Hello all, I was looking at my old photobucket account and some of the photos were from yesrs gone bye. So my question is how long have been member here. For myself it will be 24 years this September. The photos make me laugh about days long past. IHAP Whoa, blast from the past! I occasionally wond...

Jump to postIt is sort of weird, isn't it? I've noticed the same thing at LAX. I understand RWSL are intended as an extra layer of safety, but I do wonder if they will inadvertently cause a runway incursion. Like, a pilot sees that the RWSL are not on, for whatever reason, and enters the runway without waiting ...
Jump to postBased on how long it takes the airplane's shadow to cover the touchdown zone, looks like it was traveling at around 155-165 knots over the ground. So pretty quick. I'd guess there was a significant tailwind component, based on the groundspeed and the airplane not wanting to sink.
Jump to postAs someone else posted.....CARDIO! If the weather sucks, go run on a treadmill or something. Weight training might get you in pretty good shape, but might not make you lose weight.

It's funny when a player who grunts loud has to run and reach for a shot. It's like they still feel like they have to grunt, but it just comes out as a little whimper.
As someone who used to work at a company that supplied parts to primes (RR, Boeing, PW, etc.), it's always a bit sad to know that all the quality requirements we were required to adhere to (AS9100, etc.) are not always followed properly by the primes.

Jump to postSo if you have a bad sore throat, fever and fatigue you are going to work? That is a little selfish IMO. I think you can decipher whether you have a cold coming on or something worse.

Jump to postLooking on Google Maps, looks like most of the runways probably have sufficient runway safety areas. Even if they're not quite up to regulation, there are other airports with much smaller RSAs that probably need EMAS sooner. Looks like the ASDA and LDA for 15R-33L is artificially shortened (more tha...

Jump to postThe A330/A350 manuals state 30 knots maximum, with 10 knots maximum for 90-degree turns. In a straight line with no threats, you let the aircraft accelerate to 30 knots, then braked down to 10-15 knots, then accelerate again and so on. Is there some sort of groundspeed readout you can use? Wheel sp...
Jump to postHi all, Given that Portland is in the midst of a strong winter storm with fierce winds out of the NW, I looked at FR24 to see if they were using rw 3 (the “crosswind runway” as deemed by planners) and to not much of a surprise all flights were using 10 L/R. If winds are out of the northwest, then r...
Jump to postand it can benefit the pilots (particularly on slippery runways) by allowing us to reduce our V1 if stopping distance is critical (as Vmc is reduced at the lower thrust rating).

It is a dark day for humanity. It's ok, the title will be vacated within 18 months. No way does the NCAA let Michigan off with just the 3 game suspension of the coach.
