Airbrakes

I agree that they weren't able to perform a stall recovery, however I do not think requiring more TT is the solution to the problem.

Since we are hypothetically speaking, why not throw in truck sim also? Believe it or not, truck sims have a huge following.

You can either increase or delete the paging file or close down backround programs you don't need running with flight sim. If you're using a 32bit OS, you're limited to a paging file of 2 gigs. It doesn't matter how much RAM you actually have.

I still watch videos. The ones I watch on the computer aren't in DVD format though. Netflix FTW! And Windows 98 was the 2nd best OS MS made. The best was 95.

Thank you for saying this. :Peace:

The points made about both accidents were points AFTER the stall. My points are BEFORE the stall. For the umpti-billionth time, I don't care what counter measures the crew used. I'm more interested in what caused the stall. I am not a pilot or a expert, nor am I portraying to be one. Do yourself a favor and re-read my statements. If I'm wrong then simply sorrect me and move on. There is no need to throw ratings into the mix. That makes me think less of you.

Are you aware you're preaching to the choir?

Stick pusher activates when the AoA is increased over the AoA that caused the stall alarm to activate. It does not know the difference between a tail and airfoil stall. The Dash-8 is not FBW. It is a conventional setup of pulleys and cables. And just a FYI, a stall (especially a tail stall) can happen at any speed.

I guess the constitution doesn't mean anything to anyone anymore. Might as well 'file' it as it's worthless.

Email sent.

Again, I'm not interested in the recovery method. I'm interested in what led to the stall in the first place. A tail stall and air foil stall are different stalls that require different action. Stick pusher doesn't know the difference. Fatigue and inadequate training was not the cause of the crash. They were a culprit.

Also, in terms of the Colgan crash, I'm more interested in what led to the stall instead of the recovery method. The PIC reconized the tail stall and fought the stick shaker. His action was correct, but it was too little too late.

Thanks, I'm at work now so I'll send the email when I get home.

That was in reference to the Colgan crash, and not AT447. 2 discussions at once does get confusing.

I see the sarcasm went right on by you.
