Curious to know the CAA's rationale for that. If they're genuinely worried about the "real" fatigue life of these aircraft, what's their basis for declaring +3g is "OK"? I doubt BAE would have...

You're right in what you say GtE, but my interest and concern comes from earlier in the process than that. By the time we get round to the safety reviews you're talking about the trial scope has...

Fligth Safety Risk

Shame I'm rather too far away to be able to go to that symposium. I wonder if there will be any discussion on the negative aspects of risk analysis. I've been involved in far too many scenarios...

Bit late in on this thread, but the following may be of interest. It comes straight from the gospel's mouth, the Gospel being Reggie Stock, ex Huntings and then BAe cheif test pilot for the Mighty...

Yep, Data Link did fly in a development Lightning, and if you get to talk to the wonderful Jimmy Dell, he'll tell you it was very impressive. But as 'Mate notes, just as well it didn't make it into...

Brian's quite right in the description of how it's derived, but the regs don't give the underlying rationale. I've promised my doctor that I wouldn't get sucked into the discussion on defining...

MEP spins

No advice worthy of the name. In my experience the theory's one thing but the variables between individual aeroplanes, and the large number of factors that affect spinning characteristics in...

Got me thinking about this one now. My immediate reaction was agreement to the statement about engines falling off if a big jet did spin, but then I thought about it some more. First, the rotation...

Spinning airliners

Sure - I reckon the usual laws of aerodynamics aren't that corrupted or negated by scale, so if you can get to a sufficiently high angle of attack, and you can overcome the natural directional...

I'm no expert, but here's my view, for what it's worth.
When the aircraft's pitching, rolling or yawing, the mass of the aircraft - disposed about the CG - and the rate of rotation in each axis...
