August 29, 201213 yr Not the best decision that was made this day. No it wasn't... I'd say irresponsible and stupid. Apparently the word "microburst" is not in their language... nor what they are capable of e.g. DAL Flight 191
August 29, 201213 yr Apparently the word "microburst" is not in their language Been in one in a little Grumman Tiger once... Just ONCE!! Bro was PIC and was doing wicked pulls to gain ALT. Scared the Sh*t outa me. I forget what bush pilot said it, but it's true: Only three things kill a pilot. 1.) Weather. 2.) Weather, and 3.) Weather.
August 29, 201213 yr I remember the inquiry into AA FL1420 exposed a lot of this "risky behaviour". So it still happens 13 years later!!!!! Anthony O'Brien
August 30, 201213 yr That and USAirways flight 1016. Text book reduced performance due to a microburst. Lead to the microburst training we know today. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
