Jetstar A320 Go Around Melbourne

Anyone know anything about a go around in Melbourne recently that didn't go as well as it should have?

Jetstar must be using that Airbus pilot who flew into the trees a few years back as a training captain. He didn't know that to make those things climb, you had to pull back a bit on the little joystick.

Pierre the Planecrasher, didn't he end up over here flying for Ansett at some stage?

No, he didn't fly...got a job as the gardener at the Maintenance base!

Sounds like a Thronomeister issue to me!

Buster, its not always the Thronomeister you know, the Wobulator has been known cause trouble too. However a sharp thwack with a Knockometer can quite often fix it.

The rumour I head is that the high speed Thronomeister decoupled from the sphetzner valve, causing a double diafragma failure

And how many foster kids have resulted from that eh?

Hempy, that slight tugging on your cocyx (the one near yer sphincter) should give you a clue!

Geez I hate it when you bloody intellectuals start using high faluting technical terminology - makes me feel totally inadequate.

Then to make matters worse when I try to look up the terms to get a better understanding they are not in the books I am referencing - can only imagine the terms come from a strata of intelligence and learning I will obviously have no hope of attaining.
Which doesn't make me feel any better!





cheers

Absolutely not! We NEVER disengage the A/P so if you get scared you just hit the little buttons and skyward you go, Thronomisters or not! The other we've got going for us is the Prantle-Meyer effect due to having rear-mounted engines. Read about it in the wiki.

And yes, my little bit of paper is ready to go...NOT!

Love it!

No thronomisters on the 717, just a few hundred feet of clothes line

Clearly not a Thronomeister problem. Very likely, as has been mentioned elswhere, a quasi optical nuclear powered dipthong retarder, they give way at the most inopportune of times you know!

I think we need to get the Thronomeister up on Wikipedia...it'll educate a good number of people & wannabees...and, stop all these Journo fishing expeditions!
