When you word it like that I can see where I went wrong. They (NI) are UK but not GB whereas the Channel Islands are GB but not UK! Confusing eh?

Here’s another from a few moments later.

Also here’s one that didn’t work out too well. We were at FL380 and overtook this Hawker(?) at FL400. Whatever it is it was very slow.

But I thought Andrew was from Northern Ireland. Isn’t that Britain (but not UK), just like the Channel Islands?

Yes, RVSM has been available across the Atlantic for quite a few years now. It came in over Canada and the US a few nonths ago which has made getting the best level for the whole journey much better.

I prefer things a bit more classical such as British Imperial or British Colonial.

The elevators on the MD-80 series are not powered, but rather of the servo tab variety. This means that they are free to flap with the wind on the ground, and are moved in flight by the servo tab increasing or decreasing the lift on that surface..moving the elevator up or down and again controlling the aircraft.

The control checks on the MD-80 series elevators apparently needs to be done at a minimun taxi speed of 10-15kts.

Was that the same as the 707?

It could be that the hydraulics push the surface against the airflow while the airflow is useds to return it.
