The maintenance Sergeant from Black Sheep Squadron?
Bravo!
You are correct, sir. And, for double points, can you tell @Autothrust Blue how Andy Mickin addressed the pilots when they broke his planes, or otherwise just pissed him off?

I've never really understood the hate torwards DFW. For an airspace and airport that big, it's really simple and easygoing to get in and get out. Sure, they aren't as aggressive as Chicago, but there is no need to be. The airport has a layout that doesn't create a cluster****, so why push the boundaries?

Top altitude is 10, any questions?

Besides the "college boy!" pilots he had to deal with?

Isn't it amazing how it's "my" airplane when I'm flying it, but "your" airplane when it's broken?Bravo!

On a more serious note, landing 13 is kind of a strange site picture. You come right over the top of the city and it always seems like a really steep approach, even when you are on a normal profile, due to the tall buildings directly under the final.

Whelp.........this beats any pax trying to drag their baggage/belongings with them on down the slide or stopping/standing next to the plane to take selfies. This idiot actually tried to use the lav during the damn evac. Listen at the 2:40 mark.
http://7online.com/news/laguardia-f...d-faellaci-talks-about-plane-accident/545970/
From another interview he did:
"After the plane stopped, Mr. Faellaci said, the pilot came into the cabin to give deplaning instructions.
“I had to go to the bathroom,” Mr. Faellaci said, “so I stood up and said, ‘Excuse me, sir, could I use the restroom?”
His request was declined."
Who needs evac instructions, I gotta go go. Good grief. Not only did he think that the crew was going to let him use the lav at at such moment, but he thinks they were also going to stand around and wait for him, apparently. Then he tells the story to several news outlets. lol

I've thought about the same thing lately with ride reoprts. One mans "light to mod chop" is another's "holy hell we need lower now". It'd be simple, every airplane gets a box full of accelerometers and other nerd stuff. It would be calibrated to each airframe to take into account things like wing loading. It gets downloaded as part of the ADS-B data and poof, we all know what the rides are like. We could even have a fancy chart that'd show realtime data. Maybe I'm a dreamer.

Didn't Delta have a MD88 incident at LGA in the 90s due to a pilot using the wrong type of glasses?

I always thought the AIM definitions were pretty straightforward.

They are. It's just people have their own way of describing it (which is well outside of the AIM definitions). If we're going to put all this uplink/downlink tech in transport airplanes, why not include some thing like that? Attach a numerical value to it, some thing every one can see. Image all the airplanes flying across the country and you can get real time ride data from each one. ATC wouldn't have to paint a broad picture of what the rides are like. They could say with certainty FL350 is crap, FL330 is smooooooth sailing. To be honest, I'm just tired of hearing all the ride report requests while I'm sitting at FL450 drinking my Dr. Pepper. I'm not do bothered with such nonsense.

Thats what we have installed in our fleet. The best part is being able to call dispatch all the way out by Dutch Harbor.

So, why haven't we heard about this? It's been installed since 2004. Is there a place where I can find a ride report chart? Or is it part of the magical Alaska next gen stuff that @ASpilot2be speaks of? Serious question, not trying to be a smart ass.

There are quite a few different airlines equipped with TAMDAR, its not just Alaska. I seem to recall Horizon, and I think TSA do as well. To be honest I am not sure who collects all the data.
