Scouts have bumpy landing
("Paul kgyy" wrote)
I thought grass gear-up landings were more hazardous than using the runway? Things can dig into the grass, producing a much faster stop. Although maybe it's a toss-up, as a hard surface landing might increase the odds of a fire, depending on the type of aircraft. I clipped the other two newsgroups, speaking of hazardous - especially alt.disasters.aviation. Yikes! Montblack |

So you're an A&P or NTSB investigator now? Do they have game simulations for maintaining aircraft? What do you know about GA plane maintenance? Did your gear fail in your baron ever? Oh, that's right, you can't try that scenario in your game. Technically, M's comment is quite correct. It could have been a malfunction OR it could have been improperly maintained. OR both. OR neither. M did not say it *WAS* improperly maintained... Nor am I, since I have no idea. Just picking at the bare bones Boolean logic of the statements. Jim |

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... M. Fricker writes: No, the airport manager didn't say that. The airport manager is no more qualified to determine the state of maintenance of the gear than I am. He might be an A&P by trade, either way he actually does see real airplanes on a day to day basis, dumbass. In any case it really doesn't matter to the people reading this does it. It might. GA aircraft suffer far more incidents and accidents than commercial airliners. One reason is less rigorous maintenance. It's important to make it clear that much of the additional risk of flying in GA aircraft is avoidable, and very often GA accidents are avoidable instances of simple carelessness (or recklessness) on the part of flight crews or aircraft owners.

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Gary writes: Lets see...he's an aviation professional, running the local airport where the aircraft was based. He'd know the aircraft owner, and all the A&P's at the field. As airport manager, I guarantee he's spoken to all of the parties involved, probably had a look at the plane and the maintenance records, and he may very well have been a witness to the landing. More importantly, you agree with him. I wish you would go to a medical forum and argue with doctors about symptoms and prognosis, it would be a damn hoot. You were 6000 miles away from the incident, you haven't left your apartment since, your only knowledge of the landing was what you read in the links posted above, you have no aviation background, and you've never been in a light plane or seen a maintenance log. More importantly, you disagree with me. He's more qualified to determine the state of maintenance. More importantly, you assume that anyone who agrees with you is more qualified. I'm nominating you for the Usenet Idiot Savant award. --------------------------------------------- DW |

I usually agree with people who know what they are talking about, so there isn't much to argue about with doctors. With non-doctors, on the other hand, there's often a lot to discuss. Medicine is filled with urban legends. Interestingly, one way to recognize true experts (in medicine or anything else) is that they will occasionally say "I don't know," if they don't know. Non-experts trying to pass themselves off as experts are very afraid to ever say this, lest their cover be blown. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
