What’s Up? After re-fitting the pool’s heater/chiller a few months ago, and installing a new filter system more recently, the only thing left to fail was the pump. I cannot say that anymore. The pool was a balmy 86 degrees last week, but I was at DeSoto when the pump failed and with a mild cold front over the weekend the pool was down eleven degrees by Tuesday. This morning it was down to 73! I opted not to swim yesterday and will not be swimming today. Pool Works is coming first thing in t...

Designed, if it was software, that caused the issue. that system we have been talking about wasnt made public to pilots and in training manuals. normally it is a redundant system that activates something for the pilot. it took away control from the pilot. thats not typical of boeing. it is counterintuitive to pull back on the control wheel and airplane continues to want to head to the ground. it is very disturbing to me and im hoping that it was attempted or the attempt was made to try to recove...

Frequent. as you work into the world of automation, having the human being remain part of the loop. they need to know how the systems operates at least at a certain level so if they fail, they know what to do quickly. when the chips are down, thats when they get the airplane. a lot of times they have been flying around, not putting their hands on the instruments, the control wheel and their experience level flying the aircraft is not what it should be. theres a real automation trap that should b...

We are speculating. there are a lot of similar patterns to what happened with lion air in october. but at this point in time, its really hard until this investigation runs its course to really determine whether we have the same situation. now, if the pilots were, indeeds, facing what lion air pass theed, what happened is counterintuitive to pilots. if the airplane is pushing itself down, which may very well have been the situation, it just as a pilot, thats very disturbing to me and i want to co...

Airport. he can the control wheel all the way left and all the way back to right. thats when i said, ive got it. >> he wrestles the plane back to a wings level position. >> with the steering the aircraft started to roll over on its back and would have continued to roll over and dive into the ground except at that fact, al reached over and advanced the throttle on the right wind and retarded the throttle on the left wing and the asymmetric thrust picked the wing up slowly and steadied the aircraf...

Begins to vibrate and shutter. pilots determine the number two engine has failed. >> i began to realize how serious it was when i saw the flight crew come back, and they were trying to look out the windows, the passenger windows, just to observe what was going on with the physical condition of the airplane. and you could tell by looking at the flight crew that something serious was up. >> and as they go through the checklist, officer bill records, who was flying the plane, realized they had a mo...

Correction. more than likely if its not subtle the pilot is already on the control wheel as weve talked about before and disconnecting the auto pilot and attempting to control the airplane manually. >> gentlemen thank you so much. there are these two mysteries that remain what happened in the air and what happened on the surface of the sea. hopefully well get more answers in the coming days and minutes. up next hes the pilot that land ad u.s. airways plane on the hudson river, saving everyone ...

You dont have a lot of actual pressures versus a control wheel like you see in some of the boeings. like what happened as you talked about the copilot in air france and pulling back, kept the airplane in stall all the way down into the ocean. the captain could not feel that. they cant feel necessarily what the other pilot is doing with the joystick. led to a lot of confusion in that cockpit. sadly a very preventable accident. jon: as our viewers know a stall she is referring to when the wings ar...

Right, and less we-- and les di this normal job. demonstrate, tell us about the pictures well see? >> just a demonstration of hour cumbersome it can be in an emergency situation, if youve got a smoke/fire situation, even a situation where you have a decompression. that would be the same mask in either case. and you have to communicate through that mask. with a switch on the control wheel, and go through a checklist and your vision is limited, as it would be very even more limiteded by, by smoke,...
