Sir Gregory

Sir Gregory

My real name is Greg Hill. However I've adopted the pseudonym of Sir Gregory, because that's often what I get called in the Philippines, and it amuses me. The photo I use is of the real Sir Gregory Page-Turner (1748-1805). Check out his portrait on Wikipedia and you'll see behind him a table littered with books. How appropriate for his surname?

I'm well-and-truly retired from the work-force, and have always lived in Sydney, Australia. I'm just an amateur vlogger, so don't be too harsh with your comments.

My videos fall mostly into these categories:
1. Videos of our family and pets
2. Travel around Sydney, and some of its hidden treasures
3. Travels overseas, mostly the Philippines where we have family and friends

    Пилот видел эту птицу над полосой во время взлета и был готов что она влетит в двигатель но до последнего надеялся что она пролетит мимо двигателя! Но не фартануло! Еслиб он начал тормозить заранее еще до того как птица попала в двигатель то авиакомпания избежала бы дорогостоящего ремонта двигателя!

    I grew up there between 1988 and 1996 and it was a different place back then. It used to have a fish and chip shop, general store/bottlo. Now it seems trendy and catered to a different type of crowd. Sad to see it go that way to be honest.

    my conclusion:- as the bird strikes, the engine, the engine starts to spool down fast, indicating that something failed. guessing by the reaction time, the pilot monitoring would have seen a possible loss of thrust on engine 2, or there could be alarms blaring for the exact same reason the take off was cancelled as how most cancelled takeoff goes, and engine was severely damaged for it to be deemed unsafe and the flight was cancelled

  • @SirGregory
    @SirGregory4 ай бұрын

    Sounds like you mean the oil channel mentioned in step 11 of the instructions on page 21 of the manual. It's mentioned again in steps 25 and 26. Oil and fat flows to the front of the plates. There is a long thin aluminium oil channel to be installed under the front of the plates that catches the oil and fat. It then drains to the left-hand end of that oil channel, exits through the LH end of the BBQ body and is caught in a container. Hope this helps.

    This aborted takeoff is standard operating procedure if an engine fails at or before a speed called V1. After V1, the takeoff continues on the remaining engine(s). All multi-engine commercial jets are designed to take off safely on one engine after V1. If you'd like more information, search for: V1 aircraft engine failure for more info.

    The braking was so strong that the cellphone flew out of the woman's hand hahaha I've been in a takeoff that was aborted on the Congonhas runway and we all flew forward. I remember seeing an old lady's dentures flying in the seat in front of me. I was terrified but laughed so much. I will never forget that aborted takeoff on that rainy day in Congonhas on board a 737.

    As you know, an aborted takeoff is certainly scary, but pilots have standard operating procedures for this emergency. Our PH flight crew followed them perfectly. Firetrucks raced out to meet us as we came to a stop but were'nt needed. Thanks for commenting and relating your "flying teeth" story.

  • @SirGregory
    @SirGregory5 ай бұрын

    Many viewers have asked this question. The answer is simple when you think about it. All jet engine manufacturers have studied this problem for perhaps 50 years or more. They would have used a mesh screen if it was a viable solution. But it isn’t, so they don’t. Jet engines consume huge quantities of air to operate. That’s why there’s such a large opening at the front. Anything that would keep birds out would also cause turbulence and reduce the volume of air entering the engine, making them less efficient. Aircraft would fly slower and consume more fuel. Ticket prices would go up and then people would ask, “Why do aircraft engines have mesh over the air intake?”

    @@SirGregory yes, but the problem is they would have to fly and try to land back safely, which is a lot more dangerous. At least before v1, they got to escape that danger by aborting the liftoff and then exiting the runway. Flying with just one engine is a lot harder as you would need to use a lot of rudder to keep the aircraft straight.
