@MetsBooth needs to get busy on BlueSky.

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@ScottPresler Yeah, it was a real bust in Philadelphia. https://t.co/5s9XMvdbgi

Wow look at all that data

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@WilliamJMcGee Yeah, that’s not what the NTSB said.

BAD ADVICE FOR AIRPLANES AND HUMAN-RATED SPACECRAFT

@NTSB_Newsroom What is the status of determining more accurate altitude data on the tower’s display, which Member Inman said on 1Feb would be available the next day?

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@NTSB_Newsroom You could post the info on https://t.co/H0BLHeUrst

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@FredBra93439257 @Blue2Fishing @BillAckman Incorrect. PAT25 was transmitting Mode S transponder.

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@beausecurity @digijordan Army said it was from Belvoir, probably meaning it began the night there. Tracking data for the final leg shows it popping up north, near the American Legion Bridge and CIA (near, NOT departing from Langley) then flying south along the river until the collision.

Neil is one of the worst things to ever happen to scicomm. Just stop man

Equal transit theory is totally wrong

For starters, the air on the top of the wing *doesn't* reach the trailing edge at the same time as the air on the bottom

Also to generate enough lift to take off purely from this force, you'd need to be going supersonic (at which point the flow is totally different anyway)

[Nose @hondonose1313]

Neil thinks his lane is all the lanes, all the time, him only. Scott, your degree could be in Sanskrit; I'd still find your knowledge and analysis in many subject more compelling than Neil because you never fail to consider you could be wrong about something. Neil stopped learning a long time ago when he assumed he knew it all.

@zooppress Stop with the BS. “Shocking?” Blocked!

Congrats to the Starship team on IFT-3. As @SpaceX racks up more achievements, might consider ratcheting back the happy-face commentary. Grinning after video that raised Qs about structural/attitude-control integrity feels bogus. Serve info up straight. Ad astra

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

@OnDisasters Thanks for clarifying V-22 is NOT a helicopter. Rotorcraft, yes. Helo, no. Also, US DOD seems to be saying 8 SOB, one known dead.

@wayofftheres @Ford You can always count on @Ford

The “Accidents: The Current Which Lies Beneath” seminar includes sessions on AI in #aviationsafety, language factors in accidents, #cabinsafety and wet-runway #overruns. https://t.co/J6wt9n0PUh

“It’s so easy to blame human error,”@NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy says, kicking off #ISASI2023 in Nashville, a gathering of 330+ air safety investigators and guests from 41 countries.

[James T. McKenna @AirSafetyWriter]

“Human error is a symptom of a system that needs to be redesigned,” Homendy told the Int’l Society of Air Safety Investigators’ annual seminar. “We must seek out the factors behind why the human error occurred.”

Off to Nashville tomorrow for the International Society of Air Safety Investigators tomorrow until Thursday. I will not be wearing a suit in that heat.
