Yep
No good place to belly in any place short of TEB. He made the only good decission from facts available and Lady Luck laid her hand on him and the rest of crew and all the passengers.

South Dakota to MSP is a pretty short flight. They could have flown it, but it would almost certainly have been a ferry to get the skin patched. Just rivets won't do it AFAIK, it has to be bondded. Problem with pressurised fuselages is that a tear like that is a stress riser, so even a little patch has to be prepared and doen properly. not a big issue if you fly it unpressurised, though. If I had been that guy I would have demanded a free first class pass for four pax domestic and international for the rest of my life. Even if NWA won the lawsuit, the cost of litigation would probably have been cheaper than the tix. But why would the pax settle for it? I wouldn't I'd sue em. Bertie As usual, you have a tremendous grasp on the obvious. Kind of like Mx. Actually his immediate grasp is much the same as your own. Bertie |

Well ... while the L-188 Lockheed Electra example is a turboprop, the above poster apparently didn't realize that a turboprop engine has a jet engine. Discuss. The large piston engines were incredibly complex, and generally could drive airliners at only about half the speed of those with the pure jet engines. yes, but they were so much more fun Bertie |

Does this satify you or can you not understand standard english relating to flight?. I think that I understand standard English as it relates to flight pretty well, but I still find your original "bad decision" comment surprising. Even if the gear had happened to be down for that ditching, I would not be the one to stick my neck out and call it a "bad decision" until I had heard the REASON for the gear being down. For several reasons, there may have not been a decision to be made nor time to make it in. The pilots' first job is the fly the plane, then communicate, and only then deal with internal cockpit details. According to one AP report I read (whatever THAT is worth) the pilots had at least three pages of checklists for engine out and then ditching (probably more). According to that same article, the pilots did not operate the "ditch switch" so we can guess that the pilots simply did not have time to work their way to the end of their checklists before impact.

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message .. . Apparently you are maxie. don' tknow how to work your attribs yet? Bertie Who needs to bother with attribs, dumb ass. He posted a message from George, and signed it Ricky. Is that a little too complex for your hangover? Should I say it again, and a little slower? |
