Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Mixie needs to tell that to the people who wer e seriously
injured recntly when a jetliner did a sudden dror in altitude of
several thousand feet.

But the plane came out OK. Maybe that's what he meant.

Passengers who fail to keep their seat belts fastened risk injury even in
moderate turbulence that is harmless to the aircraft.

Ice cream has no bones.

Do I win the contest for who is best at stating an obvious fact which has
nothing to do with the discussion?

None that I found alarming. Downdrafts are harmless as long as you're well

Sorry. Mixie won that prize ages ago.

N.B. Having plonked Mixie once again, I only see his posts when
others quote him.

Better start reading that AD.
a. Not all Cessna 150's are affected by this AD, just the ones with a
swept tail.

That is, seven out of every ten 150s built, essentially everything after 1966
or so. That's a fascinating detail.

Important enough if you own a C150.


b. It has nothing to do with the rudder interfering with the elevator
but the head of rudder stop bolts got hooked.

"... such as contact between the rudder and the elevator."

Nope. Read again.


Will all of these details fit on the head of a pin?

Reading and understanding details of ADs is part of aviation. The same
aviation you claim having an interest in.

Done. The text hasn't changed.

You're all dancing to the MX tune, of course. I kept the initial title
so the music could continue, but reduced the newsgroups to only RAP. I
don't want to share the fun over a half dozen newsgroups.

Now here is a question that really displays my ignorance: what
certificates do military pilots hold? Are those certificates issued by
the FAA?

No. The military is a law unto itself in this area, although obviously
military flight experience converts to a civilian ticket fairly easily
once a pilot leaves the service.

That depends on what you're claiming to be an expert at.

I don't claim to be an expert at anything, but I'm quite certain that
I know more about flying a 737 or 747 than the vast majority of
pilots who have flown only Cessna 172s.

Frankly - no, you don't. What you know would be akin to
reading a book on brain surgery and claiming to actually be
a brain surgeon.

No, it's like saying that anyone who has driven any car knows a

games on a personal computer, no matter how sophisticated.

But that is also an incorrect statement.

If only real flying experience were important, then nobody would ever
use simulators. In fact, if someone wants to fly a 747, he is better
off flying a simulator of a 747 than he is flying a Cessna 152. While
the simulation isn't the same as flying a 747 for real, it's a lot
closer than the real-world experience of a Cessna 172 would be.

But the simulator experience you're talking about is absolutely
meaningless without real-world flight experience. For that matter,
the "simulator" in your case really isn't one. It's a computer game,
something which is VERY far removed from what the airlines call
a simulator. It is, in fact, absolutely nothing like a real simulator, and
essentially useless for meaningful flight training.
