Jump to postMaybe I'm missing some cultural nuance here (land-the-plane-itis?) but I don't see how offering a visual approach to an aircraft is a safety issue. Declining a clearance that it isn't safe to accept is sort of Flying 101. And how many countries do you normally fly into over a year ? Bit like how mo...

What are the implications of the flight being in Class E airpsace (is it even considered class E at that altitude?). Do they get normal handoffs between ARTCCs like they do at normal cruise or is it more like flight following or get different squawk codes everytime you change centers.
Jump to postRNAV is Random Navigation (RNAV) meaning the tracks do not have to fly over or be based on ground NAVAIDS, VOR or VOR/DME. RNAV is inherently more customizable and, if GPS-based, more accurate. The track tolerances are linear, rather than splays as VOR tracks are. Small nit-pick: technically you ca...
Jump to postthe FAA has very exacting policies that could affect your proposal… Indeed, if there are navaids or present at the airport, whatever you plan to build may interfere with them and so the FAA may not make a favorable determination on the 7460 (an online form/application u have to file with the FAA wh...

Jump to postThat is scary stuff. I wonder at what point the delta crew realized what is happening and whether it was the atc transmission that notified them or they visially identified the incursion. Theres a lot to keep track of in those moments. The crew and atc seemed pretty shook up afterwards which is unde...
Jump to postI was under the impression that the FAA has moved away from using circling approaches for transport category aircraft. Even though crews are trained to do them they are pretty rare in practice especially at major airports. If i were to guess in this case they were likely changing runway configuratio...
Jump to postOnce the runway is extended at HVN, how much is the additional cost on average to add CAT II/III and is there process for getting things certified by the FAA once it is installed?

Jump to postKeep in mind the following which are skewing the numbers: - most of the A320/A321 are operated by LCCs/ULCCs which cram 10-20% more seats in compared to the big 3. Therefore, they fundamentally have higher seat miles per gallon. - stage length and airport mix skew these numbers. On balance, they’re...
Jump to postI thought the 747s they picked for Air Force One were ex-Transaero and couldn't be retrofitted with in-air refueling capabilities. Thanks. That seems absurd and choosing theatrical budget machinations over mission-critical capabilities, but that's what you get with that decision-making team. I coul...
Jump to postDoes anyone know if theh moved the 31L localizer accross the river on the side of the airport at DAL?
Jump to postIt looks like it took out the RWY 30 GS (tower and shelter). You can see in the video behind the left wing a GS antenna. It could be that the wing struck the tower and caught fire.
Jump to postA TACAN is not a "missed approach ground device." It is a navigational aid. As Woodreau said, they operate in the UHF band and are slightly more accurate and significantly more mobile than VOR/DME systems. Some have a VHF DME signal to provide DME to civil aircraft, but that usually is in...
Jump to postIt is indeed the tacan. I dont know how often tacans are used as the missed approach fix but its interesting to have it refered to as such. It is a lot more common to have VORs as it. As someone who works on these types of navaids and lives near them too, you are ok. While TACANs in particular radia...

Jump to postAs mentioned, according to airnav.com, it does seem that most military bases have the ALSF 1 system and not the ALSF 2 system. It was also mentioned that Runway 27 at KBOS has an ILS but no approach lights. Is this kinda rare? Yes, it is rare. Without the lights, BOS 27 has higher landing minimums....
Jump to postSo here's how I think this is going to play out. (1) They're coming in fully-coupled on automation with all 3 autopilots engaged; if they do nothing, the thing will autoland and roll out. Of course, most crews take over manually for the landing. With the low cloud deck, however, not gonna be easy t...

And that is the thing. Unless and until we have technology that can say throw the spent fuel at the sun instead of burying it, I wouldn't be part of nuclear.

Jump to postAs someone in frequent contact with the FAA on both related and totally unrelated air carrier matters it’s evident to me that leadership at the DOT and FAA are asleep at the wheel at best, and non existent at worst.

Jump to postGLS will only pick up when multi band GPS satellites are available and allow CAT2 and CAT3 approaches. When this happens, it will replace ILSes very fast. Currently, there is not much demand due to CAT1 only constraints for GBAS, and LPV is cheaper and easier for the areas where SBAS coverage are a...

I noticed that the captain manually deployed the speedbrake after touchdown, is this how it was actually done or is it just to make it seem like they are moving stuff around for the promo?
Jump to postFAA is a completely inept agency that's understaffed to boot. While the matter in question is serious your response is a little over dramatic. Yes the agency is understaffed, but to say its inept is a little tough. The US has one of the safest and most efficient airspaces in the world and given its...
Jump to postThe regulators are usually quite capable at searching for unwanted (and potentially illegal) emissions. It's their job, after all. In the US, that would be the FCC. Anybody stupid enough to try this should expect a friendly visit by law enforcement officers in short order. So for aviation related f...
