writes: BACK UP YOUR BULL**** OBSERVATIONS WITH REAL FACTS BESIDES SAYING "NTSB WEBSITE"????????? No amount of uppercase text or question and exclamation marks can change this. IT POINTS OUT THAT YOU TALK OUT OF YOUR ASS. I ASKED A VERY DIRECT QUESTION. BACK UP YOUR STATEMENTS. SHOW US REAL ACCIDENTS THAT SUPPORT YOUR POSITION. YOU CLAIMED YOU WROTE PUBLISHED AVIATION ARTICLES. OR IS THIS ANOTHER LIE YOU LIVE DAY TO DAY???????? IF SO CLAIMED TO WRITE PUBLISHED, THEN SURELY YOU CAN ACCEDE TO MY REQUEST AND SHOW US THE DATA POINTS YOU USED TO SAY. OR IS THIS ANOTHER LIE YOU LIVE DAY TO DAY???????? LET ME GUESS YOU WON'T ANSWER MY DIRECT QUESTIONS. I'm sorry that you seem unwilling to face reality, but there are lots of real pilots who are (were) not very good pilots, as the accident statistics prove. It's just an observation, and it's an accurate one. PROVE YOUR ACCURATE OBSERVATION. WITHOUT DATA POINTS PROVING YOUR POSITION YOU TALK OUT OF YOUR ASS. |

Another potential problem is that terrain warning systems are designed to keep you out of harm's way, but for some pilots there might be a tendency to use them to see how much they can get away with. I wonder about the same thing with XM in-plane weather (apparently) showing thunderstorm location in great detail. I could see some pilots being drawn in too close, based on the data shown on their screens, and then finding out too late that they are in the bad stuff. |

I've read a number of articles that are critical of XM weather for this reason. I don't know much about XM weather, but from what I understand of it, I certainly wouldn't rely on it if I were a pilot. It sounds like a convenience rather than a reliable safety-of-life system. Then again, there are a lot of things that I wouldn't rely on as a pilot that other pilots seem to take as gospel. Some of the behaviors I see described by pilots or even illustrated by them on YouTube worry me, assuming that these people really are licensed pilots. |

... In this crash I wonder if there was any avionics on board that displays terrain warnings, even a handhelt PDA type that causes terrain in conflict to show up red on the display. I would think there would be a strong desire for Alaska pilots to have a handheld terrain warning or better, because of the frequency of mountaintops getting obscured with fog, and the general ruggedness of the terrain they have to deal with on a day by day basis. How about everyone on the group? Would you insist on terrain warning if you flew in Alaska? No. I didn't have any when I flew there. And, it wouldn't have been of any significant value - in a Cessna 120 you fly through the passes, not over the peaks... Plus, I generally consider what I can see out the window to likely be more representitive of reality than something that comes out of a computer data base. -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |

It is well known that XM weather is not real time. No one with any sense uses XM for anything other than general information as in there is heavy weather to the north. If you need real time, detailed weather you need real weather radar on board. If you were a pilot you would know that. Then again, there are a lot of things that I wouldn't rely on as a pilot that other pilots seem to take as gospel. Some of the behaviors I see described by pilots or even illustrated by them on YouTube worry me, assuming that these people really are licensed pilots. This is nothing more than your usual gratuitous shot at real pilots. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
