Supposedly the maintenance crews that replaced the AOA sensor on the Lions Flight also improperly calibrated the replacement sensor and failed to check it afterwards. It's never one failure that leads to catastrophic failures, but multiple. A properly trained flight crew could have caught that issue and deactivated…

Training on it is more strict state side, pilots are taught to disengage the auto trim if there’s an issue. Boeing doesn’t want them to troubleshoot the issue, they want them to disengage the auto trim. Additional training was added stateside after the Lions crash.

The previous tease did mention 240 volt for power tool use in the field, that would suggest heavy duty use if they were actually targeting real people who use 240 volt. 

Eh, houses with a pool are a harder sell in my area, except for high end houses with lots of property. They would be more desirable in your hot and dry climate. For middle class homes, pools are a harder sell in my area(maintenance and running cost). 

I’ve fixed the polls!

Regular Car Reviews have increased the lust for this car. 

Nothing new or exciting about it. The airworthiness directive addresses the issue for the US pilots through sufficient training. It was made clear that the delay was acceptable given the guidelines and understanding of the hand shake between the computer and flight crew. 

The regulator’s jobs were way ahead on the safety. The airworthiness directive issued by the FAA after the Indonesian airline incident:

More likely, you’re right. Especially given that the co-pilot only had 200 hours. Sheer panic can overcome training if you don’t have enough training for the new features of this plane.

For starters, the cam no longer has smaller intake and exhaust lobes to fit a lobe for each injector that pressurizes the fuel to over 25,000 psi. 

They already figured it out after the first one. The FAA implemented the training below for pilots to understand what to do when the angle of attack sensors are not consistent and how to work with the flight’s anti-stall feature. Proper training is needed and was not provided initially.

The Duramax is definitely a fun engine, I’d take it over the Powerstroke any day. Similar to Cummins, GM kept refining the same bottom end over the years and chased down all the lower end gremlins. Ford just keeps going with a new engine from the ground up every few years, a very Volkswagen move.

You make a good point on the heat. The VW diesels are a lot like the Cummins in that they can handle heat like no other and are limited by water temp and max temp rating. My 2006 TDI is rated to 1900 degree EGT all day long, but the point where it becomes a concern is when the coolant temp rises. Same thing for the…

The difference is that the 5.0 was old school engine was a steaming pile of shit that’s designed for automotive use. The 4.2 used in this VW is a modified version of their marine engine that was designed to handle 370 hp continuously. Marine engines are overbuilt to withstand that kind of abuse, going slightly above…

True, but it's quite possible that they had the Caterpillar and swapped it for an old mechanical. The Caterpillar was popular at the time, but that was before people realized it was a steamy pile of shit. 

Remember, we're all in this together. 

Correct. Ford no longer has it, and the one above is swapped. Lot of F650 and 750 rivals from Western Star, Kenworth etc have them, some still with the 6.7 Cummins. The small version Cummins is loved by fleet managers and hated by operators. 

You ever watch the Red Green show? Anything can be done, doesn’t mean it should be. There’s so much of a big nope on this truck, especially for the price.
