Tilted full down all the radar would paint would be the ground/water. Radar can only read a energy emitted by the excitation of particles in the air (water droplets) as they are hit by the high energy radiation of the radar dish. With nothing to excit there will nothing for the radar to read. So in clear air there is no hope that a radar can detect rapid changes in air velocity ahead. Now there are some radars that can detect turbulance in precipitation since there is something for the radar energy to hit.

The biggest tragedy has to be being associated with Mesa Airlines run by that loser Ornstein. Best of luck to ACA/Independance air! We should be seeing them in action in only a few months now.

Closest airport: Cessna 172’s
Closest major airport: EMB-145 or 737 depending on the time of day.

To be honest I was just thinking of fuselage strakes that are found on Lears, King Air’s and now the 145. I passed over the whole point of this thread which was those found on the A320 family. Oops. So I’ll follow that up by saying “yeah, what Steve said.” 🙂

Thanks, I might just do that. 🙂

What’s are the differences between the Yak-9 and Yak-3? I’ve only seen pictures of both but they look very, very similar.

As far as I know strakes are used for deep stall stability/recovery usually found at high angles of attack. Specifically they are needed during certain CG configurations. I know on the EMB-145 when they added the center fuel tank that they became a requirement.

I would then assume that the Airbus fleet have them in place to help with those same stall characteristics or stability at high angles of attack due to probable CG conditions.

I might have to look out for those. 🙂

Wow, that’s an outstanding group of photos. Nothing like sharing an experience through pictures. That Twin Otter operation looks like it would be a blast to be a pilot for.

I don’t know how I missed this thread the first time but your drawing looks great Bmused55. Nice to see that even the smaller aircraft get some attention from time to time. 😀

Congrats on the cover. Where did they get your picture from? Was it downloaded from an online database or other method?

I haven’t bid for the PSP overnights but it’s a good one from what I’ve been told. A recent captain I flew with was out there all last month just to take advantage of the golf.

We’re back to driving snow showers here so perhaps I’ll look for those PSP trips next month. 🙂

Thanks for the kudos.

I’m curious how new that 717 was. Look how clean the nose gear looks. That plane hasn’t been in service that long.
