They would take off from Tinker AFB (TACCOM) and buzz The Uni. of Oklahoma 8 miles south with full burn. We were 20 feet underground in a bombshelter of a laboratory, doing microscopic scans of steel and you could see the vibrations from them when they showed off.

A colleague of mine had the air ambulance out twice on a spinal board... so don't get on a horse with him.

When I was in the Air Force I got to watch a B-1 takeoff full burner. Probably the loudest aircraft I’ve ever seen take off.

Short and sweet.

Queenstown is in the South Island of New Zealand. That incident made headlines here, as the plane was diverted to Invercargill for an emergency landing.

The first video was very enlightening

The Virgin Australia flight had the compressor stalls of Queenstown, New Zealand not Queenstown, Australia

The B1B Lancer. Yea. That was awesome!

You can see the port wing walker in the first clip really trying to get someone's attention, but as there is no one in front of the plane, to visually relay a stop command, so the pilots were completely unaware.

what's the cause of the copressor stalls, and how has a pilot to react to it?

@EdOeuna

Күн бұрын

Apparently it was caused by the ingestion of birds which damaged the compressor blades or engine internals. This then means poor airflow through the engine which means incomplete combustion of the fuel, hence the flames. The pilots first response is to just fly the plane. Above about 400ft they can then identify the failure, which would show as fluctuating EGT and N1. They would then reduce thrust until the surging has stopped, or the thrust lever is at idle. After that it’s make a plan to return to land considering performance, e.g weight, available runways, etc.

""Aerodynamic Braking" actually just style points. Not helping braking in any real amount.

Maybe "compresser stalls" are bird strikes/ ingestions???

Is this a reupload?

Will the A330 pilot b fired for light pole hit ?

2:33 - Some pilots can't resist a camera

Welcome back to your 3 minutes of pilots goofing off

That looked like a pretty heavy pole

The B-1 is the cat's meow for adrenaline junkies. If you've never been up close @ an airshow, it's staggering to look into the bomb bay (it looks like a couple of full sized Chevy trucks would easily fit). But the show stopper are those 4 massive engines. Think F-15's under each wing (same engine, B-1 gets 4, F-15 gets 2). It's intimidating as hell, the big bad Bone quietly sits in it's roped off area, hoping it will be ignored, by the audience and the enemy.

They should add bumpers to these planes, Airbus!!! I got an idea! A360 Neo/bp

With the light pole incident, I am guessing Maxwell Smart was the one in control and I can hear him saying "Missed it by thatmuch." Well, missed the clearance point, that is.

Just imagine the fuel burn on the Lancer.

Clearly the United pilot thinks he knows better than the people that make the airplane.

Damn silly place to put a pole anyway...

Seemed like a heavy pole.

Give the National pilots some slack... As former Ryanair crew they're used to driving on the left vs on the right as we do in the USA.🤣🤣✈

Boeing and Airbus FCTMs say: After main gear touchdown initiate the landing roll procedure. Fly the nose wheels smoothly onto the runway without delay. If the nose wheel is not lowered to the runway immediately, braking and control characteristics are significantly compromised and no drag advantage is gained. In many aircraft systems, the weight on the wheels is used to switch speed brakes, reverse, brakes, anti-skid, transition from flight idle to ground idle, etc. Deroatation of the nose wheel also reduces the risk of a tail strike. This is simply a bad landing technique!

National pilots always crashing into something 😅 Especially light poles !

The 757 pilot was not aero braking, he was simply trying to "land" the nose smoothly, something that any 757 pilot will tell you is not easy. Aero braking is not recommended in any airliner.
