    That A310 video is actually very reassuring, when watched from the outside and inside of the cockpit. As in what we feel as a reason to panic while onboard is actually barely noticeable from the outside and perfectly within aircraft's capabilities.

I know in south Florida, they let it burn ….a lot more than one might think. The recent fires were being watched and at 60% controlled but as usual, they let them burn. Letting the land naturally burn is part of the cycle. I realize this isn’t a one size fits all . Depending on if a town is nearby, the type of trees, wind and wind direction etc. but I do like how Florida doesn’t fight it. They let these things go every single year and it never builds up to dangerous levels. I no expert. Not even trying to be.

    I miss flying! I’d been to Sarajevo during their war being on the ground shortest amount of time to get the cargo unloaded and loaded. Flew a lot of tactical landing and takeoffs. I flew on wildfires for over 20 years and it was fun sometimes on the pushovers on a ridge or to run down the side of a mountain with slurry. The Azores were a welcome sight to be landing at after flying for numerous hours. The video brought back memories.

    In case anyone is wondering, the MD-87 has its landing gear extended to increase drag and slow the plane during that steep decent so they don't over stress the plane when they pull up at the bottom of the dive. Airliners weren't made to do such aggressive maneuvers at high speeds, and that sudden change in G-forces with the rapid change in weight will flex those wings like nobodies business.

      after dropping that much weight, the center of gravity has to have shifted & the flight profile radically different. Do flight systems automatically account for it or does it suddenly feel like flying a completely different plane to the pilot?

    • @feastmode7931

      hmm i was under the impression that the gear is down as a simple override to the Ground Proximity Warning System, which would otherwise be screaming "TERRAIN, PULL UP!"
      wouldn't adjusting flaps be the standard solution for slowing airspeed on descent? then flaps neutral, TOGO throttle to exit, just like a normal emergency go-around?

      upon executing the low pass and turning the right hand traffic i declare my status as entering the traffic pattern and so forth. in a unicom situation everyone is responsible for everyone and themselves in maintaining order and fluidity of the airspace.
      if i made that same request to say another airport that has a actual operating tower it would sound like this: using Peachtree Dekalb Airport KPDK :
      Peachtree Tower, November 8 8 3 Charlie Papa, 4 miles to the South, requesting a low pass over the active, straight out departure.
      KPDK's tower would either clear me for that said low pass with pattern entry instructions or deny me the pass with a reason why ( optional )
      A Clearance would be: November 8 8 3 Charlie Papa cleared for the Low Pass Runway 2 1 Left, fly runway heading climb to 2000 feet upon crossing runway threshold.
      A denial would be:
      November 8 8 3 Charlie Papa, request denied, traffic on short final.
      If denied i could request a delay and vectoring to get a slot to make the pass or just accept the denial that they are busy and forget about the low pass and move on.
      I would acknowledge that clearance or denial by repeating the instructions back to Peachtree Tower.

    As a child traveling overseas, the airlines would have a few music channels and 1 or 2 radio traffic traffic channels on the cabin headsets. Made for really cool conversations. It also helped that the pilots would share the pre-planed flight path. My father would give me maps and I would point out the landmarks in the distance and reference them on the map as were listening to air traffic. Made you feel more into the flight. It was like having a professional travel guide in the cockpit. I was welcomed many times into versus cockpits. Little did I know, my father was grooming me to become a pilot. Every time I fly, I’m smiling ear to ear with memories. Guess thats the importance of having both parents (male and female) in a children’s young life. Thanks dad..

    1:56 The first time I saw that it was in 1998 after the hurricane Mitch in Honduras, the USAF crew did it with a C-130/C-160 I'm not sure which one it was because there was a few different planes carrying goods and supplies every day during a few weeks after the hurricane, but I remember the loud noise from the engines like "AAAAAAAAHHHHH" and the plane almost free falling until they got close to the run way and landed, it was the most crazy thing I had ever seen because the plane it was loaded to max capacity and they did from a very high altitude higher than this one from the video so the momentum gained should be something hard to explain in simple words...

Tampa is still the nicest, if only for the center hub that you, and people picking you up, can use. Some airports limit people picking up arrivals to just a seating area. Tampa made the middle of the airport a destination on it's own.

    0:30 I have landed there many times as an airline pilot. This is Lajes Field on Terceira Island in the Azores, one of several islands. It's an important refueling or alternate airport for Trans Atlantic Flights. The winds can be wicked. Was fortunate to layover many times. It is like stepping back in time. They raise cattle and laid back life style. They still have bull fighting and running of the bulls where locals line the road and taunt the bulls... This is where it happens. The Azores islands is part of Portugal. We got B767's and landed there less often, however we still had charters there as Lajes Field is a joint military and civilian field.

    Having experienced a last second go around due to a microburst -- per the pilot -- after we landed -- I can say it's the second most unnerving aspect of flying. The first? When your loved one -- not oneself -- is on such a flight and the pilot having to make multiple go arounds and not a damn thing that can be done to ease the anxiety. All pilots earn my utmost respect. None of them are paid what they are worth in terms of value and outcomes. Pilots are surgeons of the skies

      I'm a little surprised that it had enough force to push the stairs back. But I guess they designed it to be able to be useful anywhere it lands. In an emergency, the ground won't be at the right height, and it may not be clear and flat. Now I know, they can probably shove small trees out of the way. It's good to know, if I'm ever in a crash. I've flown a lot, and have never been in an emergency landing. The statistics are going to catch up with me eventually.

      The stress of a drop is well within the limitations of the airframe; that being said because of how they are operated they are inspected more than they were when in airline service. Regarding the age, this particular airplane was built in 1991, so not that old especially when compared to the airplanes that the jets replaced.
