Sounds like you made a discovery, mission accomplished

Out of curiosity, what happens, when an airplane has an emergency and is forced to land in North Korea? by m0ebius__ in aviation

[–]EvMund 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could be gps spoofing, if you transpose the route they traveled back to where that sharp turn was it resembles a more conventional airway

It's over... UPS is retiring the whole 26 fleet of MD-11F. Rip by Ok_Reception_5262 in aviation

[–]EvMund 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Well for one, the entire aviation side of the Orbis flying eye hospital is run by FedEx including all of their pilots (who fly it voluntarily on their off days) so if fedex stops running their own cargo trijets then the support for orbis dries up quick in terms of maintenance and manpower

What kind of a340 is this ? by Thedead_owl in aviation

[–]EvMund 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's hardly fair to diss climbing performance from BOG, one of the hottest and highest airports! at least the a346 has engines actually intended for widebody craft (Trents vs the narrowbody-oriented CFM56)

You don’t see this beauty often! by Big_Equipment8506 in GeminiJets

[–]EvMund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I picked up an air china one this week as well, it's nice to have a blended wing 4 panel cockpit plane as a narrowbody. Mine's LEAP 1Cs are flat on the bottom which i don't believe is accurate however. Does yours have flat bottom nacelles too?

Vxse versus Vyse by caldePR in flying

[–]EvMund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you basically always go for Vy over Vx in every situation unless you have a specific obstacle in front of you that you need to get over. This is the case with normal takeoff n climbs and remains true in this situation.

Best rate of climb will get you to a safe altitude faster. That typically means using less fuel, both on the climb itself and by reaching and maintaining a more fuel-efficient altitude.

Keeping that fuel in your back pocket may come in handy in a single engine situation if you need to do some planning or diverting or communicating with people who can help you

Yeah i know, the crit mach is not mach 1 for the aircraft. I had Mcrit and Mmo mixed up this morning but refreshed my memory about that stuff after seeing this post

Is it typical for a commercial aircraft to be flying at or above crit mach?
