Sagebrush posted:IIRC in that particular incident they also put some of the blame on NOTAM fatigue -- the runway closure being buried below five hundred NOTAMs about 200 foot cranes and above the ones warning against overflights of Syria -- which is something I think every pilot in America has griped about at some point. Yes. I may be reading a bit too much into it but they also blame not tuning the ILS which was company policy in night visual approaches (and usually done automatically by the FMS, but isn’t when a visual approach is selected) and then “ineffective crew resource management”. It is of course all NTSB neutral language but I kinda feel like they’re throwing the FO a bit under the bus as the pilot monitoring. (They also notes that he called a go around at the same time the capt was starting to apply TOGA thrust)

I had to print out the NOTAM's for my flight test...31 pages worth. None of it relevant.

Is that this incident? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLEGir9lzBo For an industry that's all about eliminate systemic safety issues, you'd think they would figure out how to avoid flooding pilots with irrelevant information that will only distract from the actual threats.

Due to that culture you mention, those holes are being vigorously probed and stabbed at by some small but significant number of unsuited pilots, and the line-ups will all be found if we can't fix the culture.

Does there happen to be a biz jet that’s notorious for having a high-pitched whine? I’m at my parents near Louisville and the Kentucky Derby was yesterday so a billion little jets were in town. Last night I heard something overhead that felt like a smaller jet from the normal turbine noise but there was also a very loud whistling/whining noise. Overcast so I didn’t see anything. Could have just as easily been a ragged UPS 737 for all I know (Louisville is a hub) but I wondered if that was a known issue for one of those smaller planes.

Smaller turbines tend to have a more piercing sound, and older designs are definitely louder than new ones. Maybe just someone's vintage Learjet. The only business "jet" I can think of that has a truly distinctive sound is the Piaggio Avanti. It is noticeably high pitched and louder than similar more conventional planes. It's a turboprop, but if you're not totally sure it was a jet, and you were surrounded by rich folks flying in, it could certainly have been one of those.

I realize it's not helping you now, but I'd put ADSB exchange on your phone. it's just a wrapper around the webpage but it works really well at "wtf just flew over me" the whiniest bizjet I've personally heard and remembered enough to look up was a Falcon 2000, but I think it's much more a factor of turbine size than Dassault having it out for my ears personally.

david_a posted:Does there happen to be a biz jet that’s notorious for having a high-pitched whine? I never thought I'd be in a position to ask anyone this: is the Kentucky Derby still decadent and depraved? Also I've learned things from the SE-116 Voltigeur: 1. Post World War 2, France considered building a flying boat airliner; but unlike Saunders-Roe, they built a model first. The French then - I'm not really sure what the French say to approximate "meh" or similar - but they said that and the project was abandoned. It was smol   2. I don't think the idea of a basic skyjeep for COIN is bad. I think a STOL airplane (like the DH Buffalo) might be able to supplement helicopters, at least historically. But the SE-115 got dirt road-ed by the fact that those sorts of general purpose aircraft can have a lot of substitutes, especially if it is the late 1950s and WW2/postwar aircraft are cheap as chips. The fact that it got replaced with American aircraft first by the French, and then the Americans used the same aircraft in the same war made it a tough sell. The fact that France ran out of money, also a negative.  3. I knew France produced Ju 52s, but they also produced Fi 156 Storchs, renaming them Crickets? 4.

Crossposting with the A/T aviation thread in case anyone has some suggestions: Does anyone have or know of a good LED penlight with a red LED/lens? I've been using a Streamlight Stylus Pro for years and it's fantastic for daytime use but they don't make a red light one. There are plenty of chonky "tactical" red flashlights but I'm specifically looking for that penlight form factor. I'm about ready to get another Streamlight and some red nail polish to paint on the lens.

My favorite was when Atlantic would fill a contract for Amerijet, and a beat to absolute poo poo and put away wet DC-3 would taxi up to cargo city and load in between 727s, A300s, and 767s. It loving ruled.

The light you get out of a gelled white light and a truly monochromatic LED is quite different. There are pros and cons to each. And also, red light isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be for preserving night vision, but it’s impolite to use white lights at public astronomy events regardless.
