So that would include the aircraft involved in 9/11
Another one of your bizzare assumptions. That's rather like saying 'My computer cannot possibly utilise Windows Update/be hacked because it's got a serial port'. Which would be a stupid thing to assume.WouldBe said:So NOT upgradeable via radio.
The MCP (Mode Control Panel) is there to provide an interface for the flight crew. It's the panel with the buttons on.WouldBe said:Notice the requirement for a MCP as well to be able to input flight data into the FCS. So doesn't look like the flight plan can be updated by radio either.
laptop said:Having seen how gabby - and how fiercely defensive of their professional autonomy - pilots are on (for example) www.pprune.org, it really does seem rather unlikely that any remote-control system would have gone unexposed for more than... ooh, three minutes at most...
Backatcha Bandit said:There's a poster here who's old man took early retirement (737 pilot for a major UK airline) because he apparently didn't feel 'comfortable' with what he saw as a threat to his 'professional autonomy' posed by the ingress of computers onto the flightdeck.

Thursday, Aug. 24, 2006
A Republican candidate for this area’s congressional seat said Wednesday that the U.S. government was complicit in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
In an editorial board interview with The Telegraph on Wednesday, the candidate, Mary Maxwell, said the U.S. government had a role in killing nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center and Pentagon, so it could make Americans hate Arabs and allow the military to bomb Muslim nations such as Iraq.

Well, fancy that.
She said this strategy “would be normal” for governments, citing her belief that the British government – and not the Germany military – sank the Lusitania ocean liner in 1915. The deaths of Americans on the cruise liner helped galvanize U.S. support to enter World War I, and benefited England, she said.
editor said:Byeeeee!
So do you believe that the British government sank the Lusitania then, like she claims?Backatcha Bandit said:Well, fancy that.
Well, that and him accusing me of being a "football hooligan", constantly breaking the FAQ and adding, "Fuck you and goodnight...cunt "fela fan said:Another decent poster bites the dust.

Many of which are repetitive bilge.fela fan said:... the only ones that have any interest are the 911 threads based on the numbers of posts they continually gather.
detective-boy said:...repetitive bilge...
..fucking tedious... ..same old bollocks repeated time, after time, after time, after time ... ad fucking nauseum.
detective-boy said:If you don't like it then fuck off... ..somewhere else.
Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm not fela.fela fan said:Shall i cry for you mate? It's a tough tough world out there. Mind you, we could be iraqi or afghan or burmese.
Backatcha Bandit said:Unless, of course, they were fitted with Honeywell Pegasus FMCs. But hey, let's not split hairs.
The concept’s primary benefit was that ATC facilities would be able to instantly and accurately track the location of each FANS-equipped aircraft by using a communications satellite link to "interrogate" the aircraft’s on-board ADS equipment. The facilities could obtain the aircraft’s position, altitude and other data without crew intervention and could, using the same satellite, exchange immediate data link messages with the pilots.
Another one of your bizzare assumptions. That's rather like saying 'My computer cannot possibly utilise Windows Update/be hacked because it's got a serial port'. Which would be a stupid thing to assume.
To suggest (as you appear to) that the MCP is the ONLY way data can enter the FCS/FMC is simply retarded. How the fuck do you suppose the rest of the avionic systems communicate with an FCS/FMC? Grows arms and reach over?
Who says I read it? Because I am more than well aware that sometimes reliable new information comes up in unexpected places I scan it just in case. But you will have noticed I don't engage in discussing it once we have been round the block a couple of times.Backatcha Bandit said:I read some advice somewhere that could save you having to read such 'bilge'.
detective-boy said:Those of you who constantly whinge about "censorship" really have no idea how fucking tedious it is to read the same old bollocks repeated time, after time, after time, after time ... ad fucking nauseum.
Ah, but DB is interested in it, just pissed off with people who expound the same clap trap that's been shown to be bullshit time and time and time and time again.nick1181 said:You could try... like.... not reading them?
I quite often find myself not reading threads because the title contains something I know I'm not going to be interested in.
detective-boy said:Why other posters do amazes me. What is wrong with saying "Well, I believe it and if you don't believe it that's a matter for you" and then just leaving it. What makes you all think that if you repeat it enough you'll convince us?
You're right.Bob_the_lost said:I think.
Backatcha Bandit said:WouldBe, you really need to read up on ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System), particularly ARINC Specs 618 and 619 (these are the standards that define the datalink protocols between the aircraft and the ground and the various onboard avionic systems).
WouldBe said:Cheif conspiraloon Steve Jones claims it was and is being blindly followed by the conspirasheep.
So the tower dodn't fall at freefall speed and clearly some resistance was present to cause this slower fall speed.
