Putting on my corporate "can we do it cheaper" hat, IF it is found to be erroneous inputs from the only AOA sensor in the village, howzabout one each separately fed BIG white needle analogue AoA indicator high up in either the coaming or instrument panel easily seen & understood by PF & PNF and any ...

Despite the Garuda order being in jeopardy there are and will be other airlines happy to operate a suitably debugged 'frame. Who has forgotten the post-THY Ermenonville horror and the baggage door fiasco of falsified factory documentation? DC10s continued to move SLF despite Sioux City and MD-11s co...

Hello again Boac, was it the link in my postin # 69 and the comments various which I found by scrolling on after the system description?

Page 4 of the postings on this topic.

Hi BOAC, are you referring to posting # 42 on this thread? If so I plead guilty (diminished responsibility m'lud) !

Otherwise I'm baffled but pleased to be mentioned.

Re the Bloomberg jump-seat pilot article I am reminded of the post 9/11 paranoia where many companies won't permit non-operating crew riding jumpseat in case they go mad and crash the plane. Inverse thinking on security? Usually the rigged jumpseat and presence of "friendly force" in the cockpit wou...

Late acquisition but just signed.

Is it worth promulgating in T O P to get more signatures if not done already?

IIRC there has been considerable chatter in the last couple of years at least concerning lowered morale, bad management and dodgy practices (to mention but a few problems) in the Boeing organisation. Before I got hacked off with T O P I recall many postings on the topic and some long before the 787 ...

https://ad.easa.europa.eu/page-1/ Nice to see this lot are on top of the problem?! After 6 pages I lost the will to live having got depressed by the amount of bumph regarding Airbus and other makes. One reference to the 737 Electronic Flight Bag, one to the 777, one to the 727 flaptracks inspection ...

Does anyone know if there is a history of incident reporting from those who may have encountered this type of event on a Max and survived to bring the 'frame to earth in one piece like the precursor to the Lionair accident? Does what's left of our CAA have any light to cast on the issue or are the l...

Some interesting comments towards the end of this page. Food for thought even though the opinions are post-Lionair and pre ET.

The next time I can't get to sleep I will distract myself by dreaming up an aptitude/command selection test for the said beanstealers and management who daily make the lives of aircrew more intolerable as time passes. I'd start with a session on the infamous "Compass Test" and then go on to a panel ...

Fox3. I dispute that fully automatic flying is necessarily smoother. Always on the NG my ex JP instructor's desensitised arse felt the pitch reduction then increase when the 'frame followed the A/P demands to increase IAS from 250 to 280kts on a European departure. I always engaged VS mode and tease...

Maybe time for the major aircraft design teams to be forced to watch "2001:A Space Odyssey" & to learm HALs chilling words-"I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that". I've always wondered if there is ever a proportion of the design teams who are grumpy old pilots who've read more accident reports tha...

Higgins has a future in fiction writing but zero prospects in aircraft accident investigation. What a load of tosh! Alas the poor relatives of the missing are subjected to this type of arrant nonsense. I will stay with the oxy-box fire in the flight deck and the avionics bay fire theory, both of whi...

Has there been analysis of the Lionair CVR published yet?

Or will we have to wait as long for an official report as we've had to after the Ryr Ciampino crash?

I won't hold my breath for either at my age, not good turning blue!

Might be ex-RAF pilot(s) with radio failure just repeating what they were taught at B F T S and subsequently it's all been misinterpreted. . . .

Why is it that popping back into this room from a long absence it's like walking into a sitting room with lovely furniture, a lingering waft of woodsmoke, similar waft of alcohol and friendly bunch of old and new friends? The "other place" is hostile and full of 'eejits' through whose drivel I have ...

THE REAL DRONES. The responsibility for this disaster lies with the 650 drones in the House of Commons who are currently performing their Christmas panto entitled "Carry on Brexit". They and the security and aviation authorities have known about this risk for years and have done NOTHING EFFECTIVE to...
