From the "Third-in-Command" according to 411A

Stilton, thank you for your support. I have not wished to "throw stones" at any other poster to this forum, however I find it disappointing that some seem to dismiss any input from other than a...

Third in Command

411A, I have never questioned who is in command. Of course it is, and has to be, the Captain unless he becomes incapacitated, either physically or mentally. My point has been that your comments...

Erroneous figures?

Point8six, the figures used were not mine, they came directly from the ATSB report. I would hope they are authentic.

F/O (incorrectly) commenced a go-around.

DW, I respect your experience and I agree with most of what you say. That said, I still firmly believe that the benefit of using all available means of reducing speed should be used. We all accept, I...

Stopping effort

Weido-salt, thanks for the vote of confidence, and I apologise to all if I allowed myself to get "off-thread", however I felt I had to respond in the way I did to a couple of comments made by others....

Reverse Thrust

DW, My comment was in support of Stilton who had disagreed with your statement that "it makes no difference to landing distance and saves significantly on brake wear" if idle reverse thrust is used...

Effect of Reverse Thrust

Apples and Oranges

411A, my reference to the QF B747-400 over-run at Bangkok was purely to illustrate that Captain's, as well as F/O's and F/E's are not infallible and that Captain's can, and do, make mistakes. If you...

One Man Bands

411A, Surely you do not contend that it is only F/E's who make mistakes. Of course, any F/E who would take it upon himself to "Fire Handle" an engine without (a) being requested to do so, and (b)...

411A, I know you have spent many years on the L1011 and I am sure you are a very experienced Commander. You do, however, seem to believe that it is only the experience of the Captain which saves the...

Will it Fly on 2 Engines?

Have a read of www.dm.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123075451 (http://www.dm.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123075451) for a recounting of a USAF C141 Starlifter going double asymmetric at about 200'AGL after...
