Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I'm looking at the FDR graph now and it shows an altitude of about 1,900 feet AGL and about 185 knots groundspeed at 4NM from touchdown. The graph doesn't show gear and flap position though.

If I remember correctly from pulling the sfo atis after getting the dispatcher email, the wind was 7 kts.

At 185 in a 777 er, the max flaps is 20 to be in limits (from memory, I use the placard) with the gear down. He still had flaps 25 and 30 to go at 4 miles and 1900 feet. Not able to be stabilized by dal criteria.

I keep clicking on the Login button and nothing happens. Must be a faulty 787 in that picture.

Wait, no youtube video of a dancing Star Wars storm trooper?

I shouldn't have programmed this with the FMS...

I think it's working, click on it again. Its one of those try not to laugh videos. better than just another Rick Roll.

2 777s
10 A330s
And 30 a 321s

Or will we be parking a higher number of 757s:eek:

If we announce another firkin code share I think I will...

I want all of the above except the 757 part.

FWIW....the most recent A320 Flywire made this statement, "Hopefully, the next time we talk about tail strike prevention is in preparation for A321 deliveries!" At least it didn't come from SD. If info flows from SD I simply throw it in the trash.

Carl,
I had to fix my post because I am assuming he had the gear down at 4 miles and it was what I meant but didn't type earlier.

Another really bad thing to speculate about is how many of the cockpit crew will end up in a Korean prison. Eveything
I've seen or heard in the press/media from Asiana management has really been detrimental to the cockpit crew.

There is the possibility of a BA type of malfunction.

As per the NTSB briefing this morning, I'd say that's pretty well ruled out.

As they slowed to below 110 knots, the TLs were advanced and N1 increased to around 50%.

Not exactly enough to get the job done...

I haven't seen any of the news on the topic. No tv at the beach, just movies and the Internet. The Internet stuff is verrrry surfacy. Except here.

Does Asiana have any type of a Pilot Union to help these guys deal with the aftermath?

I just heard on the news that the NTSB has "...only spoken with part of the crew, and has not spoken with the pilot flying yet."

Is he even still in the USA? Or has he (they) been whisked away, back to Korea?
