RYANAIR pilots breaking 250kIAS limit OCAS

[croc]

Break the speed limit get fined !! and what about the comfort or nervous pax, gear and speedbrake will really enhance there trip.

Hugmonster - When you fly an aeroplane that will do over 250kts below 10, then you will understand !

[HugMonster]

Extra, I have flown aircraft that will exceed the speed limit - don't assume that because I currently don't, I never have!

CAVOK day - ATC clears a/c for visual approach/no speed control/keep speed up to
the marker/running late.

All of these and many more make the old horns
come out and its game on - trouble is we tend
to forget sometimes that we have lots of
paying punters down the back. As one who has
sat in the back of many a transport aircraft
at low level it can be b-----dy uncomfortable. I try to remember that feeling
and hopefully make my passengers will want to
come back again - surely all airlines would
want the same from their crews - apart from
Easy, at least according to the TV show of
course !

Going off slightly at a tangent~ consider the outcome of a bird strike at high speed:
compare 220 knots against say 320 Knots !

[YouNeverStopLearning]

parkfell: good point.

Xponders: There is currently a proposal very close to implementation that ALL aircraft will be required to carry 'C' Xponders to stop false and nuisance TA's and RA's.
Not my idea.

[AffirmBrest]

You won't get an RA from a conflict with an aircraft without Mode C. You can get a TA, but they're not really much of a nuisance, just a reminder to look out more.

Still no reason to justify forcing the expense of Txponders on glider pilots/PFA types etc. Though I'd personally much prefer to have one than not...
