Thanks tarjet, but I have already experienced the 737-300 from the left seat.
Very nice, docile, easy to fly. Doesn't land particularly well, but not bad if you get it right. Simple panels and switchery. Compared to a 146, very limited in what it can do. Very good at straight and level though.
The problem with doors you mention must be a very old problem. I have never heard of it happening, and it wasn't mentioned in the conversion a few years ago. Exactly when DID this happen, how many times, and was anyone hurt?
Still, I'd rather have a door dismount (on the ground) than the roof and most of the forward fuselage peel off in flight. Oh, but that's different, right?
Boeing did NOTHING about hardovers (simply blamed the pilots or wake turbulence for each incident) until forced to do so. As far as I know, the rudder actuator HAS been shown to be at fault (and has been re-designed). You should know that! BAe are far more compliant when it comes to
safety- they have done an enormous amount of work on this long before they were compelled to do so.
Finally, as some Boeings have had fumes incidents, and as the potential for disaster is far higher if a 757/767 crew becomes incapacitated (more pax), presumably you would like to see that fleet grounded?
flightsim- Yes, you are correct, he was quoting from the Aussie Senate enquiry. My point was that the info that came to light in that enquiry is not exhaustive or definitive, and not everyone agrees with their findings. If it were so clear-cut, the aircraft would be gathering cobwebs in a hangar.
Simply issuing a report on Government letterhead does not guarantee accuracy or a correct conclusion!
