@JackLinFLL Exactly. I’m sorry for his loss but I’m just not sure what he expects FWC to do….some dangers are so obvious that the idea of a warning sign is a little laughable.
@brent_shavnore@eugyppius1@thefierypatriot Be honest with yourself. In the heat of the moment, nobody but us avgeek autists is thinking “seems like a textbook compressor stall.”
@TonyLaneNV It comes down to whether or not she informed the airline in advance. If she did, and they told her she’d be accommodated, it’s on them. If she didn’t, it’s on her, and she should have disembarked without argument.
@372333N1158083W@abc7chriscristi The DC midair collision was caused, in part, by (very longstanding) insufficient oversight and regulation of the mixed airspace surrounding DCA. This area is thought to be another hot zone when we talk about where the next big collision will occur.
59 seconds… that’s how long the crew of Flight 5342 would’ve had to avert a collision had the aircraft been equipped with ADS-B In. Since 1967, we’ve investigated numerous midair collisions involving commercial and general aviation aircraft. How many more people have to die before meaningful action is taken to prevent tragedy? @famofflight5342
@EmirUdovcic@SurfGameWavy@marxistmomm@LaramieRat@TheWapplehouse Yes….I know. I was responding to the original point that the homeowner may not want to get sued if the guy became injured on her property, and then to the subsequent (incorrect) point that recovery through comp would be his only option. Subrogation isn’t relevant here.
@Turbinetraveler@AircrewBuzz Who cares if this is old? Today’s pilots would be well served to follow this PIC’s example. Frankly I wish the pilots of AA5342 had done the same.
