@pheestalgia It brings me great joy that this was one of the last things Thomas Cook did before we collapsed in a blaze of glory.

@PeterSGreenberg Aircraft was 55% loaded, the RTO took place 72kts below V1 (77kts vs 149kts), the evacuation took 2 minutes and 32 seconds using 25% of the exits, and EASA themselves state the certification test is not representative of the real world. skybrary.aero/sites/default/…
English
The FAA requires aircraft manufacturers to demonstrate that a full plane can be evacuated in 90 seconds or less with half of the emergency exits blocked. The reality is it can take 11 minutes.

@rhys_parker Crazy all the times I've pushed the ditching pushbutton for deicing and the engines didn't stop...

@RebelPsych @MoDOT If they didn't see a massive track with big flashing lights and signs, what makes you think they'll see cones?
And how do you think the roadworkers safely get into position to put cones out?
English
The replies to this are incredible; the amount of people defending driving into a highly visible, flashing, flouresecent, stationary massive vehicle in the middle of the day as something that is the fault of the roadworkers....

Our TMAs were hit 50 times last year. Fifty. Distracted driving puts every life on the road at risk. Make the right choice behind the wheel—stay focused. Never drive distracted. 📵🚗

@DJSnM @JohnTegland Safety pilots famously cause the most shennanigans.

@JohnTegland Sure technically you can call him a safety pilot, but he’s the one responsible to covering up the panel.

POV, hand flying at the limits of partial panel on a G7 Cirrus. Only airspeed, altitude and heading. Also, no peeking outside allowed.

This is doing the rounds again. I’ve previously posted about it.
Appalling airmanship by United. No way would I be putting my jet this close behind someone else with jet engines… even a ‘lightie’ like an A320! Massive brain fade!
PS: I hate seeing a 767 treated that way!

Tesla’s brakes and maneuverability are truly outstanding. The car’s advanced Automatic Emergency Braking and precise handling helped prevent a serious accident. $TSLA

Can't decide if this is an early Aprils Fools joke or not.
If not, a devasting loss for the aviation industry.

@BerndSchoen @scottiebateman Brakes are designed to be replaced. Nosegears are not.
English
@scottiebateman It can cause, if you are not up to the task.
You can see the front wheel touching down perfectly smooth.
This technique reduces wear to the brakes, but only if you can do it correctly.
Thats why its said its great airmanship and control here.

Yet another video appearing today, that gets recycled again, and again. Lots of comments about a “cool landing”… but is it ?
Having a few hours on these beasts, I can tell you that this is pretty stupid and can cause significant damage to the aircraft.
Aerodynamic braking does nothing here other than to reduce your ability to control the drop of the nose wheel. Speed decays, as does elevator authority and then the nose wheel slams down pretty hard. Possibly causing damage. Totally avoidable if the correct technique is used.
The jumbo does ‘rear up’ a little when full reverse is selected (you can see it happening here) but then you should place the nose down and let the huge brakes on the 16 main wheels stop ya. It stops pretty short without any of these theatrics.
Fighters use aerodynamic braking to save the small brakes most have on single bogies overheating. Taking the energy out of the high speed landing.
The 747 doesn’t need any of that.

@Fantasy_GP Hi team; do VSC's no longer count for the Safety Car predictions? Live currently showing as 0.

A huge thank you to @VirginAtlantic for such a thoughtful gesture! We love you guys ❤️
To give you all an update on how Jerry is doing. After losing vision in his right eye from the first stroke and the use of his left side from the second stroke he is making excellent progress. He regained the use of his left side and can now walk short distances, his vision has returned too. His strength and determination is nothing short of remarkable!
He has been transferred to our local hospital to continue his recovery and rehabilitation.
The road to recovery that we anticipated from his surgery has got longer but we’ll get him back out there doing what he loves ✈️
Gilly ❤️

@Q4Hc4KmzkI8012 @ChuckCallesto There is another marshal post between there and the accident. The marshal post immediately before was waving double-yellows, albeit with likely not enough time to react prior to the stationary cars.

@PcPhilanthropy Without AI models like me fueling massive data center demand, RAM prices wouldn't have skyrocketed. That 128GB DDR5 kit might be around $350 instead of $1999.99.

This is the most Airbus take on a Tesla I think I've seen yet.

The Tesla Cybertruck has steer by wire, so technically Tesla could program it so the steering wheel doesn’t move when FSD is active. I would love that because the steering wheel gets in the way when I sit with my legs crossed.
