Istanbul-Atatürk International Airport, Turkey - 13 May 2018

Easy tiger. (or was that an asian joke?)

Asiana still has a PIC is god cultural issue that is pretty well documented. The FO was most likely fully qualified. The question is, did the captain listen to them if they called out the TK tail.

One of the Malcom Gladwell books I read spoke to the culture at Korean or (Asian) airlines. You do not question the captain, regardless. Interesting yet troubling cultural aspect given the industry....
If it was Outliers then it was KLM.

Wonder how they fix that?

Does the entire aft section need to be replaced of can you simply mount a new vertical piece?

Assume the manufacture would need to do the repair or at least over see it?

That aircraft will be off the line for a really long time.
It’ll buff out
 
Was there ever any proof that anyone wasn't qualified to be in the seat they were in?

Because if not, I'd be happy to never hear what amounts to asian driver jokes ever again.

It has nothing to do with racism and everything to with the Korean culture's difficulty with CRM.

We see similar trends in our cross training with military aviators as well.

Not to say the timid “can’t call out the boss” attitude doesn’t exist in all cultures. It just really becomes popular in certain others.

At a good angle? We can see the wing on the whale, but only if you’re pretty flexible and even then, at that angle I probably wouldn’t be able to tell you if we’re gonna hit anything.

Fairly easily. The 320s, shoot, you almost assess ice like do on a 1900. Look over your left shoulder and "crack 'em". :)
 
I've stopped this kind of thing from happening several times. Every time the flag on the offending airplane was French or Asian(never Philippines or Hong Kong carriers, because English).
 
You have a hot wing, you don't get to complain about ice in between chimes for coffee top offs. ;)
So I don't know if the bus is similar, but our hot wing only works when the slats are retracted. That is to say it only works when you don't need it.
We operate on the, it's a big fat wing and you have a lot of power theory of icing.

What do you fly? :ooh:
Airbus works either way - but no empennage anti ice

I saw a similar repair to a smaller airframe...they jigged the whole aft fuselage and torqued the fuselage back into alignment.

Something this size? Bet they (Airbus) cut the fuselage off at the rear pressure bulkhead and replace it.

Then every crew that flies it gets to wonder if Airbus does a better job at bulkhead repairs than Boeing.

I wonder....

So there are a few tails in the helicopter fleet that have been hit with an RPG or similar system in the tail. 60s especially. Manufacturer does a repair from a bulkhead back and puts it back in rotation. Whether or not that aircraft flies better or worse is pretty much tail to tail dependent. I know there is an AF 60G that’s been hit twice in nearly the same spot. Apparently it flew better after the first one and worse after the second.


I wonder if this plane is gonna be somewhere in the future with an FO frantically trying and a Cpt mad as hell that he/she can’t keep it in trim to save their lives.
