A320, cool! What did you fly previously? Anything interesting or challenging about transitioning to Airbus?

KodiakRS posted:Breaking news: NTSB syas CVR and flight data recorder are indicating a last second attempt at a Go around. Hey Kodiak and other ATP people, I read that the stick shaker activated approximately 4 seconds before impact. I assume that is way too late for a go-around, as even a Cat III-B ILS approach has a decision height of what, 50 feet to the ground? They weren't on the ILS as it was inop but was there anything they could have done when the stick shaker activated at that height? Should it be an immediate reaction to advance the throttles and call go around as soon as the stick shaker activates? Do you think that would have done anything at 4 seconds vs the 1.5 seconds that they did advance the throttles?

KodiakRS posted:Depending on what's happening you can "go around" even after the wheels have touched down. On a normal approach 4 seconds before touchdown wouldn't be a problem. However on this approach they had the engines at idle (not normal for a jet) and were so slow that they were in what's known as the backside of the power curve which is a situation that takes a LOT of thrust or altitude to recover from. It remains to be seen when they actually increased thrust. The 7 second slow call, the 4 second shaker activation, or the 1.5 second go around call. Thanks! Aren't there some aircraft that prohibit go arounds once or before wheels are down? Maybe I was thinking of just company policy in some handbook I downloaded. And what you're saying about the engines being at idle make sense. I've flown (as a complete amateur) in an md-11 and md80 simulator before and the time it takes to spool from idle to 40% n1 seems to take as long as 40-95% n1. Less than 50 hours on type and first landing at the field. Yikes. (Per CNN.com animal) sellouts fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jul 8, 2013 |

What was bad about flying them in the flight levels?

How could the answer not be the plane? What kind of stuff were they auctioning off?

E.pie check these out http://pilotcerts.laartcc.org/page/Home They do a similar thing at pilotedge only the ATC is even more (much more) legit.

You guys that are fed up with the regionals or trying to get there should just go fly these. I think I saw one white guy (the only non-maldivian I believe) flying them. 2500 VFR, GPS direct and barefoot in shorts.

SCOTLAND posted:Also the 787 HUD is amazing fyi. The Automation and aircraft logic systems going from the 767 to the 787 is nuts so far. What are some things that you've been impressed with on the logic and automation sides? I find that sort of stuff really interesting.

CharlesM posted:That's a lot of A380s though. That's pretty impressive. According to Wikipedia they also have 96 777-300ERs. Wow. Dxb is an absurd airport from this aspect. Taxiing around it is just 380 after 380 and so many 777s that you kind of lose scale for just how big they are. They use 2x 773s a day to the Maldives. I find that to be insane.
