Apparently the "hijackers" of 9/11 were "real pilots". Why did they exceed the Barber pole/red line by 120-150 knots if they were taught that exceeding such limits could cause aircraft structural failure or loss of control?

no, there were terrorists , that is a big difference they just firewalled the lever without even knowing what a barber pole is and what affects may come.

I notice your registration date to Pprune. Are you willing to agree with "ADDIS77" and "GR53" that it is "easy" to control an aircraft at Vmo+150? Especially for a pilot with less experience than one who couldn't hit a runway in a 172 at 65 knots?

i dont know since i never in my life exeeded Vmo at 150 knots. and i can tell you NO pilot do such a thing.

If so, numerous verified 757/767 Captains from American and United Airlines, including NASA Flight Engineers who designed high performance flight control systems, disagree with you.

i dont understand. where did they disagree with me? i hope you do not want to say that a real 757/767 captain exeeds Vmo by 100 or more knots in everyday business...

the key in my answer is that you will not get an answer to your question. its a situation a real driver in every case avoids. you can see from 9/11 that a 767 is able to fly far above barberpole- but at what speed this thing will seperate no human pilot will tell you, maybe a black box.

you want this for 9/11 theories?
