to the turbulence of the passing A380 1000' above in 60 seconds. Just something to consider, even though I do...

Silence a week after finding the cvr? I was thinking we may hear something by now.

Last week I swerved to avoid an idiot that was coming into my lane next to me. But!! The system kept pulling my steering wheel the op...
Jump to postPicking up on an earlier post I made. I deferred, perhaps wrongly, from the ground track of the flight after takeoff and throughout the climb, that the aircraft was being flown manually, and that the autopilot did not appear to have been engaged. I was not available to continue conversation where p...
Jump to postNot to stoke the flames but every piece found is small which makes me wonder if a bomb or explosion happened. I havn't seen a piece much larger than the size of your hand.

Jump to postWith all due respect Zeke is a qualified pilot and so far it's been reported they called mayday and said both engines were out. I'm not a pilot but that would be a fairly good guess at this point. A320 aborted the approach to Karachi due to problems with extension of the landing gear and performed a...

So the bullets didn't affect the pressurization? I see it climbed immediately out to 40k feet.
Jump to postReturned yesterday from HNL on AA and flight was 90% full. We stayed in a condo VRBO but the Marriott next door, Disney resort all shut down and kicked guests out. We were right under the flight paths for landing and i kept looking at flightaware and it seems there were 10 planes a day coming over f...
Jump to postI just tried to move up our spring break to hawaii and figured there would be plenty of open seats for our flights. Well there are open seats but AA said I'd be charged the flight costs which amounted to $360 per ticket x5 people so that answered my question. We also are slated to be in a wedding in...
Jump to postI posted on a another 777 forum but after looking at some random flights from flightaware I've noticed that for the selected flights it has not gone above 20,000ft. Why have they not gone higher than that after 66 plus hours of testing? Seems as though they would be pressurized at 20,000ft so why no...
Jump to postI just looked at the past several flight's and why is it that they haven't taken this bird above 20,000ft? At 20,000ft you are pressurized no? I understand being conservative but 66 plus hours into fligth testing and keeping it below 20k makes you wonder. Any insight would be great.
Jump to postI don't know i can't hardly blame the guy. The airlines should eliminate all recline option in economy period. They were the one's who shrunk down seat pitch to 30'' and for that poor bastard in the last row with no chance of reclining that'd tick me off as well. i realize he could have paid $11 to ...
Jump to postWow those wings and engine integration looks stunning from the underside. Also looks like the fairings are super clean looking from Woody's images. Thanks for sharing those pics.

Seems to be the most obvious source considering it was the Ukrainian media that leaked it. Exactly, leaking information to the press is circulating ...
Jump to postI'm not sure engine advancements are there yet to warrant this. The focus should be to get the MAX up and get the assembly line back at full song while working diligently on the NSA. They need to get 3 years of product out the doors prior to announcing the NSA or this was all an exercise in futility.
Jump to postWhile that hit looked hard and maybe was survivable I wonder if they struck something off the runway. There is a grouping of trees and in that video the black smoke happens fairly quick after they impacted the runway. Bad deal all the way around.

Jump to postWhat reason would you take off with an 18kt tailwind on your first flight?
Jump to postPull the ATC tapes and I can tell ya real quick if the pilots are in on it!
Jump to postThe fact is a clean sheet design would not eliminate either of the two aerodynamic issues displayed by the MAX, ie the shift in effective aerodynamic centre at high AoA and stall identification. I am not privy to Boeing's technology curve and arsenal, but it is entirely reasonable to expect that ev...
Jump to postThis issue is steeped in boeings past interactions with the FAA on compliance. Obviously Boeing got to a place that they were to lax and comfortable with their relationship with the FAA. Then the two disasters hit and the FAA got drug through the mud for it's lack of oversight. If I'm the FAA hell y...

Jump to postWho in their right mind would accept Max's from now til 2027? It's already got the stigma behind it and this essentially becomes a product that is dead on arrival. Boeing would have to slash prices further than they already have for 7 years to keep production and coffers flowing. I realize we live i...
Jump to postBoeing's made so many terrible decisions of late I'm fairly confident they will screw this up as well. The reactionary play to do the Max rather than the NSA was terrible. The gaffe of not taking Bombardier's C-Series program seriously for next to nothing. I don't see Embraer's E-Series as something...
Jump to postWhat has changed that makes you think a new 787-3 iteration will be the better solution? The 787 is still a long haul optimised plane with structural weight for 15h flying, not 3-7. Well it's not exactly like the 764 isn't saddled with similar bones? A quick search on flightaware shows most flights...
Jump to postEnough is enough with the 737. Boeing literally and figuratively run it into the ground. NSA is whats needed yet they keep trotting out the old tattered vet and sprinkle a little shine on it.
Jump to postThis seems like another lost opportunity from Boeing. The max was warmed over soup when it launched, and this feels much the same. They seem to be very reactionary in their decision making of late and I'm not sure what it's tied to. Thinking forward to this concept they need to extend the gear to ma...
Jump to postTo be honest it looks like they just jumped off a 10m platform into a unfilled pool. Being a fan it's hard to watch. They've had opportunities along the way to make changes and stuck with the simpler option. When Airbus came forward with the a320neo Boeing should have put its foot in the sand and we...
Jump to postHere is the video of Dale and family exiting the plane. Sounds like it was a hard landing and then careend off the runway and through a ditch and ended up by the road. Makes sense after reading the FLALFTY's comments above.

Thats fantastic news! We vacation from DSM in Siesta Key and while TPA or PIE are fine the commute on some days can be 2hr drive. That coupled with a 7a departure means getting up at 4am with kids and shuttling them up to PIE to make Allegiants scheudle.

KDFW-TV in Dallas said in a news report a couple of days ago that it would require at least 150 hours for each grounded 3M8/3M9 to get the software updates installed, fluids and engines checked, and, presumably, for pilots to be re-trained and/or re-certified before they're back in the air.

Jump to postAnd they did so at night no less, not during prime daylight like JT610 and ET302. Perhaps the third crew member of the flight previous to the accident flight could see the trim wheel spinning much better from his position and correlate the aircraft's irrational movements to that. All the other pilot...
Jump to postI've read all 26 pages but I recall a post earlier, and I'm not about to look it back up cause my head is spinning, but some pilots were concerned with the compressor stalls in the Max. I believe I read that they were concerned with the surging and voraciousness of the stalls. I'm wondering if this ...
