I was in the 8th Std then, in BCBS, Bangalore. Followed all the stories about the Keelors and others. But Pukistan was very, very far away from my mind then. When Shastri died I remember I heard about it while we were camping next to the Seringapattam river near Mysore, after a day's mahseer fishing.

I do not know if this qualifies as simulated crash situation training, but US pilots are taught to recover from unusual attitudes all tihe time as part of instrument rating training and recurrent training.

No, I dont think so. In any case, in case of decompression, there's plenty of time to put on a mask - even if it's explosive decompression.

Nope. See the FAA regulation: http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/acs/61-107.txt It says: (3) FAR Section 91.211(b) requires .........

Isn't it true that one of the pilots are supposed to wear the oxygen mask all the time, just in case of a decomp? ( No, I dont think so.

Maybe one of you chaps is talking of Civilian aircraft while the other is talking about Military aircraft?

You should never never never be landing in tailwind conditions to begin with. Not quite - while its always recommended to land into wind for obvious reasons, there may be many reasons while this may not be possible/advisable at times. All aircraft have a permissable tailwind as well as cross wind l...

Should there have been a medal for Op Parakram at all? It is a frustrating exercise to find out the armed forces is instituting medals for 'non-wars' . IMHO, Parakram does not deserve a medal. ......

Unbelievable, but we dont HAVE any more big fat pilots - they're actually grounded, and I dont mean the oldies, but the young guys on the flight line.

Maybe not. With the advent of HSI and the size of datacubes (256x256) we come to a figure like 13 million - can you imagine sending that down to the ground for processing?

What we are talking is polar orbit not GSO correct? Irrespective, the sat will not stay at that spot for long, thus the problem doesnt go away, and there is limited fuel budget...

expending fuel for repositioning in war scenario will quickly exhaust the fuel, thus is taken as an extream measure rather than regular operation... Not so - without going into details, minor positional changes (ie, within 1000 odd kms) will not use up much gas. Remember, we will have notice - is t...
