Short approach is quite different from long, way off center landing.

Was wondering the same :).

Well ladies and gentlemen, what you saw there was a very good example of a non-stabilized approach which in commercial aviation should have resulted in a go-around.

It is usually Hamilton who can’t deal with the pressure and then gets on the radio to cry about whatever ;).

Four overtakes in 78 laps with 20 cars... Wow, what a huge amount -_-

I think you severely overestimate the overtaking opportunities on Monaco, overestimate the “handicap” (HAM might not have felt happy with it, but it was obviously driveable, he does have a history of not feeling happy and complaining in the car if it is not perfect). And you severely underestimate the benefit of…

So HAM drove a more powerful car from pole to the win on a track that is barely two cars wide for the most part, making it relatively easy to keep people behind you (in dirty air) and to keep track position, and that deserves driver of the day?

The world and what it has come to.

Imagine a cockpit with all kinds of alarms going off, stall warning, stick shaker etc. Then include the fact that the trim wheel on the 737 is often moving by itself already due to a system called STS (Speed Trim System) and you might not have the trim all that high on your priority list. It could even be just muscle…

Because the system was not thought through properly or in the worst case, corners were cut with full knowledge. And in very broad sense it is also a result of slapping a patchwork of automated systems on very, very old basic design.

There is no such restriction that I am aware of. It might be an operator specific thing. Basically, when you do a typerating to get certified for the 737, you get certified for the family of aircraft from the Classic to the NG or even the MAX with just differences training between the generations. A simple option…

Unfortunately the angle of attack is not (always) equal to your pitch.

It has been an option on previous gen 737s as well. No extra training is required, you can go from flying a 737 with the display option disabled to one that has it enabled without issues. It is literally a single gauge extra on a display.

Some do. It is an optional item to display on the primary flight displays, if you have paid for it. For example, this is what Southwest has been adding to their MAX fleet after the Lion Air crash. It is sometimes described as an extra sensor but AFAIK all they have done is enable the display option so pilots can…

It’s about damn time. I’m sorry for those in the US who had no idea about this, but the US has been forcing a similar program onto travelers from countries that do not require visas. That system is called ESTA (one of the questions required to answer in the application for that system is “are you a terrorist”).

Don’t get your terms mixed up. The FO is basically never PIC. You mean PF (Pilot Flying). To the best of my knowledge, Ethiopian designates the airport the plane departed from as a “captains only” airport. Meaning the captain would have been pilot flying.

You assume that everything is quite chill and relaxed in the cockpit and there is plenty of time to trouble shoot. Should this have been the exact same error as Lion Air, expect blaring alarms in the cockpit, a stick shaker constantly going off and indications pointing you away from what is actually the largest threat…

Interesting to see the differences between US and EU. For one, it seems like the chip based cards we have are far less susceptible to skimming/shimming. I understand chip based cards are still not as widespread in the US? Second, most people I know will only use a credit card if there is no other option or there is…
