(I know I would be ![]() The next time you fly, look out the window. If it is a clear day, you can make out object, even at altitude. I have no trouble recognizing Monterey and Santa Cruz, even when flying to SJC at night. The flight instructors said they couldn't fly. So, if they couldn't fly, why did they hijack the plane and fly it? Are you suggesting the planes weren't hijacked by the people that took these classes? That's been reported all over the news the past few years. And at least one of them couldn't even spell. How on earth could they pilot 757/767s? How is it realistic to think that they could? Do you think they would have picked someone illiterate to fly the planes? btw, are any of the responders to my posts real pilots? If so, are any of you guys 757/767 pilots (not just simulators)? Are there any Aeronautical Engineers here who have the education and training to debunk the article scientifically? I don't need to debunk the article. There is ample evidence of what happened, especially in the PA crash, unless you thought the PA incident was unrelated. |

Truth,
btw, are any of the responders to my posts real pilots? If so, are any of you guys 757/767 pilots (not just simulators)? Are there any Aeronautical Engineers here who have the education and training to debunk the article scientifically? Hey, WAKE UP! It's 2006. Do you really, honestly think no one has addressed those "issues" since 9/11/2001? Everybody and his brother have - in the first MINUTES after the incident. Search the internet, pull the TV "news" tapes. You're way behind in your "fact finding"... -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Hey, let's talk about TWA 800 instead...
How could a 747 with most of its nose removed (and the accompanying rearward CG shift) maintain level flight and climb for 5000'? Where is the autopilot located in a 747? |

Level flight and climb are mutually excluded. But wings
level and climb is very possible. The weight of the node section being gone would cause the rapid climb and there was no roll input since the wings were attached. Could it have been shot down by a missile? Or attacked by a UFO? Or maybe it was hijacked? Sure those are very slight possibilities, but the FBI and FAA seem to have put a pretty good case for the fuel tank explosion theory.

Pilots fly IFR at high altitude, not because they can't see
and control the airplane, but because the FAA rules require Instrument Flight Rules, not instrument flight.

![]() TRUTH wrote: The point is that the article's author says that pilots use their instruments when flying at that high altitude. He's blurring the lines. Above 18,000 feet pilots are required to be on an instrument flight plan. That may or may not require them to use their instruments for navigation. So if they're not instrument trained, aren't they really "flying blind"? (I know I would be ![]() It is easy to teach a person to read a couple of instruments and get to a certain place once you have already been placed in the air. The flight instructors said they couldn't fly. Anybody can fly a plane once it's already in the air with minimal instruction. The skill comes in taking off and landing. That's been reported all over the news the past few years. And at least one of them couldn't even spell. How is that even relavant? How on earth could they pilot 757/767s? How is it realistic to think that they could? You make it sound like brain surgery. Any dolt can fly a plane that's already in the air. btw, are any of the responders to my posts real pilots? Yep. Are there any Aeronautical Engineers here who have the education and training to debunk the article scientifically? You don't need an engineer. Anybody in the aviation industry reads that and laughs. |

It doesn't take much talent to steer the plane, after all the hard work of configuring the plane has been done. They didn't have to know ho to operate the gear, flaps, etc. All they had to know was which direction to fly and how to disconnect the autopilot. btw, are any of the responders to my posts real pilots? If so, are any of you guys 757/767 pilots (not just simulators)? Are there any Aeronautical Engineers here who have the education and training to debunk the article scientifically? Yes -- a "real pilot" since 1959. I have about fifty close friends who either fly or have flown for the airlines and they all would say that you are full of ****. |
