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

The early E145s that made up just a handful of the Coex fleet had some payload issues, basically EWR-RDU-distant alternate fully loaded was probably not going to happen. You'd plug the numbers into the ACARS and it'd tell you basically NO until you figured out what numbers would work then it'd SEND.

read that real slow.

Taxi fuel was subjective. :D

IMHO, Boeing should have known better than to use a single valve to control the PCU on the most powerful flight control surface on the jet. They deflected litigation towards Parker Hannifin, but the source of the design was Boeing.

Anything and everything that is subjected to the stresses of flight eventually fails. Designs have to be fault tolerant. The original design wasn't.

Yeah.. I know all that. My post was more of an agreement with VV

The government won't do that. In the mid 90's, the 737 should have and deserved to be grounded due to a faulty rudder. That would have grounded everyone's favorite low cost carrier (yes they were a lcc back then). It didn't happen.

80, you are absolved! Now I have to explain to my wife about underboob, sideboob, and topboob. Lucky for me she is a good sport.

So that's where the term 'cholesterol jet' comes from. Your clogging everything up!!! :D:D

Only if you're cruising at FL 260! But then, who do you think told us we have to fly slow?

Graphical Depictions better than mathematical depictions?
