Just goes to show you GOD loves fools and babies......... How was the landing he asked?.........well did you walk away from it? People just don't get it, just because a trained and responsible pilot can make it look easy, well it isn't. I wonder, did anyone hear him say "here hold my beer and watch this" before he started the engine? The first instance of this dates back to 1959 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Xtobk09VQ |

I think way too many people are getting too comfortable with the idea that a bunch of electric motors are completely safe for air travel. That the in lab and test phase failure rate is so low that no need to worry......
I was in hueys (Don should remember this) when the Blackhawks were accepted and they told all us huey guys we had to transition (I was smart and when to Chinooks). Well wasn't a few months in service when we started seeing the yard darts diving in.......yep small electrical problem with the stabilator going full down on it own un-commanded. Couldn't stop it either. Well no one could admit to design flaw, lots of excuses about radio, radar, microwave etc interference causing the problem. So the fix, well a trigger that kills power to the stabilator trim system. No fix because they never really knew why it happened. Airbus installed a real system reset, did not fix their problem either. The more complicated, they more sub-system controllers, they more loaded digital controlled systems they more they miss and they more problems show up totally unexpected when the un-tested scenarios finally show up and scare the total shit out of the operator or kill him. The fix, well as history shows it will be a KILL switch or a RESET button. |

Now 30 years later I got retired from the Sheriff air unit they get 3 for the fire fighting roll .... They follow me like a bad smell. |

Hills, your looking at it all wrong!
Breed people to not care about living and dying, then it would be so much easier and cheaper to design all kinds of aircraft! Problem solved... Your welcome. |

Back when I was a C-130 crew chief.....1985-91 we called them "crash hawks" Making things complicated just to make them complicated, (German cars etc.) is worrisome. The C-130's used cable operated flight controls with hyd assist, No fly by wire...Remember the airbus demo when the plane said it was going to land even though there was no runway.. OOPS. Lets take the pilot out of the equation, what could possibly go wrong? (1988)
