View Full Version : Some caveats for people new to aviation and to this group


C J Campbell[_1_]
January 6th 07, 08:37 AM
Every now and then we get a contentious, obnoxious know-it-all who in fact
has only rudimentary knowledge of aviation. Past examples include the Fish
Who Must Not Be Named, AcroBat, Skyloon, and others. There is at least one
such haunting the aviation groups even now. The current guy is small potatoes
compared to some of the previous ones.

These people are not friends of aviation. They have no idea what they are
talking about. They freely give advice that may be dangerous. They do not
care if they kill somebody else and in fact they probably hope they do.

Beware of anyone who continually posts advice or information that runs
counter to what the vast majority of seasoned pilots and flight instructors
here have to say. Yes, the rest of us can be wrong and we all have our
disagreements, but if someone stands out as continually disagreeing with
people who actually fly, he is not your friend. He is trying to kill you.
Treat him accordingly.

sure... airplanes with the biggest wings fly the best! Well, unless
sometimes they get flapped faster, or have powerful electric flaps...
or bigger fans on the front, or on the wings. Of course if there are
TWO pilots they can pedal faster so that adds bank angle. :^)

It is not just the occasional troll. In the years I have been following the
aviation groups, I have seen people posting here from mental hospitals,
prisons, radical hate groups, and just about everywhere else.

What people need to be reminded of is that any advice they receive here might
be coming from some rather, um, special people.

With remarkably few changes from the original post I offer the
following:

Every now and then we get a contentious, obnoxious know-it-all who in
fact has only rudimentary knowledge of politics and leadership. Past
examples include Andrew Johnson, Warren G. Harding, and others. There
is one such haunting the office even now. The current guy is the worst
compared to some of the previous ones.

These presidents are not friends of America. They have no idea what they are
talking about. They freely give advice that may be dangerous. They do not
care if they kill somebody else and in fact they probably hope they do.

Beware of anyone who continually offers advice or information that
runs counter to what the vast majority of citizens and statesmen have
to say. Yes, the rest of us can be wrong and we all have our
disagreements, but if someone stands out as continually disagreeing
with people who actually have experience, he is not your friend. He is
trying to kill you. Treat him accordingly.

An recent example is one poster (in another group) who claimed to be a
'naval aviator' in Vietnam and later flew privately.
His knowledge of aerodynamics was such that he 'knew' heavy aircraft
couldn't fly at low altitudes because the low pressure area under the
wing would suck the aircraft straight into the ground..
So there you go ground effect is an invention of those lift fairies :-)

Probably half the people posting on Usenet are not who they say they are or
haven't done the things they say they have done. Even if you ARE who you say
you are on Usenet, it's STILL incumbent on those reading what is written to
do their own research to separate fact from fiction.
Only a total fool takes Usenet at face value. Everything posted on Usenet is
questionable.
When you come to Usenet, you are well advised not to take it seriously. Your
concern for example about this poster being an imposter is simply Usenet 101
for the average reader out here and certainly not worth all the trouble you
are going to in "exposing" this person.
Learn to take Usenet for what it is and it will save you a lot of trouble.
On Usenet, nobody cares for these long drawn out "investigations" started by
some individual to "expose" somebody they are mad at, don't believe, or
dislike for some reason. It just takes up our bandwidth and is a total waste
of time .
If this guy is a phony, his posted information will disclose it soon enough
for those who know, and for the rest it doesn't matter anyway.
Hell, I've been posting on Usenet for years under my own name. There are
people out here who know me personally. Even with that, there is still no
absolute proof that what you are reading right now has been posted by me and
not someone else. Trust me on this one; it doesn't matter.
Typical Usenet example as follows;
I was underposted by an individual who wanted to tell the entire world that
I wasn't Dudley Henriques. He said he could prove that because he knew
Dudley Henriques personally and knew where he was.
My wife immediately sent him an email asking him to PLEASE go immediately
and ask the real Dudley Henriques if he liked to do yard work and if so,
would he consider coming home right away, since the imposter she had been
living with for 40 years absolutely hated to do yardwork!!.
That's Usenet my friend! Just take it as it is and enjoy it for WHAT it is.
Trying to change it is a lesson in futility
:-)))

Very true. At worst; it's entertainment, with no waiting for your favorite

Education, grandmother, ova and a fair amount of suction.
For some reason aviation is a subject that kooks,wannabes and Walter
Mittys latch onto..
Why?
I have no idea. perhaps with all the accumulated wisdom you have you
might like to pass on the reasons ?
If you want to fly or learn to fly there are hundreds (even thousands)
of instructors waiting out there for you to walk through the doors.
Why just pass over a posters claims when you know that they are
seriously in error ?

The most useless things in aviation are;
fuel in the bowser
runway behind you
and altitude above you

It's the nature of man that he's excited by adventure. It's also the nature
of man that not all men are adventurers.

I don't play well with veiled sarcasam, and I've already stated a cornacopia
of "reasons" :-)

Yes I know. I'm one of them :-)

As a flight instructor, I will naturally "correct" any "error" in a post
that I determine might be harmful to someone. This however applies to flight
safety. I should also add that even my "correction" should be considered and
researched to competent authority for verification by all who read it on
Usenet.
You on the other hand, are attempting to deal with a person's authenticity
on Usenet, which is a total waste of time and NOT related in any way to
flight safety. You are of course free to do this, as I am free to tell you
it's a waste of time. See.....that's Usenet! Nobody wins. :-))

I always tell people when I post something I feel is of importance
concerning flight safety on Usenet;
"Please feel free to take this post to competent authority for verification
".
Then, after years of posting comment and information, if that information is
factual and accurate, the number of people who actually take your posts to
check them out might diminish a bit :-)

All of the people you meet in your life carry a facade they present to
the world, including the guy or gal in the mirror. Surely part of
growing up is learning that, and then learning your response to it.

As far as I can see, I'm either savvy enough that I passed on commenting
about something I didn't feel was important enough to warrant any direct
attention, or I'm just plain stupid and missed something that this poster
has decided I should have commented on and didn't :-))

Pretty obviously. I didn't mention the price which is payed by all those
who try something and fail.

For every Galileo there are a million crackpots. It is up to the Galileos of
the world to prove that they are right. If they can't do that, they are
crackpots. If you wanted to see if Galileo was right, all you had to do was
look through his telescope. All that Cayley had to do to prove his lift
equations was build a glider. That is the difference between pioneers and
crackpots. If you want to tell me that lift is caused by lift gremlins, you
better show me some gremlins.
