Southwest tries to redecorate LGA tower

[derg]

“With as little as.”

I don’t buy that they came within 67’. You don’t come within a wing length of a building, close enough to see their coffee mugs and then ask “why’d u make us go around??”

I'm not saying this is what happened, but it's certainly… plausible.

Those winds get crazy on 4 as you get low.

Yeah. The winds are 31 are always kindhearted and retiring. 13 winds are baneful and minatory. And 22 winds will almost always take you over New Jersey on the miss... Horrifying!!!

It's officially a maneuver, in our Maneuvers Validation every year. You have to show a takeoff to a RNAV SID. Easy and boring, but has to be demonstrated.


(At least at our shop)






And no, still no flaps 2

Wait! What? I have to manually make my aircraft do what I intend it to do, even if ONLY by hand?? I think I need to retire or go fly a push-button plane. This business is getting out of control.

Makes me wonder if they were getting FD bias because of the winds and didn't realize they were off the LOC...

Needles tell you the truth of your alignment. Act accordingly. And back up your assist. Redundancy is the heart of aviation.

Signs and wonders!...It's not the one thing. It's the tide. It's the dismal tide.

Try it on the NEO, minimal breakaway thrust.

Just as a followup, tried it on a 321NEO…
