Not specifically but suffice to say that even from inside another airplane it's clear that they're sometimes feeling like they're in over their heads.

Nice jab, Princess.
This stupid fucking stick and rudder pilot has an Engineering
Degree from Queen's University and 35 years of embedded
software development.
And I have never even once tried to land on the taxiway.
You?

Ahhh, the software engineers.
#1 Near airliner Crash due to faulty software design(777): Contributing safety factors – An anomaly existed in the component software hierarchy that allowed inputs from a known faulty accelerometer to be processed by the air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU) and used by the primary flight computer, autopilot and other aircraft systems. Other safety factors – The software anomaly was not detected in the original testing and certification of the ADIRU.
https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/24550/aai ... 22_001.pdf
#2 Near airliner crash due to faulty software design(A330):There was a limitation in the algorithm used by the A330/A340 flight control primary computers for processing angle of attack (AOA) data. This limitation meant that, in a very specific situation, multiple AOA spikes from only one of the three air data inertial reference units could result in a nose-down elevator command. [Significant safety issue] https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/3532398/ao2008070.pdf
The story of how the four bars saved the day here:

#3 A320 crash Bilbao: CAUSES: "The cause of the accident was the activation of the angle of attack protection system which, under a particular combination of vertical gusts and windshear and the simultaneous actions of both crew members on the sidesticks, not considered in the design, prevented the aeroplane from pitching up and flaring during the landing."

I just love this forum.
Just imagine how long these posts would last on Avcanada.
It is so refreshing to be part of a group that can express their thoughts so openly. :)
And so honestly. :)

Guys, guys, there's nothing that says you both can't be correct.

In my lifetime, I have observed and have been proud to
participate in the incredible technological advances that
have made aviation so much safer.
GPS. Kalman filter, anyone?
Massive Databases. Cheap memory storage, anyone?
Powerful processors to crunch the data. Huge, cheap reliable RAM.
Incredibly high-resolution, low power color displays. GPU, anyone?
ANR headsets.
The list goes on, and on, of fantastic technological
accomplishments, just in the cockpit.
And it's so cheap! You can get all that in a cheap
handheld!
[b]And in my lifetime, I have seen basic pilot skills[/b]
[b]deteriorate so much, it's virtually an emergency[/b]
[b]when the precious four bars don't have an ILS[/b]
[b]at the destination[/b].
Will they put it into the sea wall? Will they
land on the taxiway? Will they put it into the
water? Will they blow out the landing gear?
All of these things routinely happen when four
bars don't have an ILS, because they lack
basic pilot skills that they have been telling
me for decades, are obsolete.
I spent 25 years continuously instructing, trying
to improve basic pilot skills that have virtually
disappeared from the pilot population. And I
got shit on for it, because instructors are fucking
morons. Got that.
And I spent 35 years, writing the very best
embedded software I could. And I will admit
I was paid very well for it.
Moment of irony. Some people need irony
explained to them, because they lack the
mental ability to perceive it.
Rockie - self-proclaimed [u]God Of the Four Bar

used to tear me a new one, for wasting my
time writing embedded software, instead of
being a proud button-pushing heavy equipment
operator like him.
Fair enough.
Then some four-bar asshole here shits on me
because embedded software isn't up to his
standards.
Now, that's pretty funny.
Hey, four bar assholes, what about that job at
Airbus as Director of Software Engineering? The
recruiters wouldn't leave me alone, about that
job.
Now, you four bars are much smarter than I am,
so why don't you all fix the software? It pays a
lot better than pushing buttons, and you're at
home every night, and your wife isn't out fucking
some other guy.

I don't know Hedley. Maybe you are not the most knowledgable person on here and AvCanada. You unquestionably are up there. I have learned quite a few important things reading your posts, practical theories that improved my flying skills. So thanks.
I find it peculiar that everyone is often trying to pretend that all [insert stereotype here] are the same, "Yarg fourbars..." Even funnier when someone copies it and screws it up, "Taildragger pilots are worse at..." Yeah because doing something more difficult somehow makes the person doing it below those of us that don't, sure..
Something that is very odd is how you use the term, "tear me a new one."
That must happen in private messages or when guys drop by your hanger.
I write that because unfourtunately my obsessive personality causes me to read everything here and, all I have seen are pretty feeble attempts to pick on you.
It was pretty time consuming over at AvCanada, there was a lot of posts to wade through. Fourtunately since I pretty much don't fly anymore I might quit coming here.
Anyways, sorry to bother everyone carry on fighting. I guess it's fun or whatever.
