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:

(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.

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.

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.
