assistant: I am familiar with the Assumed Temp but this was used when using
"Standard Power" which was less than "Maximum" power.  Since you fly a
Boeing A/C I know we are all using the same figures.  I know that
Phillepe and I are talking about the same things just language is what
we are trying to sort out.  How do you like the 737?  Boeing knows how
to build them don't they?
So glad to hear from you.....Jim.....

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm going to make a guess about the EPR's,  just to get it started and
comments from you and others flying the 767.  We'll play with the 767 as a
TEST,  in which case any airplane can be calibrated or documented, etc.
So,  in the 767 if a person were to have a complete failure such as AEROPERU,
 to go to PITCH & POWER,  probably a safe PITCH would be five degrees
positive  and a power setting with the levers back to the aft section of the
quadrant which will be about 1.03/1.05 EPR's.  This does kind of surprise me
though, I would have thought the POWER LEVERS would be more fwd.
Sometime when you are inbound on the LOC. and approaching the Glide Slope
with everything on the numbers, double check and see what EPR's you have and
PITCH
ATTITUDE.  Then on passing the FINAL, again check and see what EPR setting it
takes with final flap and gear down.  In the 747 the EPR does not change
uch,
only what climatic conditions dictate.
By the way, have you seen any of the TRANSCRIPT of the accident I have been
laboring through?

V-1,V-R"
That's true, but i think it should be so for every take-off and landings:
be prepared. That why when i'm rolling for TO i always remind me
"attitude 12 degrees" (flying 737) which is the most important if an engine
failure occurs at V1 or later. Rudder input is (for me) an automatic reflex
to stabilize the aircraft in roll and heading.
You're right, and even when the Cpt is taking-off.
I will always remember simulator training session, where the instructor
puts an engine flame-out after Vr. I don't know why but the Cpt (flying),
gave input on the wrong rudder, the airplane was not less than 60� degrees
bank.
I had my feet close to the rudder and finally correct it.
In the reality, i would not wait so long, but it's was only a training.
If it occurs in a simulator while you are prepared for such a thing, it can
occur in the reality too. So my opinion is that both pilots have to be
prepared.
Yes and if you know that 1 engine failure occurs for minimum 5 pilot
incapacitations, you will also be prepared to take control when you are
 not flying.

Write your reply.

assistant: Not so much that I rushed it, I just wanted to see how it would
react if I cut the engine on final in a standard approach configuration.  As
expected, the result was an immediate dive toward the ground, and raising
flaps immediately was the only way to bring the aircraft anywhere near
the glideslope again.  If the pilot of the aircraft in Avon Florida had
reacted similarly, the result may have been different.  OTH, they DID
crash within a quarter mile of the approach end, whereas I tried it at
2.3 DME and had a little more room to play with.  Good thing you can
walk away from a simulator. :-)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hey Sam.
One of the troubles that you will fo no doubt be aware of is that you
will have a problem with the passenger list in all flights due to over
booking, space available and no shows. You have to be certian that if
you were calling families of the persons listed on the manifest, you had
the right people, there have been cases of airliners going down and the
passenger list was used as the truth and a few people find out later
that the airline has said they were killed, this is the reason for the
time delay.  A few posts ago, you said the same as to why TWA didnot
release a p/l for a Delta flight that was using a TWA maintnance hangar,
the answer to this one is simple, It wasn't TWA's jet or property.  The
same can be held true when you go to the TWA gate in an airport and try
to see if the USAir flight that is shairing the concourse with TWA has
your friend on it, you will have to find someone who works for that
respective air carrier, the only time that you will find the airlines in
a talking mood is when it benifits them.

No, the correct procedure is to call your destination and tell them

tell the passengers what the problem is and what you are going to do
about it.  Next contact a QUALIFIED mechanic to take a look to find out
what the problem is and fix it and sign it off.
No Bill it's not covered in the Pilot's Handbook because it is not an
authorized procedure.  There are exceptions in Air Carrier operations
for 3 and 4 engine aircraft.  The Pilot must be qualified to ferry.
There must be minimum crew for flight on board and it must be approved
as a test flight/ferry and a ferry permit obtained from the FAA or in
house approval if all parameters are met....Jim....

answer your question, we would have to rule out any possibilty of
lightning as evidence to be the cause of the TWA 800 disaster.  On the
night of this tragic event the weather didn't show any possibilties of
lightning in the area.  Also as for rumors of a Turkish flight.  I would
only turn my head away from it unless it wasn't a rumor.  Havn't heared
anything about this latest rumor.  But if such a rumor is true, all i
can tell you is that it has no tie in's to this event.  Also if the
Turkish flight did have the same mechnicle failure with pump sparks
ignited fuel in the center fuel tank.  That i would then would take that
into evidence.  Since that was one major possibility for the twa 800
event.
