No, we are obliged to wear at least our lap restraint while in the seat. I personally don’t understand what the benefit of taking it off is…leave it loosely around you and you don’t know it’s there.
I find it absolutely remarkable that a prefessional body such as key publishing can provide a facility in their own name for anybody to write what they wish and are completely unbothered about possible litigation! I had often wondered if webby observes without commenting but I think it’s now fairly apparent that they don’t watch at all. All the more reason for them to appoint some form of control.
Still waiting…………………….
OK but not here.
Nobody said all long fuselages have to have them, just some. They tend to be added as a retrofit to the initial design to cure problems found during flight testing. Sometimes you will find strakes on aircraft registered to one authority which are not required on aircraft registered to another due to differing airwortiness requirements.
It is also worth mentioning that some radio equipment uses blade antennas which could be confused for being a small strake.
I am. the reason I asked the webmaster to respond was to see if there actually is ANY moderation (or monitoring) taking place and clearly there is not.
Webmaster, would you please put a post on this thread within 24 hours to show us you monitor these forums.
Yes, that’s what I was trying to say. There are many learned people involved in this project who would have pulled the plug long ago if it was not viable.
We were referring to rear fuselage mounted strakes but Matthew was talking about the strakes that appear on engine cowlings on CFM engines towards the upper inner region.

sorry LBARules i just said that i think it is kind of good
…and you have every right to express your opinion.
Webmaster, would you please respond and let us know your viewpoint.
I don’t think we really need to worry too much about whether it’s safe or not. They have had to jump through one or two fairly stringent hoops so far! Fortunately they mostly don’t allow idiots to do aviation engineering!
so was I so…ditto!
Absolutely fascinating!
Do the Twotters have to undergo any specific anti-corrosion treatment bearing in mind the salt water proximity?
Regular active moderators would be the absolute answer to the problem however whenever the subject comes up Key Publishing don’t seem to want to know. It’s a shame really because this place has the potential to be absolutely fantastic. I believe it could be better than PPRuNe and yet available to pilots and non-pilots in equal measure.
Quote – ‘You can post 2 brilliant posts or 4000 bad posts’ That sums it up perfectly. The number of posts bears absolutely no relation to knowing alot, it’s what you say that shows knowledge.
Duess – I was delighted to see your post. It’s a shame it doesn’t look like it’s going to come to fruition. Pity. I think Bhoys post was a response to EAL kings idea about registering. I think it is most important that the registration process stays in place.
While I agree with the theory I don’t think that would necessarily be the case on the Airbus. The reason would be the same as that for not fitting stick shakers – the software will not allow the aircraft to get into the situation in the first place. Perhaps Spotty M can post on this subject as I’m only guessing as I haven’t done my course yet!
How is your PPL progressing Robert?
