Re: BRITSIM

Alex,
One seems to be able to get there, but I have found (Dave also) that on the 3rd click, if trying to answer a forum question for example, one gets redirected & if you do get that it changes its address each time!

BRITSIM

Sorry Guys & Girls, but it looks as if Britsims been hacked yet again!
One gets redirected to an apps site!
I have been free of this until today & Dave Moly is also affected.
Have not heard from the Happy Otter for ages, so presumably he has got more fish (or Squirrels?) to fly!

Re: Typhoon warning

There was a situation at Llanbedr quite a few years ago where a Jindivik fell short of the runway on landing & hit a parked car with its occupants in it. As it was outside of the airfield boundary all that could be done was to place warning notices, there was no authority to do any more!

Interesting programme on UK TV Channel 4 last night ' Terror in the skies' - showed problems with modern 'puter systems & for me the telling thing was the very bad presentation of airspeed on the MFD! (Turkish crash at Amsterdam 1 mile short of runway). I'm used to analogue dials of reasonable s...

Re: Asiana Crash Landing San Francisco

How many times a manual landing though as opposed to an auto one? Reliant too much on automation - both of them though? Bad crew co-operation syndrome? Also tired after a long flight? Otherwise the very difficult to prove fuel icing situation? Does the ASI recording match the radar speed I wonder? K...
