The acocryphal story I related above took place in Pune.

Apparently, there are reasons that engines get turned off to save fuel. Airline pilots, what fuel saving measures does your airline implement? That is not an emergency situation. There should be majority voting in that case, i.e. both pilots in agreement, i.e. two sets switches and only when autopi...

Vayutuvan

Just asking a dumb question: why allow engines to be turned of during flight. I don't see the need to ever turn of engines in flight for a commercial aircraft. Are there some situations which warrants a turn off engines during flight? If there are none, the act of switch off engines in altitude sho...

Vayutuvan

What telemetry is recorded? Switch position from the switch itself or from some fuel pump controller/ECU? Exactly my doubt as well. Switch positions can be seen only if there are pictures. Am I correct in saying that CVR and FDR do not have any imaging capability? My understanding is that they reco...

Your tier3 city NHAI officer takes home over Rs50 lakhs per month after meeting the office's monthly rishwat quota! That is an extraordinary claim.

Anyway, I don't think we can divine this one out through deductive logic. Atleast, I can't.

Vayutuvan

We can't say for sure which pilot is lying. The one to ask the question might have wanted to put the suspicion on the second one or it was genuine question and the second lied. Did one of the pilots get replaced after they got into the plane by a passenger? Then there won't be any change in the crew...

Vayutuvan

Would the switches be accessible to > a jumpseat passenger in the cockpit, like a deadheading crew member ? My guess is that (long time back I had a glance into a cockpit of a plane, pilot and copilot are seated such that, if anybody accesses any of the dials or switches they have to reach out from ...

Land Ceiling Acts, urban and farmland, could have played a big role in lifting people out of poverty on top of INC welfare schemes. Pakistan never had any reforms and hence they have still have feudal lords - zamindars, zagirdars, maqtedars, and such. It is hard to find people with large lands in In...

Vayutuvan

This is scary if one of the pilots indeed do this. If pilots cant be trusted no one can be. But they did not, if I understand the CVR conversation correctly. This part In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff . The other pilot responded that he d...

Vayutuvan

So in 10 seconds they toggled back. Those 10 seconds duration was the critical period. Is it possible that there is race condition either in the software or the controller electronics that led to cycling and the auto start to happen? Going by the above, with high probability this is not a pilot error.

Vayutuvan

Now I am confused. If they have not removed the U, how come there are no radioactive leak signatures? Does that mean they are placed in hardened containers which survived the MoAB blasts? If so, Iran can retrieve them in time.

There are 4 spokes in this Engine Wheel:
1.Politcos
2.Babus
3.Services
4.Import lobby
If two of the above four join together then no amount of jingoism is going to get us the engine tech.

Would No. 4 be able to payoff others? That might have been the case during non-BJP govt.

That is interesting. We can't live without them nor can we live with them. Dyes are required for paints which prevent rust. Not a chemical engineer but do dyes have any functional uses or are they simply for aesthetics? (OT sorry)
