Midjack posted:Better than the 737 over the last seven years, then. Per mile flown? Per flight? There are many things to consider when evaluating an aircraft’s safety, and none of them are well-served by looking at the accidents and incidents section of Wikipedia. Admittedly I’m speculating as well, but seeing a Transport-category jet burst into flames on a bog-standard route in what appeared to be VFR weather (with some possible CBs around) is not the same as an accident occurring under different regulations and/or in poo poo weather.

FT is saying the Superjet was indeed struck by lightning.quote:Shares in Russian state-run airline Aeroflot fell by more than 3 per cent to a three-year low on the Moscow exchange on Monday after a fiery crash that killed 41 people in a Moscow airport. https://www.ft.com/content/783b3eac-6fd9-11e9-bbfb-5c68069fbd15 That was first rumored, then denied, but I suppose the confusion lies in what caused the fire. It could have been a perfectly fine plane but a botched landing or perhaps the strike messed up something. Or for that matter a damaged plane but a botched landing nonetheless. Nothing like a few million volts to find gaps in your Faraday cage. Anyone know if it uses composites?

Ola posted:FT is saying the Superjet was indeed struck by lightning. The video posted earlier shows the plane wasn't on fire until it had a hard landing. So my theory is they lost some controls in the lightning strike and landed hard with a full load of fuel.

Just a heads up for folks. It is horrifying, but I couldn't help but chuckle at the normal "bing bong" noise that plays during it. I mean, to get that noise, the pilot has to press something in the cockpit that triggers it, and... I'd really like to think he should've *maybe* skipped that step in this instance.

Taking your backpack with you that is stored under the seat at your feet I can understand. Hell I would do that even. But I'm surprised the people who actually try take stuff from the overhead compartment aren't literally trampled and pushed aside by everyone else.

Especially if they've got passports and such in them. Maybe even a small shoulder bag if it has the same important documentation in it. But a backpack? Nope. If you're rushed and one of the myriad of loops on that thing catches on a piece of metal (or even an armrest) as you're hurriedly scampering through the hole in the plane left after detaching the emergency exit panel, you just rendered that avenue ineffective.

He merely flew over the moon. That makes me wonder, though: if I sail away from the US out to international waters (Beyond the EEZ) and back, do I need to report to customs when returning?

Are the nosecones of airliners the same regardless of whether or not the plane is equipped with radar? It was my understanding that the vast majority of airliners don't have their own radar. Is there some other sensor up there or functionality that needs all nosecones to be made of different material, or is it that the nosecone is kind of one piece and that if a bit of it goes, it all goes?

The centre bit is radar transparent; the surround is structure to support that bit. At the point where this one detached, it's attached by not much more than a hinge and a few fasteners. They swing open for maintenance access or for replacement.
