Slickster

I have a feeling that you might be one of the 'nightmare' F/Os of my experience in a very large British airline. Senior F/Os who spent their entire working lives shuttling to and from...

No, certainly not. However, he made a terrible decision to leave the flight deck at all, considering the weather up ahead.

He should never have been out of the loop at all.

Lyman, you're right, but if the captain had never left the flight deck, he probably would have prevented the initial pitch up, and would have been 'oriented' as to the developing problem.

Slickster, that is all so true. Modern aircraft seem to be full of nasty technological traps.

The 777 has a Thrust Asymmetry Compensator (TAC), which puts the rudder in for you with an engine...

The astronauts are weightless only while the aircraft is 'bunting' over, accelerating downwards, and pushing negative 'g'.

In orbit, the vehicle is constantly accelerating downwards (a process...

No, Mr Optimistic, you didn't miss that bit.

This guy sat there with the stick held fully back, presumably wondering why the pitch attitude was so high, the airspeed so low, and the RoD so high.

Lord give me strength!

There was no b*oody deep stall, man.

The pilot held the stick hard back. THAT is what kept the aeroplane stalled.

Whenever he got tired and released the back-pressure,...

Help me out here, guys. Is it me, or are Lyman's posts increasingly odd?

TTex600,

The principle is, perhaps, the same. It doesn't matter what the autoflight system is aiming at if the back-force is released - a trimmed speed or a certain 'g'.

Fact is, these guys...
