Amazing technology (Never thought I’d say that about a Micra)

Moggy

You say amazing technology, but is it? If you think of the advances in all things “technical” the one thing that hasn’t really progressed is the fuel efficiency of motor cars. In nearly 100 years all we have seen is cars burning on average 40-50mpg? This is a movement from what? 20-30mpg? It just isn’t ground breaking. All these modern hybrids like the Toyota Prius etc get no more to the gallon than my little Peugeot 206 1.4 HDI, where if driven steady I can get 70mpg.
It’s a conspiracy I tell ya, we probably do actually have the technology to get +100mpg cars but oil makes the world go round. What would happen if oil became as useless as the Arabs other abundant nature resource? Sand.

Al, I do that with all our rubbish. The only reason why lately is because our local government thinks it’s a good idea to give us 25 different rubbish bins to separate it all out. Where they think people have the room to store all these bins is anyone’s guess. Post Graduates with no life skills or experience making barmy decisions to justify their own existence me thinks.

Not today they haven’t, I went to the National Archives in Kew earlier and they were using 27L when I went past it at about 9am and 27R when I came home about 4:45pm
They were on Easterlies on Tues/Wed as I was flying into LGW all week and we were on Easterlies there with the wind most definitely East. This changed from Thurs onwards.

I drive from J14 (Falfield) to Exeter J29 and back every day for work. If I was on a certain duty on Friday I would have passed J25 at about the same time as it happened. Last Friday evening I did exactly that, and passed J25 about 20:30. Very sobering.

The first picture of the Air Atlantic/Cargolux 742 is absolutely stunning.

Trust me when I say there’s alot of fallacies contained in that report. The first and most damning is contained in the opening sentence. The plane did NOT try and take off, but let’s not let the truth get in the way of a dramatic story eh? :rolleyes:

There isn’t a bug on the forum. Every professional forum is exactly the same, you can view every page ever created on the commercial aviation forum by going to the bottom left of the forum where it says “Display Options”. Click the “From The” box and select “Beginning” from the options, the click “Show Threads”.

This topic is being discussed on the other thread now so this one is closed

It hasn’t disappeared, it is alive and well on page 4 of this forum.

Well no. Alot of us have been in the same conditions, the type of aircraft is largely irrelevant because my argument to Amiga is all about what it is like to operate in those kind of conditions, i.e. in a thunderstorm, in severe turbulence, in severe icing, whereas he is sat in his little armchair sipping soup in front the fire pretending he knows what it is like. If he has then fair play, but he has chosen to ignore this part of the argument because he most likely hasn’t.

Is there not standby instruments on the A330?

Most definitely. Yes it would come from the Alternate Pitot/Static Probe, which unfortunately would be susceptible to the same icing conditions as the other 2 probes. The Stby Pitot heater is most likely DC powered, whereas the primary pitot heaters will be AC powered. I’m not Airbus rated so it could be the other way around, but very unlikely.

The pitot heaters usually run very, very hot, if you touched them you’ll burn your hands, but it has been proven that in severe icing conditions this heat will eventually not be sufficient to stop the pitots from icing over.
So in all, not that strange that all sources would ice up, afterall they are all presented to the relative airflow.
