Okay, given this thread's hard-on for seaplanes: https://www.neam.org/ac-sikorsky-vs44.php *I* kinda want to see this thing now. A transatlantic seaplane built by a company famous for helicopters. Quite pro-click, check the bottom of the page for a link to a 360 panorama of the cockpit.

Kathmandu Q400 crash was due to a emotionally unstable pilot. The copilot was a rookie as well, so she probably didnt dare to intervene. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/28/nepal-plane-crash-caused-by-emotionally-disturbed-captain

What could a co-pilot do to stop an emotionally u stable pilot from doing stupid poo poo like crash into a mountain? Genuine question, I have no idea how cockpits etc work.

Try to talk them down, or if there's no time, attempt to incapacitate them with a large, heavy object applied to the side of the head. When done properly, it will fulfill the nutter's wish for death and everyone else's wish to continue living. People who take others with them during suicide attempts are the absolute worst specimens of humanity. EDIT: In this case it doesn't seem like he was actively suicidal that we know of, so that makes the issue a little less clear. He was distraught and distracted throughout the flight, in which case I think it would be prudent for the first officer act as Pilot Flying, declare a medical emergency, and try to land somewhere that doesn't involve a particularly difficult approach that requires both pilots to be at the top of their game.

If they were legitimately trying to crash the plane there’s a crash axe that could also be used as a weapon. I’d probably also unlock the cockpit door at that point and have the FAs help subdue the CA as well. But really there’s no training that we go through for such a scenario.

When done properly, it will fulfill the nutter's wish for death and everyone else's wish to continue living. Also highly depends on how many helping hands there are, assuming you didn't get locked out of the flight deck when you went to take a poo poo. In a plane carrying passengers with a full flight crew, you're probably good. There's a whole lot of people vested in not dying on board. In a cargo plane with maybe 1-2 other people on board, not so much... just ask the flight crew of FedEx 705. They made it, but they'll never fly professionally again. xergm fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jan 28, 2019 |

There's been a Skycrane hull loss https://www.9news.com.au/2019/01/28/22/05/victoria-news-water-bombing-plane-crash-jericho-mount-gregory-thomson-dam-bushfires The good news: quote:The three crew members – two pilots and an engineer – all safely escaped the aircraft and swam to the edge of the Thomson Dam, which is located next to Mount Gregory.

This Star Citizen weirdo asked on Twitter what landing gear this comes from (if it even is real) and now I really want to know Any guesses? Is it just a dumb prop? I've been trying to figure it out but I don't really even know where to start

It doesn't look like that linked mechanism is built to support the (even if partial) weight of an airplane that would use that tire size.

Brief update on the ANA dual engine shutdown: The TCMA (thrust control malfunction accommodation) system will shut down an engine on the ground to protect against runaway or high uncommanded thrust, such as in the event of an RTO where the engine stays at high thrust. This is an FAA required system due to some incident back in the late 90s. What happened with ANA appears to be as reported, retarding the throttles too soon after landing in order to apply reversers. There's some timer logic in the EEC which in some specific scenarios can cause the system to activate after landing. Due to the differing software logic, GEnX isn't affected by the conditions seen in the ANA incident. It also can't happen in flight. There was one prior occurrence in 2016 where this happened, a safety review was conducted and ultimately the only action was an EEC software update for the Trent 1000s that came out in Q4 2017.

That skycrane in lake photo reminds me of a black and white pic I saw, possibly WWI, of a dead horse stuck in the mud somewhat upside down.
