September 10, 201213 yr You're getting free recurrent training. You're not going to start complaining, aren't you ? :smile: Kind regards (and thanks) Bruno Free recurrent training, just how I love to spend my days off... :biggrin: Rónán O Cadhain.
September 10, 201213 yr That's not true regarding the 320 & 321 Bruno, same goes for roll control in config 3. The aircraft is still in normal law till 50ft so handles the same no matter what config it's in. Thanks Rob. I probably misunderstood that part of the thread (about roll control in config 3). Or maybe the poster was guessing but wasn't sure. Bruno Free recurrent training, just how I love to spend my days off... :biggrin: Hmmmm, maybe we should charge you something, after all. :smile: Bruno
September 10, 201213 yr Hmmmm, maybe we should charge you something, after all. :smile: Perhaps it should be I who charges, after all, yee're the ones getting all this lovely information about your hobby ... :Thinking: ^_^ Rónán O Cadhain.
September 10, 201213 yr Perhaps it should be I who charges, after all, yee're the ones getting all this lovely information about your hobby ... All right, if you come to Paris, the first beer is on me - and if you fly me back to Ireland in the cockpit, you might even get another one (lucky you). :lol: Bruno
September 10, 201213 yr From the report............. "It is also possible that some less experienced pilots may follow the ILS glideslope too closely below 100 feet thereby diverting their attention from the visual landing phase leading to a late recognition of a low pitch attitude and high rate of descent" This is interesting. I would have thought that better feedback would come from looking out the window at this late stage. Just a curious question, I'm in no position to question a pilots actions. Perhaps it should be I who charges, after all, yee're the ones getting all this lovely information about your hobby ... .....and we're very grateful for it. This is why I enjoy hanging out here.

Indeed you are right, however the FO was just finished his TR, and as such would have been both trying to fly the bird accurately down the GS, and also not fully used to the flow in the final stages of landing and wouldn't have had it timing for transition from instrument to visual perfected... I think they say it takes 10,000 hours practise to become an expert at anything, so at 82 hours, you can imagine he wasn't quite there yet... Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.
September 10, 201213 yr and also not fully used to the flow in the final stages of landing As a flight simmer and aviation fan I often think of the guy/girl in control up front at this stage of the flight. Those final few hundred feet when you can "feel" the pilot is working the plane onto the ground. I often wonder if (after all these hours) the old BP still rises a bit every time, especially in rough weather. Anthony O'Brien

It certainly does, the day I no longer get a thrill out of flying a plane is the day I hand in my notice to retire... Rónán O Cadhain.

Actually, reading that report makes me wonder how you guys can possibly manage to baby those huge constructions out of the sky safely at all. Respect! :p0504:
