Not even W/V measuring units along a RWY can be trusted. I remember a long discussion with a MET chap (whose position was on a mayor airport) who noted bizarre wind values, even on quiet days. He found out the units could pick up vortices from departing A/C's wake.
Normally the MET observers would discard the readings as "spurious" signals, but later those values were auto-inserted in reports like ATIS. When reporting that to his superiors he was told to shut up because in that time the MET service wanted to go fully automatic w/o any human intervention anymore.... and said that if the readings were like they were, the pilots needed to be warned for that...... |
"then maybe one should take a minute to self critic and reread how to land a 737...." - relevant to any particular post, or just cast to the wind?

We fly 800s with the package and I can't find anything in the FCTM, the FCOM or the QRH performance section except data on the pitch-roll angles at which various extremities of the airframe are at risk or not depending upon whether an SFP package is installed.
The only information I am able to find online is from non-Boeing sites which in itself points to another issue regarding getting information for operators from Boeing, but I'll leave that aside. Here is what B737.org has to say, as linked to previously: As the name sais, it increases performance on short fields, for takeoffs and landings. If you calculate the incident at SAW with the BOEING OPT the difference of operational ldg. distance between the two Aircraft options is about 10% or 250m. So the statement that SFP does not affect landperf is simply wrong, and thats what i said. |
Thanks for the comeback KRH, appreciated. - PJ2

I'm not a 737 pilot, but aren't the Flaps supposed to be down during an evacuation? To allow pax to use the overwing exits?

Not to mention the flap lever still connected to the flaps.

News on Turkish TV saying the captain has been arrested. It seems he is being charged for causing death by negligence.

Vilas, you got your private license yet? Well if you got yours why don't you answer to what I stated. |
Lost in translation?
Reuters reporting that according to the preliminary report, the Dutch co-pilot did not understand guidance in Turkish and failed to brake in time:
According to a preliminary report seen by Reuters on Thursday, the control tower initially told the pilot to hold off from landing due to harsh weather.But it said the Dutch co-pilot did not understand the Turkish guidance. It said the tower then allowed the plane to land, but that the pilots did not brake in a timely manner. |
