With all respect,
Can someone confirm that the FARs would allow this condition? From what I've quickly gleaned (Gimli Glider) the RAT should always provide enough hydraulic pressure for the primary...

I tried to estimate the obstacle clearance of BA038's flight path by comparing the FDR trace and Google Earth. It appears to have crossed A30 about 5 sec before touchdown at about 100 ft height. At...

No, but the crew's conversation is hardly relevant to the the root cause of this accident.

Yes, basically the requirement has to be included in the aircraft certification standards in order to get things to happen. And for that to happen there usually needs to be evidence of a number of...

ChristiaanJ,

that's exactly my point, with today's computer technology it would be no big deal to design a capable integrated autopilot/autothrottle. It's about time, too, considering the technology advances in...

Dated1,

I'm fairly convinced the subject of a possible "stretching the glide" will be included in the accident report. As I see it, the report may suggest one of three things:
a) do nothing;
b) recommend...

Tex37

This clogged fuel vent theory seems to be a recurring favourite here on Pprune.
It's certainly feasible in theory. At our airfield we had a case of a totally "imploded" fuel tank on a light...

Flight Safety

Not a bad suggestion. I'd guess it would be comparatively easy to do a test to find out where any vacuum induced temporary buckling/collapsing of the fuel piping might occur. Those locations could...

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand the question 100%. I believe there are several posters here with a much better knowledge of the B777 tank construction than myself.

What I can add is the regulatory...

Frost

I agree fully with Chris. This is based on a survey of about 50 photographs of landing B777s showing the wing undersides. I can find only one picture possibly suggesting wing surface frost in the...

PBL, Demomonkey

I think you are sidetracked by this proposed obstacle-avoidance software. Let's look at the feasibility of the original proposal, which was an autopilot sub-mode that would fly the plane to its best...

Well, in my world an engine failure means a loss of the energy supply. Which is a good reason to use the airplane's remaining energy in the optimal way.

Hi demomonkey,

thanks for your comment. However, I still believe it's technically doable with reasonable effort.



The words in (my) italics are the key here. Complete engine failure on final approach is...

Re: Sunfish, Airfoilmod and irritation

Good posts. Aviation safety development is based on openness and frankness. While adhering to that leads to extraneous "naive worthless contributions" and other extra "noise", my feeling is that that...

Hi Topslide6,

thanks for the comment. I just like to stress that I'm not blaming the crew in any way here. The situation was apparently so extraordinary that one can't realistically expect more.
