Contour's move has been delayed until at least Friday, possibly until Tuesday.
Jump to postCVR breaker wasn't pulled until 2 hours after landing, so no CVR audio. The NTSB is pretty pissed about that.

Jump to postOh OK, thanks for the info. Hey speaking of "the third runway" when was that built? And that's the southern-most one, right? What is now 25L/7R? Yes. October 5, 2000. It was supposed to be 7/25, with the other two runways keeping the original designations. They were talked out of that. Up...
Jump to postJust like the Boom Supersonic, this is nothing more than a marketing stunt.
These airplanes will never make it off the ground, literally and figuratively.
It is SCF in IATA land, so used to calling it SDL (since the ICAO code is KSDL). Their fares so far average about $100 higher to Vegas ($349) than what they were out of PHX ($249). Burbank and Denver fares are about $50 higher most days from what I saw. Oh, I didn't know that...odd since the usual ...
Jump to postAdd cameras (IR) and maybe range measurement in all the wingtips and on all tails just for the pilots to be sure. Not more than a mobile phone camera each. You haven’t done much STC work in aviation, I see. Those cameras and other equipment would cost a couple of million just in design and certific...

Jump to postDumb question (haven’t watched any of the videos or anything) but what is the braking procedure for this type of landing? Do you use reverse thrust or brakes on the mains only?

Jump to postInteresting stuff. I had heard the phrase intention to flight before but never really thought much of it.
