I am Spanish and my English is good but not perfect. Any way when I find myself talking English close to people who´s English is worst than mine, I change my pronunciation to one much less accurate (almost Spanish pronunciation of English w

Are you scanning craig list manually?. If done with a crawler, how you mannage to keep your site unbanned?

Well, yes in this case , but if you have obstacles ahead maybe your best option is keeping the plane close to the stall in order to climb, so you need to fly the plane. That is the reason most of this protections must have an override. The

It´s true it is not possible to stall the plane in normal mode AND stable air conditions, in fact at high altitudes is possible to lose control of the plane even in normal mode, due to sudden changes in air density or extreme turbulence. Th

The flight mode is important but not the reason why they crashed the plane (IMHO). The reason they didn´t do anything else but pull the sidestick and apply TOGA was that they thought it was the solution to the problem. The problem to them

You are right about the 4 min, but there is no such a thing as a flight mode button. Normal, alternate and direct law change automatically depending the number of computers or inputs available. There is a big red ALTERNATE LAW at the HSI, a

Well not at 400' and 130knots... That is way they were performing a windshear maneuver ( incorrectly) at FL 340.

Pitot tubes are always under strong heating during flight( so strong that the steel may blue). The problem with the 330 pitots brand in particular( there are several ) is that they cant evacuate water fast enought and sometimes they could b

Well ask your dad about landing in short runways during a thunderstorm with strong gusting cross winds + contaminated runway. If he didn't have a rush with that...

There is a loud "dual input" voice + a red light just infront of you. Also if you push the red button on the sidestick and keep it pressed you override all te commands of the other one. This has several reasons, taking away the control from

You simply don't fly through a thunderstorm, as you simply don't drive through A concrete wall at 100mph. No matter how short you are on fuel.

I hope to give some light from the point of view of an airbus pilot( a320) also with B737 and MD80 experience. First of all I must say that is very difficult to judge what happened from outside, there is a rush of adrenalin if some importan

This kind of problems are quite common with new aircraft models. The most dangerous are those which are not as obvious as the landing gear( flight modes bugs and unexpected behaviours)

Hehe believe me computers fail and is not 1 in a million failure more one in a 50 flights or so, you reset them and nothing fatal happens, but they fail! Fly by wire only saves weight removing or reducing cables and hydraulic systems. In f

Really hard indeed!. Mind blowing. At first I thought C but then I cheated ( it is hard even cheating...) and drawing the diferent posibilities I only see A=D and B=C. I dOn't know what I am missing.

Software in airplanes is a huge help! Also if is not properly thought or has bugs it can kill you too. One of the problems right now is over reliance in the capacity of the plane to detect and combat properly ANY failure or emergency.

And still with AI systems taking care of the plane security there would be failures that will knock downd computers , lightning strikes, generator spikes, some kind of fisical damage to the plane, fire at the computer rack. All this is usua

The airfrance crash INMHO was a lack of training( or missunderstanding of it) because the pilot flying on the captain seat ( actually a copilot, the captain was resting) was performing the maneuver for fighting windshear( you won't find thi

Usually what will happen is that you'll think you are still flying straight but a small roll and dive will be happening, when you come out of the clouds you'll be in a very deep dive and/or almost inverted. If you don't have enough altitude
