I’m beyond fortunate to have a role that allows me to play an intimate role in legislative efforts, workforce development event planning, student engagement and industry advocacy while serving thousands of member businesses in 7 states.

Unless you're prepared to hand the flight school owner $900, stop demanding updated IFR GPS databases for VFR checkrides. That plus it shows you're ignorant enough of regulations to not be ready for a checkride.

@AskFrontier Saying you advise me on “pages 3 and 4 of your statement” is all I need to know about you “striving to inform.” Your reply, not my original concern, is what will drive me to shop around for a new provider.

Air Safety #OTD by Francisco Cunha
Air Safety #OTD by Francisco Cunha@OnDisasters·
Remarkably, there´s footage of the crash, that many will know because of...a meme. More details at the OTD Entry in the comments August 1999: China Airlines Flight 642, a MD-11, crashes on landing at Hong Kong. 3 of 315 aboard died. Attempting to land during Typhoon “Sam”, landing gear collapsed, airplane rolled and caught fire. Crew´s actions and weather conditions were some of the factors in the crash.
José Correia Guedes@cpt340

22 de Agosto de 1999. Douglas MD11 da China Airlines proveniente de Bangkok faz aproximação à pista 25 L do novo aeroporto de Hong Kong, Check Lap Kok. A bordo vem um grupo de portugueses que anda de visita à Ásia. Joana Santos acompanha os pais e mais alguns familiares. Chove com intensidade e há vento lateral forte. O comandante reduz os motores demasiado cedo e em consequêcia o MD11 faz uma aterragem muito dura sobre o trem de aterragem direito. O avião inclina-se, o motor do lado direito bate no solo e logo depois a asa do mesmo lado separa-se. Com apenas uma asa a gerar sustentação o aparelho roda sobre si prório, arrasta-se pelo solo e imobiliza-se "de pernas para o ar". Joana Santos parece adivinhar o que aí vem e desaperta o cinto de segurança vindo a cair sobre o teto. Há um silêncio estranho. É noite e não há qualquer luz a bordo exceto o fogo que entretanto começou a lavrar na cauda do avião. O pessoal de cabina desapareceu e não ordena qualquer evacuação. Joana repara que há uma fenda na cabina de passageiros ali perto, ajuda os pais a libertarem-se dos cintos de segurança e corre com eles para o exterior. Há passageiros queimados em busca de ajuda. Os bombeiros aparecem rapidamente e extinguem o fogo com a ajuda da chuva que continua a cair. Há 3 mortos e dezenas de feridos entre os 315 passageiros. Passaram 27 anos, Joana tornou-se dentista e trabalha como tal mas ainda hoje tem ataques de pânico e crises de ansiedade.

@PhilDernerJr @united Typically on other routes of the same length they’ll run long-haul first class with sleeper pods and better food and drink service, but on these 73s it’s still the old cardboard-cushioned domestic seats and a pretty thin meal service for such a long flight.

I love @united but they need to realize that a 737 isn't an acceptable aircraft for a 5.5 hour flight from SFO to OGG. You guys used to serve that route with widebodies for chrissake 😭

Recent calls for passengers to dress better on airplanes often lean on a mythical era of glamorous air travel, but you’ve been lied to. My latest article... open.substack.com/pub/philderner…

@Fahadnaimb Incredibly misleading. A software issue that is quickly repaired with a quick upload. You’re talking about a small speed bump in a newly paved road while Russian aircraft are flying on the equivalent of cobblestone. Russia has the worst safety record in developed countries.

Fahad Naim@Fahadnaimb·
Let me get this straight. The West spent years trying to ground the Russian aviation sector with sanctions. Then the Sun does its thing… and suddenly the only A320 fleets completely unaffected are the Russian ones?? The exact software standard now forcing global groundings & urgent reverts on A320s was introduced after February 2022. Russian airlines have received zero Airbus software loads since sanctions began. Russian A320s? Still running 2021 code. So the sanction architects achieved the exact opposite of what they wanted: Russian airlines now have higher dispatch reliability during solar storms than Delta or British Airways. This is peak "rules for thee but not for me" energy, except the rules backfired spectacularly. Anyone still pretending sanctions are working?

Cargo pilots fly through the same skies, and face the same risks, but when one crashes, not every tragedy trends. This article revisits 3 UPS crashes that changed lives and quietly influenced safety for everyone who flies today. Read or listen here: open.substack.com/pub/philderner…

@SouthernGemGal Every aircraft with a long career has a history of crashes. That doesn’t mean the aircraft is too blame. It’s very case by case.

Read the history of the aircraft. They were retired as passenger planes over a decade. UPS and FedEx use them for cargo. Boeing forfeited quality engineering when they merged over a decade ago. This isn't condemnation or blind assumption. I've posted about it years ago. #MD11
Phil Derner@PhilDernerJr

@SouthernGemGal @FedExPolicy @FedEx @UPS With no cause for the crash known yet (investigations often take over a year) why are you blaming the aircraft?

Good morning, Please explain why y'all are still flying these dangerous planes for cargo, @FedExPolicy, @FedEx, @UPS. Condolences to those who lost their lives and their loved ones. You should consider more than them being cost-effective. 🙏🏾🤎🕊 #MD11 #UPS

The most uninformed and the least well-intended will be the first to politicize tragedy. Keep that in mind over the coming hours and days. RIP #UPS2976
