I've always thought this video shows a pilot handling an in flight distraction well.

A purrfect example of a CAT I approach.

They found the crew door:
Door from plane that crashed in Londonderry found in Manchester yard
A door from the plane that crashed in a Londonderry neighborhood on Friday fell off prior to crashing and was found in a Manchester yard.www.wmur.com
I hope they halt production of the 99 MAX until they figure this out...

Anyone else remember Bax Seat and his article/piece he wrote about tossing cats out the airplane at some country airport somewhere, and the hell he caught for it? IIRC, they did it at 100’ increments, and it wasn’t until 1200’ that they killed or maimed one. Musta been one hell of an afternoon…

He seems like he might be looking for plausible deniability on the demise of that cat.
Maybe it has been squirting in his plane, and that ride along spared it the use of one more of the 9

Amazing it wasn’t there before! And then BAM! There it is! Oh well, finding humor in the corners…

That is the most New Hampshire comment ever…

GUYSH! GUYSH! GUYSH!
"You look out, and you say, 'That's not normal.' And then I said I need to call the police, and then I called the police," Cote told News 9.

FLIPY FLAPS!
Man, anyone here lost a door in a 99? I never did, but people said it was distracting but not catastrophic? But I don't know how that would be in IMC with rain and snow pelting the crap out of you? I wonder if he straight up couldn't see the instruments or something? Any wild speculation now that they found the door?

I had never heard of doors departing if they opened either. We had several open over the years at AMF but never depart the airplane. I never had one fully open but I had a latch open a time or two.

Really? It was 50-50 theyd depart with us. Granted the AMF 99s I saw usually had the door replacement (for ones previously departed) already, and THOSE specific ones usually just fold over.
On the level…how many times did you think “I bet I could close it!” Before you finally admitted it was a dumb idea and didnt attempt
. I know with me, 1 maybe 2 times i found myself pondering that, and then id go full paranoia and use one shoulder harness and/or my belt to “tie it closed” haha

If you happen to find this thread…
1) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESECURE THE DOOR IN FLIGHT….one latch will hold
If the door goes:
(Chances are, it will take your headset with it, or just break it into pieces…learn how to turn on the loudspeaker by feel, and check to see your hand mic is where it should be …left calf sidewall pouch)
2) it will be cold, crazy, and louder than all hell…lean in close (like your on a crotch rocket), sqwk 76, and just chill for a minute and figure stuff out.
3) file nasa/asap
4) tell the guys you mentor to LEAVE THE DOOR ALONE…ONE LATCH HOLDS…
