the A380 performed well today, besides some minor glitches the pilot reported, the airplane handled well during the flight and all its systems worked fined.
If anyone knows, what were these so-called "glitches"????? :?

Another thing, I don't think Continental has 772LR on order, but that could change soon though. I doubt Continental would need the extra range of the 772LR. Especially if they get authorization from the FAA to fly Polar routes. Unless they start some sort of IAH-Sydney route..... Ultimately, Contin...

Are pilots actually stupid enough to fly THROUGH thunderstorms over there?!?!?!! My only experience with a sickness bag was when I was already sick from food-poisoning and had to fly the morning after. I reached for it, but fortunately didn't have to use it. Oddly enough, someone told me once that G...

Duty Hour Limitations

I have a question for anyone who knows the FAR's really well. What are the duty-hour limitations for pilots in any day, week, month, year?? Notice: I'm asking for duty hours, not flight hours. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. :D

That would be interesting to see an Air Force One replacement. Then they could use the ones that they have now as backups and ditch the 707's. :wink:

8O Jesus!! I can't believe they didn't lose hydraulics on the left wing!! That damage looked devastating. Any word on the whole situation and how it all happened?? The aircraft is definitely a write-off, BUT, it's only the -200. :wink:

Here's another one for you: imagine <enter your least-favourite airplane manufacturer here> would modify their FBW systems so you don't have to use the rudder at all.

However, it is the drag which the engines have to overcome. Obviously, an airplane has to create lift to match its weight... the less drag, the less cruise thrust needed.
Very true. Any aeronautical engineers out there that can help us out????

Requiring less skill means that the pilots do not need to understand why they cannot operate in certain regions of flight. Are you honestly telling me that you would prefer to have less skilled pilots?!?!?!!? If the pilots do not understand the complexities of operating aircraft in certain condition...
