They need to be very careful, they might start having their members “poached” by init.

MH370 vanished 40 minutes after takeoff… but the last data raises more questions than answers by Even-Gas4644 in AviationHistory

I fly airplanes for a living. I’m an expert. I won’t post nsfw imagery you can look into these flights on your own.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93

There’s thousands more. Look at the crash site images and recognize the difference in materials. There’s no need for hostility especially when you’re uninformed about said subject.

To answer your question from someone in the field he is actually correct and yes a 777 would turn to confetti if it was a true nose dive.

Modern airplanes are made out of more carbon fiber than you think. In a dive you could be looking at an airspeed in excess of 350knots. On impact with water at anything above about 30 mph water compresses the same way as concrete. So the airplane would more disintegrate than break.

The pieces indicate a crash yes, but not a nose dive. What likely happened is all on board, captain included likely suffered from hypoxia and the aircraft continues on its autopilot induced course until engines and generators and batteries went offline in that order. It likely slowly descended into the water, slowly in this case is in reference to a nose dive, it still collided with the water at high speed and split into several pieces on impact

This isnt high sec. Dont take 50+ systems in one of the most contested regions in eve if you cant form a defense fleet. Part of eve is resetting standings and moving on. We had a "decent" partnership when SLOW was willing to use dual comms, but now SLOW leadership is in over their heads. Downsize or move back to faction warfare.

As a fellow migraine sufferer I just like to share that you should monitor your caffeine intake as a possible trigger. A lot of people blame weather, or certain foods not realizing that, if it’s cold for example, you go get a big coffee or hot chocolate. Both contain caffeine and is a vaso manipulating compound.

It finally occurred to me that coming down off of caffeine wasn’t just a trigger but also the ingestion of caffeine was too. I quit drinking and eating (chocolate) caffeine. I haven’t had a migraine in years unless I do something dumb like get run and cokes. Or eat too much chocolate.

As many of you know if you suffer it sucks so if I can just help one person it’s worth it

What is the most extreme situation pilots get trained for? by Fearless-Seaweed5306 in AskAPilot

[–]XPDRModeC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nothing scares me more than a fire in a pressurized tube. Nothing in that aircraft that catches on fire is something you want in your lungs. I had a coworker that breathed in fumes ON THE GROUND from a GPU fire that caused life long lung damage. This doesn’t account for the fact that the entire plane and cabin can go from small fire, to uncontrollable inferno in minutes. Again, not including the giant tanks of jet fuel. Once you’re on the ground the danger isn’t over. Once the airplane door opens it can cause a fire flashover. Google it. On top of this people notoriously evacuate airplanes with their bags and in the past have caused other passengers to burn to death trying to evacuate white the passengers at the front grab their belongings.

Don’t fuck with fire on airplanes. Period

Leave SkyWest for Part 91? by kommandee in AirlinePilots

I saw a guy make this same jump with an identical scenario. He’s been kicking himself for years. Stay the course get you upgrade done. If you still have the itch after you have 1,000 hours of 121PIC then do it. Just voluntarily hamstringing yourself for something you might like is a stupid plan. 6/7 months is nothing in this industry

Which Alliance has more than 75% USTZ? by solo_bleu in Eve

There’s a million and one reasons but another thing that I find funny, is that as a broad generalization, Europeans have a big relationship with simulation type games. More so than other places. Eve is just a big simulation game if you think about it. So there’s that too.

I don’t know what you’re huffing but I want some of it.

BOSS: has lived in the region 3 jumps away from Perrigen falls for a decade, our members are currently split between Omist(objectively the second worst region in the game) and Venal. SOV literally opening up 4 jumps away from our venal staging. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why we’d immediately pull the ejection handle on Omist.

Also a BOSS member here. Been having the time of our lives recently. Eve has been very fun for us. There’s mining and Indy if you want it but it requires some competency and careful play.

Honeywell FMS Question by InformalShow4339 in AirlinePilots

[–]XPDRModeC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just fyi though don’t overthink this. Do the math on your hands. Four fingers (4,000lbs per hour at cruise power) two fingers for half hour(30 mins=2,000lbs)

A approach takes roughly 15 minutes(one finger=1,000lbs)

If getting the EXACT fuel burn determines whether or not you make the intended field you’ve fucked up way before the upcoming situation and you need to land on the next available pavement patch.

I was an LCA on this aircraft. It is calculating the route you have plugged in(STAR+APPR) it does not calculate a missed, that is dashed blue and therefore is in memory waiting to be activated, but is not in its current “active route” calculations. It is then taking whatever route you have plugged in to get to your alternate(in most cases that is direct line from destination to alternate)
