@TomMcW on DSL? restart the router for a fresh IP, i didn't click on it but ran a trace, it's somewhere in the US, it's either phishing or mapping for the users or worse
@ymb1 It said it was new. They seem too be re-doing old accidents. They did one on Tenerife, which I'm sure they did before. But this one had different actors and narrative
@ymb1 It's actually "Air Disasters" on Smithsonian Channel. They release the episodes in a different sequence than the original. Not sure why they do it that way
The Weather Channel also has a show called "Why Planes Crash" which is narrated by Lester Holt. It is edited together using footage and interviews, etc from Mayday, but with three incidents per episode. They're making the most of it
@ymb1 thanks for the reference I understood it now 👍😊. Just trying to find a reference now whether rudder blanking affects wing mounted engines. Any ideas?
@Federico I think if someone thinks that they're safe from the law just by posting something in a private facebook group, they're probably not clever enough to hide their personal information. So if someone puts in the effort, I would like to think that a conviction should not be difficult.
I wonder how much they'll advertise a conviction though. I think copycat behaviour is inspired even by convictions.
I suppose it would get real interesting if the drone controller were sued in a private case, just for the cost of a go-around.
@ymb1: "In your answer: "nations are free to deviate within reason of course", you may add if they deviate, they must indicate how in the section GEN 1.7 of their AIP.
E.g. for US AIP, page 121: "The U.S. uses the terms “Traffic Control Center”, “Radar Approach Control Facility”, and “Tower” to define a facility that provides air traffic control service to aircraft operating on ...".
@mins this is nice thank you, does the AIP list the suffixes?
@mins I believe one of the ICAO SARP appendixes lists the deviations, I'll see if I can find which and provide an example
@mins the reason I'm hesitant is this aviation.stackexchange.com/q/47867/14897 where I was completely ignored 😂 the AIP's I looked into did not mention the actual call-sign used by e.g. the Netherlands, and it was the same OP asking, so I don't want to send them off on a goose chase
I did find an ICAO webpage / database that lists the names for avionics (I suspect), but again was the formal AIP name, and not the actual. Actual as in when a private (?) entity provides the ATC service on behalf of multiple nations, like Maastricht control--I'll try to find it again, perhaps the suffix was there
that was few days back
@mins (above) can be a bit confusing, couldn't find a pure suffix in the AIP
