any pilot's here?

[Guest limpeiwah]

why not me and newbie?

[tooned]

well.. wat i saw was in the papers.. no comments..

 

does anyone have the article? i can't seem to find it online.

did it overrun or veer off the runway?

seems a little hard for it to overrun the runway unless the student was aiming to land at the last 1/4.

 

always sad to hear things like that.

 

do a proper strap in and fly safe!!

[sylvestercat]

i read it as over run the runway.

[retro]

veer off.....

[Guest limpeiwah]

bike can buang plane also can buang

[danielsin2]

bike buang u suay u die.. plane buang u pay for damages till die.. haha

[tooned]

veer off.....

 

makes more sense now. is the pilot okay? reminded me of the flipping incident happened to one of the first solo student in pearce. thank goodness for 5 point harness in the s211, the student walked away without any injury other than a bruised ego.

the FO doing landing for SQ37 this morning was quite bad. landing tilted portside a lot. lucky got it under controlled if not wouldve spinned or flipped :S

 

thot SQ well known for smooth landing leh... heh... sure affect his performance bonus no doubt

hmm..... crosswind??

[Guest limpeiwah]

no crash no complain i think he'll be fine

[moccajava]

i dunno. it was stable all along... started tilting one side when one of the wheel touched the ground... bit senget maybe... jz glad im ok. cudve been bad.

[Guest limpeiwah]

no lah senget means either tyre near limit (Sia very strict on tyres) or raining (last night got one kind of rain on east singapore)

 

pilot error shouldn't be cos the plane got traction stabilizer (computer controlled)

23:16:43 CAM-3 Ok -thrust ref toga toga

23:16:43 CAM-2 Thrust ref toga toga

23:16:44 CAM-1 Ok -thrust ref toga toga

23:16:44 CAM (Sound similar to that of engines spooling up)

 

 

Pilots pls tell me what is 'toga toga'. thanks.

[sunnyday]

oh...

 

if im not mistaken, there is this TO/GA around the thrust levers. but what is the function of it?

 

'go around' is when the tower asks the pilot to abort final landing and go around, correct?

[sylvestercat]

TOGA is like stepping on the accelerator of a car fully, gives u full power. And yes, go around means u abort the present landing and go around for another try.

[moccajava]

hehe u pilots have so many abbreviations swimming in your heads!

Well, wait till you see this:

 

 

The pilot was crabbing his 747 to align it to the runway.

And yes, pilots have to be trained to do that...

 

By the way, Sunny sillypore has been windy nowadays...maybe it's probably the monsoon period

[hydrop]

WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR (1-15 DECEMBER 2007)

 

The Northeast Monsoon has onset over Singapore during the last few days of November 2007. Weak to moderate Northeast Monsoon wind condition is expected to continue prevailing during the next fortnight.

 

During this period, Singapore should generally be windy. Short duration showers with thunder are expected on 5 to 7 days, mainly in the afternoon and early evening. In addition, widespread intermittent rain could also occur on 1 to 3 days, arising from surges of moist and unstable Northeast Monsoon wind to the region.

[redbeacon]

The power of Google (and the past knowledge of reading METARs) brings you this:

031212 means the weather forecast is valid from 3rd of this month, from 1200hrs, to next day 1200hrs
