General Knowledge

An FO on an a 320 who needs to ask about turning a turbine into wind strikes me as someone who did a cadetshup and landed in the right hand seat rather than someone who rose up through the ranks and went to the school of hard knocks. Even so Gas Turbine Theory should have instilled the knowledge, maybe they don't go into it that deeply with pilots, certainly got drummed into me in engineering.

You were criticised in the virgin emergency thread because you wanted to ask about fuel load. I think its a valid question. Put the fuel gauges on the inflight foxtel with the airspeed I say! I am simply reflecting that I would ask similar questions about pilots who had gone straight to the right hand seat, rather than worked their way through the ranks. AF 447 comes to mind, missing the basics, power and attitude

Turbine into wind promotes flow through the engine, pretty simple really. You should see the look on an ag pilots face after he has just cooked a PT6
