I believe it was the same airplane with a different crew and the jumpseater recognized the situation and responded correctly. The first part may be off. The second part is correct.
You have trouble carrying two thoughts at once. Boeing and the FAA are criminally negligent. The pilots responded poorly. The Lion Air crash, in particular, was very recoverable.
I’m not arguing this again, because it’s clear that you’re incapable of reconciling the two ideas above.
Life’s short. Being a bitch is optional.
Both crews responded poorly on top of the sins of Boeing and the FAA. Responding in a manner consistent with uncommanded pitch procedures in the 737 fixes both situations whether they knew about the new system or not. Sorry that’s hard for some to understand.
Just memorize the comprehensive trip review answers. Those are the ones that are most time consuming and have the least applicable use in the real world.
Just heated hangars. My memory is getting a bit dodgy on the numbers, but I think the cabin had to be -23C to start and -15C for takeoff. Even then the avionics weren’t very happy until the plane warmed considerably.
We tried to explain to our dispatch that we couldn’t do the next day’s trips because of limitations. Their response? Show up earlier. I can still hear my partner yelling into the phone “How will that make the plane warmer?”. Blew up their whole day.
I was up there again a few years later during similar weather, but we talked them into making it a turn.
Yeah, I actually think that’s pretty close to where F and C meet. The next day was delayed until we could put the plane in a hangar and get it warmed up to minimum starting temp. We accidentally left two bottles of water on the plane and they were still liquid, but flash froze with just a bit of agitation.
We eventually repositioned down to Eagle, CO where it was a balmy -7C. We were walking around in short sleeves enjoying the heat.
Nah. It’s a good machine for ones and twosies who don’t mind a single stop for coast to coast trips. I flew a lot of Challenger owners who were happy to slum it in the Lear fleet when not dragging 9 friends along with them.
Its a clean sheet design from Bombardier, so it only resembles the original Lears. It’s greatest sin is that the Phenom can do everything it can for less money in a small, slow and shitty package.
This seems like a deal. I believe the charter card price for a Lear 40 was $ 108k for 25 hours. That’s the everything included price, but it’s also decade old numbers.
Faster than a what? I have about 4000 hours in the 40/45/75. Chicago to San Diego is right on the edge of comfortable flying range. And you might have to stretch it by slowing to M .76. That’s assuming a 50kt average headwind. It’s a one stop trip in the winter heading west.
About $2500/hr to operate. 4 hours of cruise is about 5200lbs of burn, or 780 gallons.
