This confirms something!

Awesome work GT. Great work in Australia's only 777 simulator. You've confirmed something and it has nothing to do with MH370.

Heh heh....Pastor of muppets....heh heh heh good work.

I love it how he tried to launch with the park brake on and the sim instructor quickly released it.

Credibility = zero.

So what goes on behind the closed doors of the sim in Silverwater if the only B777 sim is in Jandakot?

Flat spin???
Dive???
Idiot :)

"Gyrating through the sky" with GT - sounds like fun :eek:

Just love people who's confidence is completely out of touch with their knowledge and ability.

Will be interesting to see how long this thread lasts for but I have mentioned it before GT is directing his expertise (or lack there of & used loosely) at Mr & Mrs Joe Public, they know only what the likes of GT says & if it's on TV then it must be true, those in aviation know better.

I see the 'authorities' (also used loosely) are now revisiting the notion that the MA plane may have actually landed somewhere, I mean really these clueless 'authorities' are as lost as the plane itself!:ugh:

it confirms that GT as an aviation journalist is a worry..
 
quote..." its terrible to contemplate what must have been going through the minds of the passengers...mercifully they would have known nothing."

QUE ???

If its in the water, it was landed on the water and sank, intact? ...NO wreckage.
Nothing attributed to, found at all.

Move over Amelia E...this is THE big one. Sadly.

Lets hope the deep sea robot comes up trumps

How pathetic

Break Right 23rd Apr 2014 06:15

Weak as piss and absolutely no idea. :mad:

The language used illustrates that he has very basic aerodynamic knowledge. Perhaps it is a method of language used to communicate to Joe blog, but the act of putting this piece together is the act of a pathetic bottom dweller! What a low act and really poor excuse of a human! Insensitive and insulting!

Chocks Away 23rd Apr 2014 07:13

My my my, what fools :ugh:
Number one rule is Research and if you have questions, ask someone that knows and research more!

I can tell you, straight from the B777 FCOM, the Tripla has stall protections at altitude (amoungst other times), especially with Autopilot engaged. To get into that situation on the film would require a crew to purposely heave back on the column.


An AUTOPILOT caution message and roll or pitch mode failures alert the pilot if the envelope is exceeded, and the autopilot prevents further envelope violations.

Stall protection limits the speed to which the airplane can be trimmed. At approximately the minimum maneuvering speed, stall protection limits the trim reference speed so that trim is inhibited in the nose up direction. The pilot must apply continuous aft column force to maintain airspeed below the minimum maneuvering speed.
I won't go on further regarding auto throttle behavior and the like.
It just shows that the software of this fixed base sim in Perth is not the same as the real full flight sim in Silverwater, NOR the real B777 with the Honeywell Fly-by-wire and AIMS.
(That demonstrated stall would happen in a 737 so maybe a good idea to upgrade your software fellas?)

Not that I could do any better but

"Perhaps it is a method of language used to communicate to Joe blog,"

is called "Sunrise speak" ! :O

rodchucker 23rd Apr 2014 07:23

Music to the ears of AJ who will now claim credit for telling the world anyone can do this and we don't need all these unnecessary and well thought out overheads to get the metal into the air and back. If GT can do it on his own (almost), then anyone can do it.

Bet the spin machine is working on that angle already when they finish their current hatchet job on all pilots.

Altimeters 23rd Apr 2014 08:28

I am now dumber for watching that. What a muppet. :ugh:

Cactusjack 23rd Apr 2014 08:48

What an absolute tosspot. Thomas is a 'pilot wannabe', and the general public and people like Joyce are allowing him to indulge publicly in his fantasy and obsession. Every time he speaks he gets the facts, details and methodology of aviation wrong. There are many long serving pilots struggling to eek out an existence or progress to larger aircraft who would give their left nut to have a spot in a 777 SIM, and instead this grey haired plonker from WA gets the priveledge! I guess its good if you can get it, but I weep for some of the decent younger kids who would benefit from such a rare session.

What next, perhaps CAsA will fund him an A380 endorsement if he writes nice things about them???

SOPS 23rd Apr 2014 09:04

Please someone, stop this tosser speculating on things he knows nothing about. For a start GT, it's not Australia's only 777 simulator. Please try and get at least one fact correct.

Cactusjack 23rd Apr 2014 09:26

In general unless you get aviation info from a trusted insider or a colleague you are better off reading what Phelan or Sandilands has to say. They are normally right on the money, but Thomas........:mad:

gordonfvckingramsay 23rd Apr 2014 11:09

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the biggest thing GT has actually flown?
