American Airlines AA2912, Flying down to DC
Pete Fleischmann replied to John1's topic in General Discussion
Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System. B757/767/777 for sure. I never flew the 737 or 787, (save for barrel-rolling the 787 sim and making the Fleet captain go ape feces) so can’t speak to those. I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen someone try to get that monkey rollin’ a high energy go-around is equally entertaining Pigfyter -

probably descending through 10k would be typical. As a general technique, if I turn off the AP I will almost certainly turn off the AT. Sometimes I’ll turn off the flight directors as well; but if I do I’ll select the FPV on the PFD. The AT is good to have engaged when it is really gusty. Helps a lot. If you do choose to manually disengage the AT, make sure you pull the thrust levers back to make the thrust lever position indicators match the actual thrust pointers on the EPR or N1 (as appropriate) then hit the instinctive disconnect switch on the thrust levers. If you just hit the disconnect switch, the power will advance all the way to climb power, because the thrust levers are in the climb detent. and then you’ll have a handful of jet. P Not all 737’s have HUD’s. Just depends what options the customer ordered. -

You are simply choosing to fly it this way. I turn the auto thrust and AP off for virtually every landing. There is no SOP at my airline to leave the AT engaged for landing unless it is an auto land. ….and EICAS is a Boeing thing. You meant to say ECAM. P -

How effin cool is this- she’s a big girl, and needs some big legs. Timmy! Engineered all of this; incorporating brass inserts vertically and horizontally and high strength resin to ensure maximum strength…and the whole thing clicks together without glue. Ridiculous. This has easily saved me months of traditional scratch building, failures, and frustration. The whole assembly just drops into the wing- Those are Timmy’s! Fingers BTW- super cool. P

Looking great Chuck- The shape of the F-16; along with its significant dialectic areas, makes it particularly prone to accumulating a static charge, which can be tough on any equipment operating in the RF spectrum. Also; the F-16 is really just a bunch of computers flying in formation. The most critical being the 4 way digital flight control computers and the fuel control unit. Think of a surge protector for your computer. The static dischargers meter off a constant stream of electrons to reduce corona noise and streaming; in an effort to prevent one large discharge. Corona noise results from ionization around the wingtips, vertical fin, and horizontal tail surfaces. Streaming is a type of noise that accumulates around non-conductive areas like radomes and carbon fiber. Cant really speak to the other aircraft though. I do know one F-16 pilot who got struck by lightning (Syracuse ANG F-16A) and it shut the engine down. He’s also the only guy I know who lost the engine and did a successful air start in the Viper. Fun fact: Usually when it quits- it’s hard broke. P
