That white area on the front part of the engine nacelle contains the vents for hydraulic fluid during overfill or over pressure events. What I mean to say is, it won't be white for very long.

Platystemon posted:When Both Your Mind and Your Instruments Are Lying What the gently caress? How did that IRU not fail safe, have a redundancy, any kind of "implausible value" faults, or light off an incredibly loud alarm indicating essentially instrument failure? Does the crew have to ID the problem and manually toggle a switchover? Most of the IRUs I've designed into systems / craft, either civvie or "tactical" fail real hard, real fast in the event of a malfunction and let the host system know. What a terrifying, lovely situation for that crew -- RIP.

We paint the bottom of our cowlings black for exactly that reason. The "common sump drain" has every fluid that goes in an engine coming out of it at every shutdown, so the bottom of the cowling turns black ANYWAY, especially when the thrust reversers are used to keep taxi speeds low on hot days and the stuff just bakes on with dust.

How did that IRU not fail safe, have a redundancy, any kind of "implausible value" faults, or light off an incredibly loud alarm indicating essentially instrument failure? Does the crew have to ID the problem and manually toggle a switchover? The CRJ has exactly that - the EFIS comparator. It compares the left vs. right displayed values for everything on the screens, and throws a caution for a 4 degree (I think) difference in pitch or roll. But that was not enough in this case, in the face of an automatic autopilot disconnect right when both the crew were most distracted, briefing the approach, i.e., they were both looking at their approach plates and talking about them. So the captain/PF was suddenly snapped to looking at his PFD, which was displaying a huge climb quickly increasing to 30 degrees. And a flight director commanding full nose down. This kind of startle can induce a hugely constraining tunnel vision. I'd like to think that in such a situation I would have the presence of mind to crosscheck against the pitot-static indications, and the other 2 attitude indications on the panel. I would not like to find out if I'm right.

The article implies that the software hid the relevant caution indicator when it switched the screen over to "oh poo poo pitch down" mode. That's criminally negligent software design.

That's criminally negligent software design. Yeah when in 'oh poo poo mode' having errors hidden especially errors of 'your main instrument telling how you are pointed is broken' is bad. Again it comes down to several factors, blinded by cabin lights, distracted by landing checklist, instrument broken, and no distraction mode hiding the error. I'm sure once the investigation concluded this mode was adjusted to display spesific errors.

"What the hell" is probably why the village has restrictions on alcohol in the first place. I know a guy who did policework in northern Manitoba, and he basically said: don't transport liquor into dry/damp communities -- there's a reason they have those laws, the community leadership has usually deemed it necessary or prudent, and it's inconsiderate to help go against that.

No, not really. Dry county and Dry County leadership is nothing more than theocracy. Maybe don't let your passengers drink while driving/flying.

Counterpoint: this isn't the bible belt, it's remote areas where tribal leadership has restricted alcohol, usually due to extreme social ills being caused by alcoholism, and it's fairly loving rude to act against that even if it's technically legal.

We've setup Native's in an endless poverty trap and there's almost no escape. quote:Native American youth are far more likely to experiment with alcohol than other youth with 80% alcohol use reported. Low self-esteem is thought to be one cause. Active efforts are underway to build self-esteem among youth and to combat alcoholism among Native Americans. quote:Acknowledging that prohibition has not worked, in a major change in strategy since the late 20th century, as of 2007, 63 percent of the federally recognized tribes in the lower 48 states had legalized alcohol sales on their reservations.[46] Among these, all the other tribes in South Dakota have legalized sales, as have many in Nebraska. The tribes decided to retain the revenues that previously would go to the states through retail sales taxes on this commodity. Legalizing the sales enables the tribes to keep more money within their reservation economies and support new businesses and services, as well as to directly regulate, police and control alcohol sales. The retained revenues enable them to provide health care and build facilities to better treat individuals and families suffering from alcohol abuse.[46] In some cases, legalization of alcohol sales also supported the development of resorts and casinos, to generate revenues for other economic enterprises. Prohibition has never worked, will never work, and continues not to work, because its not actually solving a problem, just hiding an escape.
