Go away. .It is obvious most of this story is either embelished or made up.Let me spell it out for you;First, tell me the last time you got 25R at LAX 30 miles out on the Civet.Could happen I guess, but I have never seen it.Further more, are you gonna see a transformer go at 30 miles.Do you really think the airport would go dead (Like the scene in the movie Airplane when the guy in the tower pulls the plug).If you were the crew of the A340 on a vector to final would you just fly though final if you had a localizer flag? An A340 doesnt even need ground based equipment to fly an approach.And what about their TCAS? I can go on with this but I hope you have the picture. Kilo Mike, you should work on recocnizing internet folklore instead calling people names. I gotta second what Ried is saying here.How can the radios AND the Localizer go out long enough for this to happen.The Civet is for 25L not the right. This sounds like a fish story to me.I think KiloMike is a troll and should go away. {Plonk} you and Reid for being pretentious assholes |

{Plonk} you and Reid for being pretentious assholes- Hide quoted text - Matt Barrow, boy are you a dumbass if you think airliners are actually flown this way.Not to mention a petty jerk off.Are you the Matt Barrow who got himself fired from a certain commuter airline? It wouldnt surprise me. Matt, most people are gonna read this story and enjoy it for its entertainment value and thats it.Why cant you appreciate that.I once had an aviation instructor who said you should believe about half of what you see and 10% of what you read (pertaining to aviation).This was in the days before internet, so I would add that you should believe 1% of the stuff you read on the internet.I saw right through this story and got a good laugh out of it (I think thats what the original poster wanted).How does this make me an asshole.Matt, you are a bigger asshole if you think this story is true. |

If the main transformer for the whole place let go, its VERY likely that it takes 10 or more seconds for the generator to get up and running. Also, if I understand right, the generators dont serve the entire airport, just select facilities and one or two main runways. If such a big flash DID occur, then its likely that other cockpits would have eyes fixated on it as well. The only thing that doesn't make any sense.. is why would I only be reading about it on usenet... and not CNN. A NMAC usually makes big news. |

Dave, you also have to understand that the ATC facilities are at two separate locations.Try to imagine (even if it did take that long to restore power) how long it would take to fly from north of the approach to 24R, then though final, and then across the final for the south complex (Not diagonally mind you, but on a typicle intercept heading)? Also, the copilot would have seen the A340 first, not the captain.If you tried to check in with the tower and got no response, wouldnt you go back to approach? The thing that really gives this story away is that there is no way in hell that a crew would ignore an RA while on an approach to an airport with similtaneous approaches to parallel runways. Two crews if you count the A340 guys. The only thing that doesn't make any sense.. is why would I only be reading about it on usenet... and not CNN. A NMAC usually makes big news. This is your next clue Dave.I went back and read some of "Capt Doug's" posts and he does know a bit about airliners, but his posts show a lack of understanding of enough of the detail to actually fly one.Judging from his posts I would say he is probably a flight attendant at NWA who flys on the side.And I would say he spends alot of time talking to pilots about flying. |
