Historical NOTAMs
Why, you gong to do some retro simming? No. I was doing some research on the effect of volcanic eruptions on aviation. In October of 2005 I was circling around Mt. St. Helens and noticed that the visitor center was abandoned. On a nice day with steam pluming from the crater, the visitor center is never empty. Turns out that they had just issued a TFR within a 10-mile radius of the mountain due to volcanic activity. Got home to hear that they had evacuated the visitor center. I wasn't too worried about violating the TFR because I generally fly a 10-mile radius anyway. Here's a photo from the flight: http://www.damnnearwiley.com/AdamsHelensHood72dpi.jpg (It's actually Hood, St Helens, Jefferson.) Apparently, the "Temporary Flight Restriction" from Oct. 2005 is still active: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_5_9066.html although they've reduced the radius from 10 to 1.5 miles. -c |

In your research, how many volcanoes did you find that had any effect on aviation in the past 50 years? Well....I've done no research, but I know of at least one. A B-747 flying in the South Pacific area had all four engines flame-out due to volcanic ash. Once out of the cloud, the crew was able to restart the engines. ATC routed traffic around that area for some time. Bob Moore ATP B-727, B-707 Pan Am (retired) |

A little confusion between North and South Bob BA 9 was the one south of the equator. It flew through the volcanic ash from an eruption in Indonesia. Lost all 4 engines and had the windscreen, nose, and leading edges abraided from the impact with the particles. They could NOT see out of the windscreen for the rest of the flight. -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |

Given the extreme danger from volcanic ash, just about any eruption warrants some type of warning, although that isn't always sufficient to keep over-confident private pilots away from the danger. You really aren't doing "research", for if you were, the first thing you would obtain is the total number of volcanic eruptions. Then, if you had some special interest in their effects on private pilots, you would get the number that occured where private pilots could possibly be flying. So it would seem your real objective is to just start another ****ing contest. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
