In my opinion, definitely YES!! We clearly have been trained very differently.

In my experience, 50 feet above the runway in fog is not a bad and dangerous place to fly a plane manually. It is...

I totally agree. And yet, we clearly look at this from two entirely different directions. I believe that for fundamental maneuvers close to the ground (Takeoff, Go Around, Rejected Landing) that...

Apparently company SOP was that the pilots abort/reject the landing when getting a RAAS alert. No option. That's the point here. These pilots had apparently been trained/conditioned to be system...

Not necessarily. If the pilot had manually pushed the thrust levers forward and established a climb rate and then pushed the TOGA buttons, once away from the runway the automatics may have kicked in...

Clearly we disagree. I believe we can prevent no thrust go arounds just as we prevent no thrust take offs. Both are impossible. However, a no thrust GA is much much more dangerous than a no thrust...

Depends entirely on the programming, and that is up to the customer. RAAS can be programmed to be inhibited only after all three gear are on the ground. The nosegear never touched the ground in...

I agree that the logic and inputs related to RAAS alerts need to be looked at hard to avoid unnecessary Go Arounds. But no matter how well the RAAS functions, the fact remains that a Go Around...

These "traps" only exist if the pilots:
1. Fail to understand the systems they are (seemingly) totally reliant on AND
2. Fail to fly the airplane.

To me, both are a training problem, and...

The autoothrottle is part of the auto pilot system. The autopilot has multiple modes such as takeoff, cruise, and approach. When in takeoff mode the TOGA switch activates the Take Off function. ...

td, this is not entirely correct, as the loss of Lauda Air Flight 004 (the first 767 loss) sadly proved. That was the seminal event that resulted in a truly fail-safe thrust reverser design.

1. They did not "bounce" 85 feet. The aircraft had a normal (although long) landing and then after touchdown the crew elected (apparently due to company SOP regarding long...

With no thrust you're in a glider and in the glide the pilot would (presumably) keep airspeed at least at 1.2 Vs. The excess speed can be traded for a reduction in descent rate. Its not much...

Do it right and you can achieve zero descent rate for a short period in most aircraft, but probably not in an A320. The AOA protection would seem to prevent that. The trick during a ditching is to...
