So you are against Israel. Yep, blaming the victim is what you island monkeys and those arabs have in common. The war in Iraq had nothing to do with Israel, though.
Bateman's research has also revealed that loss of control accidents are 10 times more likely to occur in non-fly-by-wire aircraft than their digitally flight-envelope-protected counterparts.
By this logic you already had a vote in 1972. But yes, get the fuck out already.
Meanwhile French Europe Minister Nathalie Loiseau has revealed she has named her cat Brexit. "He wakes me up every day meowing like mad because he wants to be let out, then when I open the door he just stands there, indecisive, then gives me a dirty look when I put him outside," she told Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
Not when the airplane is close to its maximum altitude, and this is where the airlines spend cruising. The tricky thing about the maximum altitude is that the engines aren't powerful enough to climb higher because there is not enough air, the airspeed must be high enough because otherwise there is not enough airflow to give sufficient lift, but not too high since subsonic aircraft doesn't fare well too close to the speed of sound. So up high the stall speed and the speed of sound are not very far away from each other and wind or a turbulence might push the airspeed into either direction. The GPS would shock a groundspeed of around 900-1000 kph in this situation, even right before a stall.
It wasn't the autopilot that was disabled, it was the trim motor, which is the proper response to a trim developing life on its own. The pilots had to crank the trim by hand afterwards and since the MCAS has no hands, it couldn't interfere anymore
The previous day crew - actually a deadheading pilot - applied the exactly right procedure because while not knowing the actual root cause his reasoning was close enough.
I wish that would be the case since Airbus makes better and safer aircraft, alas it isn't so. Ryanair - the largest European airline - is Boeing only, KLM is almost Boeing only, Norwegian too. Most other airlines have mixed fleets. But yes, the 737 is slowly retiring from service in Europe, while the Boeing long haul airplanes are still going strong. The reason why the US fleets are more mixed has something to do with cheap fuel and a lack of high speed rail keeping inefficient planes like MD-80 flying and a shitload of regional aircraft as well.
Because GPS shows ground speed but the airplane is not on the ground. With a headwind the ground speed goes down, but the airspeed goes up. With a tailwind it is the other way around. It is useless for flying. An airplane with a lightly loaded wing can actually hover in the wind, having sufficient airspeed to stay in the air, but a groundspeed of zero.
They did write it down into the maintenance log, as they should have.
They have written about "IAS and ALT Disagree shown after Take Off" and "Feel Differential Pressure Light Illuminated".
The tech crew flushed the left pitot tube and static port, cleaned the connector of the elevator force feedback unit and quickly tested both system on the ground, finding nothing wrong.
So the aircrew didn't really write about the runaway stabiliser and the tech crew didn't bother to run comprehensive checks because it would have taken too much time and some specialised equipment they probably didn't have at hand.
And here you have it all coming together - a crappy airplane, dilettante pilots and overworked technicians, resulting in a crash.
You do realise that I am German, right? I don't care how the right wingers call themselves, I just compare what they say with what they do. As for my signature, it is a nice flamebait, yes.
Too much potential hassle I really don't need. I've been to Russia a couple of times myself, but that was in the eighties when my selection of places to visit was seriously limited by the government.
All these "small government" right wingers you are talking about only pay lip service to this ideal. In reality they make the government larger whenever they are in charge.
It is not that different in Germany where we have our own comparable politicians, like Dirk Niebel for example, who promised to close the ministry of economic cooperation and development before being elected and appointed as the minister of that ministry. He quickly hired a lot of additional staff (members of his party, of course) and increased the budget of that ministry quite a bit.
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. Communism isn't just a placeholder for "policies I personally don't like", it has a reasonably clear definition. And by this definition Putin is most certainly not a communist. Even going by the standards of the late CPSU Putin would not be a communist, but a reactionary and an enemy of the people.
But it is in the manual. Here is from the manual for the 737 classic:
I. Runaway Stabilizer
CONTROL COLUMN - HOLD FIRMLY AUTOPILOT (if engaged) - DISENGAGE Do not re-engage the autopilot. Control airplane pitch attitude manually with control column and main electric trim as needed If the Runaway Continues STAB TRIM CUTOUT SWITCHES (both) - CUTOUT If the Runaway Continues STABILIZER TRIM WHEEL - GRASP and HOLD
In the 727, where stabiliser runaways were common, using the stab trim cutout switches is actually the first item on that checklist. These switches are at the same place in the cockpits of 707, 727 and all 737 versions. The only difference is that on the 707, 727 and 737 original the stab trim panel is narrower and the switches have no protection from accidental engagement.
This is why I blame the pilots, they should have known better.

Well, at least as long as you are not a passenger waiting for a flight.

Or purple.
Well, about half of the population have a below average IQ, so it is not really surprising, I guess.
You break it, you keep it.
Being the US lapdog during the Iraq war has consequences.
Except a 737 is not a fly by wire airplane with envelope protection.
They are. Yet, people being people, they sometimes do stupid things.

There are way more than 25 Brits living in Russia or being there for work related reasons.

The classic stick pushers work that way. Unfortunately pilots tended to disbelieve and overpower them, which lead to several crashes.

Both Putin and Erdogan, who sign these kinds of laws, are as right wing as it is possible to be without completely crossing the line to fascism.
Amen to that. I can speak Russian more or less fluently, but I most certainly won't visit Russia any time soon.
