Aircraft maintenence is regulated by federal aviation authorities, in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. It’s incredibly regulated, and transparent.

Run to failure isn’t a thing in aviation.

But boy, oh boy. Say this to a believer and get ready to loose an afternoon.

I’d probably pay $15 alone for that. Looks like a lot of (frustrating) fun

It did, but Sir Floofy butt enjoyed the second round of pets.

Also, love the pet love this post generated. Keep being awesome!

I like your approach, and for what it’s worth, I live in about a half km from the aberfoyle bottling plant, and am on well water from the same aquifer as the plant. I’ve never once had well issues, or low water.

I’m in no way trying to “carry water” for a terrible company like Nestle, however the impact on the local populations water supply is minimal, and the community benefits from tax dollars that keep our property costs relatively low and our community centres and parks well maintained.

Again, fuck nestle and their more nefarious business practices, but there is some nuance to the discussion.

yes, had they followed the tcas, the accident might have been avoided.

There it is. I’m glad we could finally come to an agreement. Thanks for the entertainment.

Is that some kind of a faux pas? I don’t know who mentor pilot is

Yours wasn’t a question, it was a statement, and a wrong one. TCAS adherence wasn’t fundamentally changed after the accident in question, but it brought to light it’s importance.

So let’s come back to the original argument: following the erroneous instructions of atc over the TCAS resulted in the accident - if they had followed TCAS, like the DHL crew, they’d be alive.

Edit: posted two answers by accident. Deleted one

According to the wiki..

TCAS was a relatively new technology at the time of the accident, having been mandatory[Note 2] in Europe since 2000.

Two years prior to the accident, in Europe, where the accident happened.

them obeying the atc command was reasonable and expected course of action.

That’s incorrect, and is exactly why we train to ignore ATC commands and follow TCAS advisories. We don’t even tell ATC if we’re climbing or descending, simply “Aircraft XYZ, TCAS RA”
