CNN article on problems in Air Travel, as seen by FAA
Marty Shapiro writes:
You don't have to constantly keep your hands on the controls of an aircraft even a light aircraft without an autopilot. There is a reason aircraft control surfaces have trim capability, you moron. There's a reason autopilots were developed, namely, that it's very tiring to hold the controls for hours and hours. It's true that you need not grip them continously, but neither can you ignore them for very long if you have no autopilot. |

One of the first things my instructor did during training was to have me fly a short cross country with my arms folded across my chest maintaining course with rudder after trimming out the airplane. Unless in turbulance, I typically have two fingers on the yoke most of the time. And I have an autopilot which is seldom turned on. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

In r.a.p, he's not worth the cost of the electrons to reply to. But in rec.travel.air, he has an audience which has a large percentage of non- pilots and his outright falsehoods need to be corrected. I missed the cross to r.a.p or would have deleted that in my reply. Perhaps, but if they choose to listen to has babble over those of experience pilots, there isn't anything one could do anyway. A reasonable number of responses makes sense, but, at some point, where he just keeps babbling nonsense it becomes a waste of time. The truth will have already been put out and he will still be babbling. |

"TMOliver" wrote in message ... Back in the 1930s, the British built a system of concrete "mirrors" designed to receive and potentially triangulate the engine noises from approaching enemy bombers approaching the Scuttled H'aisles. The idea didn't work, so the boffins chose Radio Detection and Ranging, better known as RADAR, for their next attempt at success, having preliminarily abandoned the active bouncing of sound through the air as requiring really loud "Bongs" instead of the modest whale-disenheartening "Pings" of ASDIC/SONAR. Not quite. The audio ranging things were built AFTER Chain Home was started. I used to play on one at Skipsey when I was a kid, a very odd experience if you stood in the wrong place on the acoustic lense. No evidence that anything electrical was ever connected to them either. No wires, no conduits, no connections back into the bunkers behind them, nothing... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. Meanwhile both the British and the dastardly Tschermans kept "stereoscopic" audio detectors in production and service through the early war years, busily listening for the drone of approaching bummers. You too may build your own RDF Loop (and those little US UHF TV antennae work fine) and buy a receiver to listen to local airport frequencies and plot "LOP"s for aircraft as they come and go. That's cheaper than attempting to locate and restore a surplus Gestapo signal detection/location truck (or one of the UK Post Office signals vans that could pinpoint your home television set, checking the big ledger book to see if your license had been paid - must have been very sensitive receivers). Every kitchen should have its own SLQ-32..... TMO |
