um excuse me posted:Ft*lb is a gross unit of energy a lot because it's the same unit as torsional force. Confuses a lot of people for that reason. But to answer the question, you can use that to figure out if the brakes will be large enough simply by knowing a vehicles mass and speed. E=1/2mV^2. If the energy of the vehicle is greater than the energy rating of the brake, you need a bigger brake. Why should this be a memory item for the pilot of the aircraft?

Animal posted:This is true. You also have guys who are great pilots and have paid their dues and then legacy airline HR departments will reject them for the most fickle reasons like “he’s got too much PIC time maybe he’s too set in his ways.” Then they’ll turn around and hire some 26 year old rich kid with only two jobs in his resume.  did that guy know anything about Delta?

With Boeing throwing temper tantrums and Trump in the White House it would not surprise me to see Delta flying them well into the 2020s because they can't get the C-series and A321s they ordered.

Sagebrush posted:So why are they delivering so few? Just because there are no pilots, or because they're so expensive? Probably because maintenance requirements for aircraft mean that some massive percentage of every plane they've built is still flying. The new car market would be pretty hosed if used cars had their engines replaced every 5 years and the body didn't change. edit: I mean you're flying the very first cessna 152 off the line and its looks all shiny. What do you think a 1977 model year car from detroit that student drivers drove every day would look like?

Are the standards for flying through/around thunderstorms different in other countries? Supercells with powerful down bursts that can knock a plane out of the sky are not as common outside the US

Bob A Feet posted:That makes sense. It’s amazing he didn’t kill himself doing the lopsided maneuver he did at such a low altitude. I’m just amazed the thing could handle the Gs he pulled doing it. I imagine he hit the "must overhaul aircraft if this is hit" g limit but thats different from the "airplane literally falls apart" g limit.

PT6A posted:What I'm concerned about is the students who feel like they will be ready for an airline gig at 300 hours. That indicates a dangerous lack of self-awareness. I'm over 400 now and I still don't know jack poo poo; one of our former instructors who's just now upgrading to captain at Georgian admitted he felt the same way even after he'd got his ATPL. Being a safe pilot means realizing you always have new stuff to learn. How many hours does the typical military transport pilot have when they hop in the right seat?

They both had little experience flying into icing conditions... which clearly doing 1500 hours of pattern work at a flight school in Florida will help with

PT6A posted:Yeah, the only thing I can think of is the captain was thinking "the plane is WRONG I can't be in a stall!" or he didn't realize what those systems are and what they do; either way, a big failure of training that goes beyond inexperience with icing conditions. Which is why the FAA went with "he was fat and didn't have a CPAP"
