Boeing, another too big to fail fag company.

That's pretty much all aerospace companies now.

Anyone else buying up Boeing stock right now?

how does this happen so frequently? its one of the first rules in aviation: put the nose down to get out of a stall. and yet so many pilots fuck up such a simple step

What's the purpose of this thing and why doesn't it have a lid of sorts

This is the first genuinely funny thing I've seen on Yea Forums in like 10 days

>cabin loses pressure

Pitot tubes are used to get realtime airspeed by using wind pressure to relay the information to the cockpit. When they are jammed, the pilots are unable to know exactly how fast they are going which leads to stalling and crashing.

IMO the KC-46 is a bigger fuckup than 737 MAX. The thing with the MAX is that it's mostly a bunch of FUD pushed out by people that have a very poor grasp on how flight controls work. I personally wouldn't give an AOA sensor that much control authority, especially in simplex, but if you look at the flight hours it is a very safe plane. The double edge sword of the MAX is that it is designed to fly very similarly to an old 737 which means that airlines can transition pilots with a reduced training budget. That's great for sales, but, lo and behold 3rd world airlines start turning 737's into smoking holes in the ground.
The KC was just a straight up fuckup that was entirely Boeing's fault cut and dry. Both of them feel like nothingburgers for me though.

Don't forget SLS being delayed again and NASA all but cancelling it.

There are pilot who can't figure out how to correct a stall and these guys flew a 747 with no vertical stabilizer for 30 minutes.

was that the ups one? where a bunch of cell phone batteries they were shipping blew up and caught on fire and there was so much smoke in the cabin that the pilots literally couldn't see their instruments. and then the captain's air ran out so he had to get up and go look for the spare air canister at the back of the cockpit. so he gets up and disappears in the smoke and never comes back. and the f/o has to try to figure out how to land the plane by himself when he cant even see the controls? yeah that was sad and terrifying. i swear its almost lovecraftian some of the horrors pilots have to face

Yeah, that one. If the plane had captured the glideslope correctly the plane could've autolanded.
Instead, the plane just made a pass above the airstrip and continued flying.

I think that wing engine design is actually effeminate and ugly.

Modern engine designs and display are intended to impress with size. Size = power. A plane body with seemingly outsized engines is understood as a high performance plane.

The 777 has two ENORMOUS engines hanging off its wings.

The 757 also has two large engines compared to its body size, which is why 757 pilots praise the models power-for-days and also probably why Trump fell in love with it.

Wrongu. Aesthetics are very important in any aircraft design.

But when it comes to engines its just a fact that larger engines produce more power, and so they have to be large, and if they're going to be large you might as well leverage that and argue that large is attractive.

We had a comfy thread on /n/ where we agreed the rudder jackscrew is the airliner equivalent to a rotary wing "Jesus Nut."

why don't they put the pilot tubes in the motors?
the heat would keep them defrosted

>The aircraft went into a diving speed of Mach 0.99, and may have broken the sound barrier. The aircraft broke up in mid-air at 4,000 feet

Fuuuuuuuuuu

*MRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!*

Why not put mesh over the pilot tube

Ask a flight attendant to sit in my seat for a bit, as per FAA regulations.

parachute systems for planes are already a thing and they save lives 100% of the time when they are used properly. Every time they've failed is because pilots forget they have the option till it's too late. It's the same issue ejection seats had when they were first invented and pilots simply forgot or were afraid to pull the ejection. The only downside to parachute landing systems is that they completely fuck up the plane on landing so if it's something that simple and can be recovered like a stall pilots would have to think twice before deciding to abandon ship and pull the parachute system.

cool how you can see the engines dumping out the power to get back up

>airline created by Formula One star
>airplane crashes so fast it breaks the sound barrier
It's like pottery.

The pilot that landed this was a woman btw, but if you incels knew that you wouldn't be nearly as impressed.

same

This dude looks exactly like I imagine all older pilots to look like. Are the pilot-moustaches regulatory?

There's almost nothing to do in the cockpit once you're at cruise altitude. I assume they must pass the time grooming their moustaches to perfection.

mustaches are underrated and the thinking mans facial hair, so it's obvious high IQ professionals like pilots would have one

Yeah right, would feel pretty safe landing right in the Hymalayas

Boeingfags literally are retarded.

>b-but it's the pilots fault, he wasn't trained like our glorious burger pilots
That's because Boeing specifically sold the aircraft to airlines boasting commonality, so the pilots wouldn't need to be re-trained.

>b-but it's the shitty software fault, probably some pajeet
It's not a coding error, it's a control system logic fault. And you don't subcontract airworthiness logic to third world pajeets.

>b-but its the shitty chink made components
Nope, MCAS fault already confirmed for Lion Air crash, nothing to do with components

>b-but the extra AoA sensor and cockpit display is available for the aircraft
Yeah, as an OPTIONAL extra which is charged extra as well. Greed at its finest.

so you'd rather crash into a mountain and instantly die than land on it?

Since you all seem to know about planes and pilots, would it still be possible to fulfil my childhood dream of being a small-south-sea-island cargo pilot like in Tales of The Golden Monkey and Talespin? Or is that kind of adventurous trucking long dead?

Just sayin its not 100% safe

Not that user, but it's way different for smaller private aircraft like the kind he must have used for skydiving. You don't need a flight plan or anything to fly in those, and you share the same airspace as everyone else. The pilot is solely responsible for making sure everything is maintained and up to snuff. If you own a plane, you can take it up and fly it around wherever you want in uncontrolled airspace, and towered/controlled airports generally let you land and take off at will if you radio them first. There's no big scary FAA inspector walking around checking up on everybody like they do for commercial aircraft.

Do we even fly a lot of planes over the Himalayas?

survivability is the issue at hand, not general saftey. You might get fucked up in a parachute landing but you will live ass apposed to merging with terrain at 300 knots

bush piloting?

Maybe it's just my outsider perspective but isn't bush piloting more landing on lakes in Canada/Alaska? I'd want tropical climes where there's a risk of being nibbled by a shark as you swim to shore, but I'm not sure if they do it all with boats there these days.

No we do not.

>If you own a plane, you can take it up and fly it around wherever you want in uncontrolled airspace
Wait, what? You can? I thought you still had to file at least a general flight plan or something to tell everyone where you might be. This makes me want to get a pilot license/plane even more, but also makes me a bit scared.

Feeling save yet?

Title seems to be wrong, episode is about human error caused accidents.

It's surprisingly easy to get a private license and it makes no difference where/what kind of aircraft you fly, but if you wanna make a career out of it you need a commercial license which is a lot more stringent and takes a lot more hours to get your certificates for. I have the most basic private pilot certificate, which allows me to fly single-engine fixed gear aircraft up to 200 horsepower. It's not a huge deal to get endorsements for stuff like multi engine, high performance, complex (landing gear) aircraft, etc. which if you want to fly your comfy cargo craft you'd have to do. But if I were to make the jump to commercial, I'd have to get my IFR rating, log way more hours, get a new medical certificate that expires faster, and pass another super stringent FAA exam. It's a pretty big pain in the ass.

>Lauda stated, "what really annoyed me was Boeing's reaction once the cause was clear. Boeing did not want to say anything."[18] Lauda asked Boeing to fly the scenario in a simulator that used different data as compared to the one that Lauda had performed tests on at Gatwick airport.[22] Boeing initially refused, but Lauda insisted, so Boeing granted permission. Lauda attempted the flight in the simulator 15 times, and in every instance he was unable to recover. He asked Boeing to issue a statement, but the legal department said it could not be issued because it would take three months to adjust the wording. Lauda asked for a press conference the following day, and told Boeing that if it was possible to recover, he would be willing to fly on a 767 with two pilots and have the thrust reverser deploy in air. Boeing told Lauda that it was not possible, so he asked Boeing to issue a statement saying that it would not be survivable, and Boeing issued it. Lauda then added, "this was the first time in eight months that it had been made clear that the manufacturer [Boeing] was at fault and not the operator of the aeroplane [or Pratt and Whitney]."[18]
I like this Lauda guy.

OUTTA MY WAY PAN AM FUCKING SHITS

Fucking Bonin man
How did he fuck up that hard?

Oh shit, one of our planes crashed. Let's call van Zanten for our team of experts.

That shit "dramatic" background music is just obnoxious and kind of ruins everything.

howling user howling

Nope. If I'm some bush pilot who sprays pesticides for a living, I can take off from my dirt runway and fly around without even having a radio or transponder.

>Yea Forums poster with a pilot license
How have you not crashed your plane yet

If you're skydiving you can just GTFO if the plane experiences any issues.

they let you do it again and again and again, then blow up half a aircraft carrier then get shot down and captured by dirty vit cong then become senato then run for president

It is a beautiful plane though. Not Concorde tier, but it's up there.

>Do pilots unironically need a PUSH DOWN cue when stalls occur?
This was cargo that came loose, as other said. But, usually the first thing you do in a stall is apply trim to get the nose down because you lose pitch control and pushing the yoke forward won't work anymore. Depends on the airplane and how far into the stall you are.

>captain please

You'll just wind up flying a cargo plane full of rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong

Glad I'm not the only one this bothered

Beats delivering anchovy pizzas.

There's a whole lot of math work in preflight called weight and balance that you do to make sure your weight and center of gravity is within the plane's specs. If cargo comes loose and throws your W&B out of that envelope, you're basically boned.

just open the cargo doors and pull up lol

Yeah I'm a commercial pilot. I was just telling the user in a stall it's not always just hammer the nose down and you're good. Even applying power to a large under-the-wing mounted airplane can make it worse because the moment of the thrust pushes the nose up and resists recovery. I hear people all the time say "just put the nose down" but the actual procedure depends on the airplane and the situation. For what I fly you would apply nose down trim, then sllloowwllyy apply power (because I have big low mounted engines), and lower the nose if the trim hasn't done that for you.

Thank you Günsche! Now lets jam the pitot tube of the Führers plane.

Engines can stall at high AoA also if you slam toga do to airflow issues also right?

Yeah safe from hearing loss

The 737s cabin and cockpit feels so outdated imo.

Depending how steep things get you can stall the blades within the turbines which is what causes that. You'll get a loud bang, pop, or buzzing sound and loss of thrust, see your RPM winding back, and your EGT/ITT/FTIT either increase or decrease based on your altitude. You can generally catch that, but, if you are already in a situation where you are stalling you probably have a lot going on. Usually crashes are the result of a few things going wrong at once rather than one thing.

I saw some rekt video a while back where the plane falling you could see the turbines spitting fire from that. If blades continue to stall, the ability of the fan stage to deliver air to the subsequent compression stage is impeded, and it will lead to an abrupt drop in pressure inside the combustion chamber. This causes a reduction in available oxygen for combustion. The engine's performance, measured by the thrust delivered, is strongly impaired, and there is likely to be a lot of unburnt fuel remaining after the oxygen in the compressor is exhausted. That unburnt fuel ignites in a bright exterior flame as it escapes out the back of the combustion chamber and mixes with the oxygen-rich bypass flow.

Dam, I knew he owns an Airline but I had no idea he was this based about aviation, sick all round professionalisms

One of the best episodes of Mayday was one that wasn't even about planes. It had those two trains crash into each other in Canada. I wish they had more episodes like that.

Looks like the pilot narrowly missed the canopy midair after he ejected.
