PLANE DOES 360 AT 20000 FT!!!!

Without warning or reports of turbulence, an Air Canada flight en route to
Toronto dipped and rotated violently, on early Thursday morning, causing
injuries and confusion among passengers and the crew. Strangely enough,
flight experts are still unsure about what caused the accident.

"What happened aboard Air Canada flight 190," said a reporter on CBC's The
National, "can best be described as chaos."

According to passenger accounts, the Airbus aircraft bucked and rolled side
to side abruptly, hurling dishes and people through the air. "It was
weird," one passenger told the CBC. "The plane actually turned upside down
without actually feeling it. There were people on the roof. Coffe and ****
[was] flying all over the plane."

After steadying the plane, the pilots were able to make an emergency
landing in Calgary under their own power. Ten of the 88 people aboard were
injured, even though the episode was over in 15 seconds. All have since
been released from the hospital.

So what caused the jolt? Immediately following the event, the pilot
announced that the plane's autopilot program had been knocked out. But
others aren't convinced.

"I don't think it could have been anything other than turbulence," a
Canadian corporate pilot told the CBC. "It's highly unlikely that it could
have been a mechanical problem."

Air Canada says that the Transportation Safety Board Read the whole story
is investigating, but turbulence seems plausible. In the upper atmosphere,
where many commercial jet liners like Flight 190 cruise, conditions exist
where pilots cannot predict wind patterns that can lead to turbulence.

I suspect the editor (or whoever wrote the headline) has no clue what a 360
is.

If you check out this guy's profile he just goes around posting stuff
he finds on the internet and then puts the subject in as all caps.
Notice he cross posted this to alt.guitar and alt.drugs so clearly its
not really aviation significant. As a pilot I agree, the author of the
report knows next to nothing about aviation. A 360 is common and
wouldn't upset anyone.

Actually, the original Usenet article is an sophomoric attempt to lure
participants from unrelated newsgroups into a flame fest, IMNSHO.

If you examine the article header you will note that it appears to
have been posted through a Russian gateway (http://www.tstu.ru/) from
a Verizon subscriber located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Well, I thought this quote was choice:

"The plane actually turned upside down
without actually feeling it. There were people on the roof. Coffe and ****
[was] flying all over the plane."

People on the roof, and they couldn't feel it? Even assuming he meant
"ceiling", I find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't be able to
feel that.

Wow, there's lots more leg room up here. This must be what first
class is like!

It sounds like some of Ken's ****, doesn't it?

As I was flying into PHX last week, the tower asked for a right 360 for
spacing (at only 2,100 ft.!!). Miraculously, all of the injuries were minor :

You mean you didn't have crap flying everywhere, and coffee and people on
the ceiling, and stuff?

You obviously must have done something wrong, if you didn't get the results
that the other flight did! ;-)
