@AeroMedicine Good. A foolish and dangerous notion.

EU regulator backs away from allowing lone pilots to fly airliners. —Airlines want to cut the number of pilots to save money, while unions are opposed. The EU Aviation Safety Agency is in the middle.

Climate alarmists tell us that global warming is killing more and more people each year. ⚰️

Except, it isn't. 🤷‍♂️

The absolute number of deaths (decadal total) from extreme weather events has decreased by >96.2% since the 1920s, despite a 6.2 billion person increase in world population over that same time. So, even if there is a slight increase in heat-related deaths, it is masked by significant decreases in other weather-related deaths because of advancements in warning coordination. 📉

Any scientist who stokes fear and pretends that we cannot adapt to changes in climate, or at the very least use technology to overcome challenges, is just a silly person and should be ignored entirely.

Today, 11 years ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing 777-200ER (9M-MRO), disappeared, with 239 people aboard. Last seen over the Indian Ocean, its fate remains unknown despite extensive searches, making it aviation's greatest mystery.

Watch as technicians install @Starlink Wi-Fi on a @United E175. This jet is the airline's first to receive the service.

United says equipment installation takes around eight hours, roughly 10 times faster than other internet providers.

By the end of 2025, its entire two-class regional fleet will feature the service, with the carrier's first mainline jet expected to receive Starlink later this year.

New best angle video of YYZ Delta Airlines CRJ-900 DL4819 crash.

⚠️ Strong language, the kind of language you’d expect from someone who just crawled out of an airplane that somehow ended up upside down on the runway.

All 80 passengers and crew on board a Delta flight that crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport have been evacuated, according to the FAA.

New video obtained exclusively by @ABC shows survivors of the Delta plane crash in Toronto hanging upside down, strapped in their seats, after the plane flipped after crashing.

Flight radar data captured during the final moments of the CRJ approach revealed an unusually high vertical speed. https://t.co/JMzJ6XkzGL

It's wild that TMZ is the place that is bringing the answers to what happened with Delta 4819. Lands more or less level with right wheel touching down first. Right gear collapses, wing hits ground and snaps off, then we get the rollover. We're amazingly lucky that this wasn't worse.
ADS-B shows normal sink rates of ~500fpm, but measuring frames here makes it look more like 2000fpm.

I’m always quiet at first when an accident occurs because not enough data is available to make an informed assessment. After watching this short video it’s abundantly evident to me that the flying pilot did not properly flare the jet prior to touchdown causing the the right main landing gear to contact the runway with enough vertical velocity and horizontal shearing load (due to the crosswind at the time) to collapse it and the remaining horizontal momentum was enough to flip the aircraft over, shear the right wing off and cause the aircraft to end up inverted at the end of the crash sequence. It is a miracle that no one was killed. Now the question is why and how did this happen.

[Thenewarea51 @thenewarea51]

I find this picture interesting, videos we’ve seen doesn’t show a high sink rate of the -900 as it touched down in Toronto and it looks like the right main gear touched the ground before the wing. Did the right main gear collapse because it was faulty or side loading from a crosswind? Time will tell
