>But since 9/11, and nearly EVERY pilot and airliner ‘went-along-to-get-along’ with that bullshit story.
Fuck you talking about anonGo along to get along? In what way?
He can get in fucking line behind every other letist, jackass piece of shit. When are you military fucks gonna step up and stop this shit?
It's pretty clear that the DS has been pushing for MAGA Patriots to go kinetic. They aren't getting and haven't been getting the reaction they want. They will stoop to anything they think will either help them or destroy their enemies or both. I put absolutely nothing past these filth. They are capable of anything.
Normal air traffic anon.
Reeeeeeeeee this motherfucker.
You are a fucking idiot anon. I just retired from 35 years in the cockpit and neither the company or the FAA told anyone to shut the fuck up about anything.
Visibility is good up in the NE corridor anon. 10 miles right now. Cnx's are probably due to crew shortages.
He copped to it. KSM copped to it. I take the motherfuckers at their word. I really give a fuck who did it or not. It happened and no one, no where told anyone to shut the fuck up about it.
>but might you have a statement and explanation at the patriotsquestion collection? I do.
That question would be what?
No, it won't go down that way. But, you have to know they are pushing hard to provoke MAGA Patriots to starting it. It would give them the excuse they think they need to justify round ups, citizens and firearms. They gonna be waiting a while.
Sen. Ron Johnson is one BASED MOTHERFUCKER!!! On Maria right now.
>How could turning off the flight deck transponder make an airplane ‘disappear’ from the primary radar return?
It wouldn't make the aircraft invisable to ARTCC. They would still be able to "paint" the aircraft. Company designation, flt number, altitude, descending, climbing would all be gone. Direction of flight could still be observed.
>What would (normally, and properly) happen if a flight crew turns off the transponder or fails to interact/dialogue with ground based flight following?
Since 9/11 that triggers ARTCC informing the Air National Guard in that sector among many other agencies, that they have a unknown situation with this particular aircraft, no comms, no transponder etc………that would facilitate the launching of several fighter jets to go up and confront the aircraft. If the Fighter Jets were unable to communicate with the aircraft, there are certain manuvers that the Fighter Jet will perform to signal and you had BETTER respond to those manuvers. Push come to shove and depending on were that aircraft is etc…… you could get your fucking ass shot out of the sky. That's what would happen in that scenario.
>Position, heading, speed AND approximate altitude are all calculable from the ground.
All correct except altitude anon. Last known altitude. rest of it would be a WAG.
>Your second part: you, supposedly, were already flying for fifteen years before 9/11. You honestly going to try and tell me that none of that existed BEFORE 9/11?
Of course it existed. Not in the "urgent" matter it would be today. What's your fucking point to all of this?
In a nutshell, pretty much. I always hand flew the aircraft below 10k in and out of the terminal area. Hand shot low approaches etc……..my personal preference. Other guys, yeam 1000' "autopilot on". I useually engaged it out of 10k.
KMFAO. No, never interacted with the board. Rarely if ever interacted with the siuts. Perhaps during recurrent training at HQ. And yes, if there was ever a situation and I'll give you one, the flight crew out in KSFO that was taxing out and the Capt. was cussing about the fucking liberals out there broadccasting it all over the ground freq. He was summonded to HQ and given a "Hey man, you can't be doing that shit over the ATC frequency out there". etc…. probably got a few days off for that one.
Give a fuck what you doubt you idiot. North of 25k hours in turbojets over 100k lbs.
KMFAO!!!! I asked you what your fucking point is with all of this? What's your point faggot?
I give one rats ass what you think I know or don't.
True statement anon!!! kek
>But I simply will not risk myself or passengers anymore in these now Very Unfriendly Sky.
Why do you say that anon?
Guy that did that one particular fuck up in KSFO I know. When I heard the ATC recording I busted out laughing and called him. He got a slap on the wrist for that. Believe me when I say that conversation in the cockpit happens every day. Bitching about fucktard liberals. Someone pulled some shit at the gate and he had to deal with it. Threw the fuck of the flight and put them behind schedule. That's really what he was pissed about!!!! Last day. Going home etc……. Late now.
>Aren’t (you) glad i’m not flying anymore?
Should I care? You that dangerous, inept? KMFAO!!! probably a good thing you ain't flying anymore. You know, self preservation and all. I showed up in the middle of your conversation? I started this conversation genius.
