I don't think solid metallic lead is all that dangerous. I mean, if he kept lead ben wa balls up his rear end for weeks on end that could be problematic, but a single jaunt with an antique mortar round is more likely to cause mechanical damage to the rear end in a top hat rather than lead poisoning.

It reminds me about how they used to train pilots to be real gentle about terrain warnings, teaching them to be real cautious about their speeds and such during the avoidance maneuvers. Nowadays they train pilots to immediately upon warning jump on their controls and ride the edge of their stall warnings the whole way up to safe altitude.

If you just set the lid down and made a sandwich it'd go out.
Why would they recommend immediately climbing at the highest safe rate? :psyduck:

How many accidents are caused by planes with in-flight mechanical failures or pilot error setting improper flight configurations that cause a plane to perform below expected parameters? What if a malfunctioning control surface is causing the plane to fight with itself? Pilot makes a sudden adjustment to climb and the tailfin sends him into a stall at the worst possible time. Or how many times has autopilot caused pilots to not realize the wind conditions they were dealing with when they suddenly took the controls? Why climb immediately?

What about those dead idiots trying to reach the 4.10 club in a CRJ-200 that burned out their engines trying to maintain a climb-rate without considering how hard that would be on the engines at higher altitudes? Pilots who, through willful ignorance, critical failures of control surfaces, or severe weather are not aware of what their plane is doing when they disengage the autopilot to climb? Gentle corrections seems like good advice to me, but I'm not a pilot so :shrug:

Sagebrush posted:

"Ride the edge" of the stall warnings indeed. This reminds me of another OSHA-related thing, where the FAA changed the standards for training new pilots due to essentially alarm fatigue.

One of the maneuvers you have to demonstrate to get a pilot's license is "slow flight," where you bring the airplane down to near its minimum controllable airspeed and show that you know how to keep the airplane safely in control. The aircraft behaves differently in slow flight than at normal speeds, and you'll be at those low speeds during the landing, so it's important that you practice controlling the plane in that regime.

Historically, the checkride standard was that you would slow the plane down until the stall warning horn started to sound -- the first stage comes on maybe ~10 knots before the stall -- and then perform all the required maneuvers while keeping the horn going, demonstrating that you were flying nice and slow.

In the last couple of decades, though, the FAA realized that this was essentially training people to fly around ignoring the stall horn. The proper response when you hear the horn is: push the nose down, full power. Don't wait, don't think about it, don't continue to fly with the horn sounding. Recover immediately. So the slow flight training and stall recovery training were contradicting each other.

As a result of this realization, they changed the standards and now you are required to demonstrate slow flight at the minimum controllable airspeed without having the horn sound. This means the maneuvers aren't quite as knife-edge as they used to be, but it also means the student's brain isn't getting mixed messages about whether you should or shouldn't be hearing the stall horn. Now it's consistent. Good ergonomic decision.
So they disable the alarm for the exercise? Or they fly at speeds high enough not to start the alarm?

I'm confused because you say "slow flight at the minimum controllable airspeed without having the horn sound" and then "This means the maneuvers aren't quite as knife-edge as they used to be" which I take to mean they aren't as risky, knife-edge maneuvers because they are flying at higher airspeeds.

Sounds like the speed required for that exercise is a little higher than it used to be so as to not set off the stall alarm.

In the new task you are flying faster.

The original task had you perform the slow flight maneuvers while keeping the stall horn sounding. The horn starts to go off about 10 knots before the stall, and a Cessna 172 stalls at 40 knots, so you'd be flying 45-50 to do it properly.

In the new task you must fly as slowly as possible without letting the horn sound, so you'd be flying 51-55 ish. At this higher airspeed the controls aren't as mushy, and you have more of a margin before actually stalling the plane. So technically the new maneuver is a little easier and a little less risky.

The ground proximity warning system large airplanes use has escalating "stages" it'll go through as the airplane gets closer to terrain or an obstacle, and crews are trained how to respond to them.

The first audio warning the crew gets will be something saying "CAUTION, TERRAIN!", or "TERRAIN AHEAD!" which will then escalate to "TOO LOW, TERRAIN!" and "TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP!".

If you just yank back on the yoke in response to a GPWS alert, there's a decent chance you'll put the airplane into an accelerated stall, so the procedure is generally something like "disengage the autopilot (if it wasn't already off), smoothly but quickly pitch the nose up to a certain point (usually something like 10-15 degrees), and add full power while doing so". Unless the airplane is flying down a box canyon or something, GPWS alerts should be early enough that those steps are sufficient to clear the terrain that triggered the alert.

Stall warning devices on small airplanes generally can't be disabled from the cockpit, so the idea is to keep the airplane at an an airspeed just above where the stall warning goes off.

Larger airplanes use a stick shaker and pusher for stall protection (the yoke starts vibrating once the airplane gets near a stall, and then get automatically shoved forwards if the crew ignores the shaker and gets closer to the stall), which typically will have some kind of way to override or disable the system if it starts going off when it's not supposed to.

I imagine it's a best compromise. The terrain warning is literally "You are flying towards certain doom while not prepared to land, woop woop, pull up"

E: The highest terrain you'll find is at 29,000ft. 410 club members need not worry.

Even ignoring possible structural issues with an abandoned well (how solid is that brickwork and could it collapse on top of you?), basic confined spaces training 101 is never enter an area like that without testing the atmosphere, there's all sorts of situations where you could end up with some sort of suffocating odorless heavier-than-air gas in there, which is an exact recipe for those accidents where one guy passes out and then the guy who goes in to get him also passes out.
