I don't see why they don't just put a seatbelt on the toilet and sell it as an extra seat.

Well a DA is a “decision” altitude not a minimum descent altitude. There’s nothing in the CFR stipulating how quickly you must make said decision and how fast you need to add power and pitch up. If, while still tracking the localized and glideslope and in the process of deciding, you notice the runway lights come into view, then you can land. Just fly precisely. Less than one dot deviation on localizer puts your wheels over the tarmac when you cross the treshold. INTJ Mastermind fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Mar 23, 2018 |

Eh one of our young surgeons just died when the plane he was flying nose-dived into the ground seconds after lift off. From colleagues who worked with him in the operating room, he had passed out during an operation a couple of weeks before. He refused to seek medical attention so as to not lose his pilots license. We speculate he had another episode this time while flying and it was curtains.

overdesigned posted:I got intercepted by F-18's over the Pacific when we had all the sun shades up and a laptop on the glare shield of our KC-130 with a movie going, once. Did they want gas? How does that work anyway? I understand the whole male prong into female receptacle. More like for big operations, is there just a tanker orbiting somewhere where if you’re low on fuel you just swing by for a fill up? Or does everything have to be arranged ahead of time?

Most (all?) flight control systems measure the physical position of the flight controls.

Burden posted:1. This is their IATA code. American Airlines is AA The obvious IATA Code “SW” was already taken by the time Southwest formed. So WN was a cheeky play at Northwest Airlines, who were NW.
