How is: 1., it was flying too slowly; 2., it was several tons overweight and beyond its aft center of gravity limit; 3., two of its four engines were damaged or erroneously shut down; 4., it was over-fueled. 'airmanship'? 1. Flying too slowly is DEFINITELY airmanship! 2. Flying overweight is airmanship because of poor flight planning. 3. Shutting down a wrong engine is airmanship of the first order. 4. Over fueling adds too much weight and can affect weight & balance computations. There -- did I answer your question? |
