how often does a jet-liner stall, then recover? to narrow it down, when was the last time it's happened (genuine curiosity)
 
12:54 AM
@ymb1 last time a jetliner had a stall-then-not-a-crash I know of was the Jazz CRJ that stalled a wing 10' above the landing runway due to icing back in January
 
1:05 AM
anything... higher? :D
 
@ymb1 not sure. most of the time, the aircraft gets recovered at shaker
 
shaker would do
 
last stickshaker was back in 2017
 
there were a few of those then
found this one though, which is probably indicative of an actual stall: avherald.com/h?article=487ffab8/0003&opt=0

> recovered at 25 meters AGL
good thing it did

no fix was needed :P
we just got the 201st question with the tag, triggering the condition for the badge to be awarded
 
oooohhh
 
well now I wish I'd been answering all these silly MCAS questions instead of VTCing them as duplicates of each other :-p
 
anyone would like to comment on this? aviation.stackexchange.com/posts/44127/revisions do you think that the edit makes it an answer to the question?
 
it doesn't IMO, the post is a related question, it's now become low-quality
 
10:28 AM
agreed, this doesn't answer the question
"why don't they?" "I had an idea of something they could do"
 
ok, thank you
 
I've been seeing this a lot, review voters mistaking LQ flag for NAA, LQ is LQ, no need up-voting it and choosing looks ok, only makes the reviewers job harder and eventually it's deleted anyway
it's not a new phenomenon though

@Federico is this post showing as -5 to you aviation.stackexchange.com/a/61132/14897 ? I'm 100% sure it was 0 before I DV'ed it to give it the final VTD, so it should be -1, but all of a sudden it became -5 (bug or someone flagged spam/rude or caching issue?)
 
-5 and no spam flags
and I remember it being -2 a few hours ago

does the regulatory term 'transition training' apply only to different aircraft, saying moving from a Cessna 172 to a 182, or can it also apply to right>left seat transition?
the verbatim is:
> (2) Transition training. The training required for crewmembers who have qualified and served in the same capacity on another aircraft.
 
I think that "in the same capacity" is the answer you are looking for

Q: Do we have posts that would be worth advertising?

FedericoIn the aim of bringing more people to SE, the powers that be have decided to revitalize the main SE twitter account. They then asked us mods to propose questions from our sites that might be worthy of being shared by said accounts. Ideally these posts show how we work and the knowledge we can s...

Anybody know where to find info on how the L-1011 stall warning system worked? I remember reading that they used something different than the usual AoA vanes, but I can't find anywhere that explains what it was.
Never mind. I found it in an NTSB report.
 
6:30 PM
so how did it work? or are you writing it up as a self-answered question?

@DanHulme It's an oddball system. Seems overly complex. I wrote up a question on it, because I can't figure out why they used it instead of a vane
Maybe somebody knows why.
It played a part in the TWA 843 crash. That's the plane that was still sitting completely roasted off the end of 13R at JFK when the plane I was on landed on 31R

anyone willing to help find a proper title for this question: aviation.stackexchange.com/q/58798/14897 ? it's built on wrong premises (inadvertently asking diff things) and I can't figure which to use for the title
@TomMcW that's interesting, any photo to go with the question? I'll try to look into it -- all I know is Lockheed spent a lot on the R&D
 
11:48 PM
@ymb1 I gave it a shot.
