I know and respect your experience and I’m not trying to pick a fight.

RLE.

It would appear to be cheating now but I could tell you even when drunk that it is ‘spigot in line with the plunger, plunger in line with (or slightly recessed) the housing’. I also fully...

Would it be possible for you to give us a bit more detail on the claim that so few aircrew knew how to correctly check the top latch?

Lots to answer...

Tucumseh.

When I said “give it a rest” I was not referring to the broader discussion of airworthiness. I was referring to the “it wouldn’t have happened in my day” brigade. I have no problem with...

I first started flying aircraft with zero/zero bang seats in 2002. At least as far back as that we have been replacing pins on the taxi back. Indeed in certain aircraft we would fully unstrap and...

It's one thing to have an opinion. Quite another to use an anonymous website to air it for all to read.
