Jay
Sometimes it's easier to go to Google and type the word or phrase in to get an answer vs asking the group and waiting around for an answer G Thanks, Big John -- but it wasn't me that was doing the asking! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

he set it correctly.. his mental math was in error..
BT "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:iMR0c.452166$na.1092261@attbi_s04... Why do you call it a "horrible finish". Nobody got hurt and we got to see a cool ejection sequence!! You forgot the little smiley thingy. :-) But assuming you're not joking, for a moment, there a zillion reasons to call it a horrible finish. Hell, just from a taxpayer's standpoint I'm ****ed that we're out $20 million because the guy couldn't set his altimeter correctly. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

you can't set QFE when the field elevation is that high above sea level

A comment from one of the ASF people at a CFIRC I was at over the past weekend was that he is now flying a desk at the Pentagon. The same man stated that the problem was that the pilot had become too comfortable with practicing the maneuver at his home base, which was about 800 (+/-; I don't recall the exact number) feet lower than the airfield at which the accident occurred. At the accident location he set up the split-S so that the top was at the proper altitude MSL -- at his home base, meaning that the entire maneuver was executed 800 feet lower than it should have been. I have *no* military jet experience, but especially for airshows I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't an altimeter set to QFE to serve as a sanity check against exactly this sort of problem.

Sorry, Jay! ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Guess you and I will have to stick with full "N" numbers...no abbreviations! Jay B, In the UK Q codes are used all the time. We set QNH airfield elevation ie above sea level when we are going cross country and set QFE when either working the pattern or arriving to a pattern so that on landing the altimeter reads zero. The normal form of joining in the UK is an overhead join usually at 1000' above the centre of the field with a descent on the dead side aiming to be at pattern height as you cross the upwind end of the runway. Makes for an exciting time when you hear a load of aircraft "in the overhead" sg We also use QDM magnetic bearing to a station QDR bearing from a station when doing a VDF letdown and then QGH, which is heading to steer accompanied by decent instructions from the controller. |

Why not

I'm always amused when I hear someone spew back the Democratic Party's line against "corporate interests." Mary and I are a corporation -- and we represent small business in every way. But if your become successful and big, for whatever reason, then you're evil. Doesn't matter if you do it through hard work and by giving good value to your customers...you're BIG and thus you're EVIL. End of story. I guess that just makes us mean, old "corporate interests"... Capitalist running dog!!! |

Everything you see, touch, use, eat, wear or live in was probably produced by a corporation and could be produced in no other way. Actually major stuff came from sole proprietorship or partnership business. You see, corporations sell the finishing products. Parts within products is bought from sole proprietorship or partnerships business. Only marginally correct. So, Technically, everything you see, touch, use, eat, wear or live in most likely produced by private business. Bot even technically correct. Only corporations have the power to manipulate financial system. Back to school for you: Corporations are PRIVATE business. And what the hell is a financial "system"? Quite barfing back the crap your leftist professors crammed down your throat and think for yourself (and at least get some basic facts correct). |
