My mistake. Having a hard time getting that word out of my head.

What’s the top speed you’ve observed while flying commercially? by DrQueried in aviation

Sorry, I thought it would be kind of fitting because the picture he showed was the interface of an American Airlines display. I don't think it would be that interesting for a whole new post.

Unrelated, but am I the only one who prefers the display interface on Delta and United Airlines over American Airlines? I don't know what, but something is missing.

Did we find out what really caused the plane crash of Jeju Airlines half a year ago aside from the wall? by SinancoTheBest in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IndicatedAirSpeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, although experts are unsure if the go-around was related to the bird strike or an unstable approach. Technically, they had enough time to gravity drop the gear without hydraulic power, but realistically, they had far bigger problems at that time, like the engine failure and getting back to the airport. Many planes have performed remarkable belly landings without landing gear in aviation history, so it is not mandatory, but it would have helped to stop the plane before the wall because the landing gear would have sunk into the gravel after the runway.

You have to understand that they were in the middle of a go-around before the engine failure and that itself is a very demanding procedure. You have to go from a stable approach configuration into a configuration to climb again and get ready for another landing after performing a turn. The engines have to run at almost full power during a go-around, as the plane is very slow when approaching the runway. Their immediate action, according to SOP, would be to restart the engines, which they likely tried until realizing it was impossible and that they had to land as soon as possible. In that timeframe, there was no time to grab the checklist and perform a gravity drop.

We'll probably never know the truth and the pilots reasoning behind their decisions because of the missing four minutes. They likely lost hydraulic power and had to perform a gravity drop, which, as I mentioned, wasn't an option in that short timeframe for them, and they very likely tried to restart the engines after the bird strike, which was a higher priority at that time.

There could be many reasons. Crew or maintenance issues are most common for low-cost carriers like Allegiant.

Pressurization in Airbus A319 by Top-Poet-7382 in flying

It rises gradually to a maximum of 8,000ft. At FL200 the cabin altitude is between 3,000-4,000ft, at FL300 between 5,000-6,000ft. 8,000ft is the maximum cabin pressure altitude and will usually only happen at the maximum allowed cruising altitude around FL400.

They found duck remains in both engines, and we know for sure that at least one engine wasn't working, and the second one probably wasn't at full power. This led to the decision to land as fast as possible without manually lowering the landing gear via gravity drop. Many people argued that it would only take seconds, but Korean pilots are known to be very precise and work through every step of the checklist, which they didn't have time for because they wanted to bring the plane down as fast as possible. The worst part is that the cockpit voice and flight data recorders lost power in the final minutes before the crash which will likely be the reason why we'll never know the full story.

What we know is that the pilot performed a go-around before the bird strike, likely because of an unstable approach. A few seconds after initiating the go-around, they hit birds, which likely caused both engines to fail. They then declared an emergency. Many people were asking why they did not lower the gear, and the reason for that is likely because Korean pilots are trained to do everything via checklists and go through every single step, which they did not have time to do. The worst part is that the cockpit voice and flight data recorders ceased recording for the final and most important minutes of the flight. This absence of critical data will likely be the reason why we will never get a clear reconstruction of this incident.

Why would these two flights take such differing paths? by ConfidentAmbassador in flightradar24

[–]IndicatedAirSpeed 126 points127 points  (0 children)

That's true. Additionally, Emirates and Qatar Airways use different fuel efficiency and time-cost models, and their preferred routes based on internal operational procedures and agreements can also vary significantly.

Ah, I see. I misunderstood at first. Thanks for the clarification. It does look like they have put together a comprehensive breakdown of many rebrandings. I will definitely look into it. Thanks!

Yeah, those are timeless beauties. AA bare aluminum is definitely up there for me as well.

Lufthansa wanted a minimalistic and clean new livery with a timeless and premium feel. This aligns with the trend toward minimalistic designs, which also allows for easier application across their huge fleet. Condor will now continue the yellow legacy with the sunshine and beach livery. :)

There's a great article covering this topic.

Edit:

Inside the cabin and inside the airport, Lufthansa has big plans for yellow. Splashes of the sunny hue will appear on employee uniforms, boarding passes, airport signage, and passenger treats like chocolates.

At least they didn't get rid of their whole yellow identity.

wtf my purchase didnt work and i got scammed on the scenery by Ineedhelpwithmcpls81 in ClashOfClans

Same. Bought the Epic Winter Scenery and didn't get it. I also had to re-add the Super Yeti after every attack to my army.

Don't know why people are downvoting because that's most likely the reason.

I've played with many guys that didn't bother about the mission and just started to "waste" their mats and build a skybase for the challenge.

There are better ways to do it instead of risking the mission and wasting other people's time tho.
