Julie, if the main landing gear has NOT touched the asphalt, the response from the engines is nearly immediate, during the approach, the EEC, Electronic Engine Control, sets the two "fans" at a higher "idle", around 25-28% N1, compared to the flight idle, which means that the

!! a beauty to behold! but i once spoke to the driver, he said he had to take a 3 months course with Lamborghini, and the car itself is electronically limited to 3rd gear and max 60km/h. Like, wtf🤌🏻
Holidays are over, and it's time to get back at it!!! Let's bring this beauty up in the sky for a nice turn around!!! Two sectors, back home around midnight!!

Having seeing the video a couple of times, and noticing the right wing drop and the pitching down, I must assume the fellas encounter a sudden wind shift (windshear) and reacted accordingly. It's called Windshear Escape Maneuver, the basis is the same for the Go Around, except we

Immediate offload, and called upon breathalyzer so I have proof backing up what i'm saying, and also for my other pax to see; but definitely offload the comedian wannabe.

never fails to surprise... 200kts is a"pretty" safe V2, that will keep us afloat even at heavy weights, 10,000ft covers pretty much many of the MSA's in the Northern Hemisphere apart from Alps and such, but i'm just missing the "read between the lines" of the heading
You have absolutely no idea, no clue, remotely, about the efforts, sacrifices, sleepless nights, do overs and constant screening/checking, that lies behind having the honor of wearing THAT uniform, either being a copilot or captain. So i suggest you stick to matters you know, 1/2
When your flight is cancelled due to the Westjet strike or the price for every other airline ticket skyrockets, remember, this is because the WestJet pilots think $300k just isn't enough.
Read & RT as I break down their current contract.
@StationC17
I can. I’ve done a thread on it.
Those pics are a mix of water ballast tanks, the MAFFS firefighting system & fuel dump valves.
I think I saw a cloud seeding flare system, too.
Signed, sealed, delivered!! checkride was a pass this morning, I just loved it!! maneuvers and procedures we don't do on the line, yet, they are beyond useful in honing and "refreshing" those handling skills we need when the proverbial "poop" hits the fan!!

Redeye flights still get me, despite all these years! So many theories behind how to better adjust to time zones changes, long haul, short-medium haul flights, at the end, you do what works best for you!! Me? eat when i'm hungry and sleep when i'm tired, regardless of what time
Well, time to get back to work. Day one of a seven days cargo trip, FRA-MEX-BCN-DWC. Me happy, me flying! Wife?! Not really impressed...🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️!!

yes it does Julie, Close to the ground and up to about 5000'ft it is considered "geostrophic", meaning it does change in speed and direction given the "shape" of the land where it's blowing; above that altitude, it just follows the normal pattern of its respective cell
Opened up curtains to this today!! Nah, I will skip the sightseeing this time, finish up the last few pages of my paper logbook, hit the gym, and rest before the long night ahead of us!

Mmhh, clear re-enactment of the 747SP which flew over the springboks stadium in CT for the world cup, some decades ago. Safety wise? A bit sceptic honestly, one aircraft at a sufficient height can maneuver out and away, those two Safair in close formation appears to me not more

Captain heard the plane couldn’t take standby passengers due to weight restrictions. He called the Operations Center on his cell phone to argue for more fuel. He got 9 more passengers on board. Thanks Captain and this awesome

Son saved up his allowance for an RC plane, so we went to the shop today.
They won’t sell to anyone under 13 (he’s 8)…

Couple people gather to watch. I tell him “small inputs” & he’s off.

Problem is, Kelly, the youngsters will never be able to orientate 'emself without moving maps, ipads, or such. Just like the full on glass cockpit on the trainers; imo we are trading the fundamentals of training and learning for the sake of keeping up with a commercial aspect of
When the FO forgets to flare during landing, but it’s too late to take over.
Subsequently, a few weeks later over tea and biscuits with Flight Safety.
