Alaska landing incident SNA

alaskadrifter said:
The only time I tried AB MAX was on a certain runway in SW AK that has been half width all summer. The winds were bumping up against the x-wind limit for said runway so in the brief we decided to try max. Boy did that get my attention! It was nothing like the sim, it was so aggressive that I couldn’t over ride it with the brakes. The CA reached up and deactivated it for me. But I did clear the runway before the gravel crosswind strip. :bounce:

Yeah it was reported braking action poor. The numbers barely worked. The State guys working the runway must have really wanted their Amazon packages because they got it to 3. On the RNP which is pretty complex, the State guys asked us to slow down so they could get another pass in. They did a great job and ABMax was not remotely necessary but it was a conservative approach to what started as really dynamic runway performance problem. I wasn’t about to F with WRG on a pretty wild day. The freighter sealed the deal. Why not? It’s not like anyone is going to complain.

I miss flying with the captain on that trip. He was a true baller. One of our best.

Ease on the brake pedals while slowly stowing the speed brake between 90-80 knots.

Hella smooth.

It’s also totally allowed at my shop to reach up and switch the auto-brakes to 2, 1 or OFF from 3. I don’t know why they aren’t trained in something that is procedural for the MAX.

Of course when I asked about using the AB like that at the schoolhouse the instructor said it was dangerous. Even though it’s authorized in the FH.

Not the 737, but I hate when the other guy calls for an adjustment on the auto brakes on roll out, but only because they can be in 4 different places depending on which airline ordered the plane from Boeing.
 
The only smooth airline pilots with finesse I have ever met are the ones that use to fly the owner of the plane and the signer of the check regularly.

The majority of em lost it a long time ago.

Subway is not sanitary. I remember when they first started popping up, as a kid I'd had a submarine sandwich (usually 6' long at some sort of gathering) or a hoagie/grinder from some deli when out on an adventure with my dad. I actually remember the first time I had a subway sandwich, I was confused regarding the name until I saw the pictures of NY subways on the wall. For a long time Subway was not horrible, it was decent food for a reasonable price. The quality sucks now compared to how it was and I understand the hate, but that's what happens with franchises. You know who doesn't do franchises?

We had a Learjet that had to get the throttle quadrant replaced because the pin to let you go past idle reverse wouldn’t pull out of the way. I can’t prove it but I theorize that people yeeting against that pin as soon as they had WOW bent and jammed it.

Probably landed in PAKW on a "calm" day

I mean, the 737’s gear is robust…I have first hand experience with this…but Dayum

Also, post failure for not including “Oh Alaska” in the title

Let's talk about kosher. Why do you think it's a thing? Why would someone (a religious leader) back in the long, long, long ago tell their followers what was okay to eat? I've posted that I got the J&J jab but you've already decided that I'm an anti-vaxxer. You are a clown, but you're not funny or scary, you're like Ronald McDonald, a perfectly engineered customer. That reminds me, I haven't done my annual Big Mac meal or my McRib this year. I'm tempted but I know I'll feel like crap later, what should I do? I've heard Big Macs are over $7.00 now, that's not much of a dent but the I think the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'll just call Dominos.

You don't know the WHY of Kosher? Really?!? How about Halal?

Did you ever consider that Kosher and Halal are virtually IDENTICAL? Did you ever consider WHY that might be? Did you ever consider that both those tribal codes evolved and got transmitted from leaders leading people who were, save for pendant-presentation tribal affiliation, were virtually IDENTICAL and who ALL lived in the same geography at the time at which those codes were created?

I'll leave those questions to your big brain, Ace. One page essay. Due Tomorrow at the beginning of class.

You overthinking verbose •. I was talking about the food, you instantly jump to different religions. Let's talk about the food. I enjoy Kosher and Halal food. I believe both came from some the same place, I think life was pretty rough back then and people that were enslaved would eat just about anything and die. Because we're a social animal and construct hierarchies we end up with leaders. If all of the leaders people are dying because they're eating rotten scraps they will tell them to not do that. I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding this subject. I'm not a big lobster/crab fan but I will get down with a pork chop.
