Health and Safety gone mad
I notice that one of the contaminated plumes has very nearly made a westward track towards Newfoundland, after passing over Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Southern England.
When it reaches the State of Maine or Nova Scotia, is anybody going to believe that no one can fly because of Volcanic Ash.
Get real, the Moody 747 flew through the erupting plume of the erupting volcano. The ppm density was at its highest and most destructive.
By the time it's dissipated and the ppm is very low, what is the problem.
Maybe its the Lawyers and engine manufacturers covering themselves.
For years now aircraft have been landing in desert regions with low RVR's caused by sand not moisture.
Aircraft also have in the past suffered no problems with the likes of Mt St Helens, Pinatubo, the Alaskan Peninsular and the many Volcanos in the Sea of Japan.
Start looking at what ppm density starts to cause the problems and do it fast.
It's no good sending up a Dornier, it has to be carried out on an Engine test rig by the manufacturers.
The sooner the better please, so that I can get off the ground and back home with my wife and dogs.
