Do you mean news release?

If so, that’s not my job...that’s the assistant PAO’s job...and I’m not sure who that is.

I thought that I had heard that the assistant PAO is...

get ready

wait for it

here it comes

@Pags ?

I'm the V5 divo.

I'm the V5 divo.

Have you already selected your inexplicably homogenous group to promote out of V-2 and put in thin white T-shirts?
(You know, the 20-something, literate, non-eye-hurting females.)

After 4 cruises on 3 carriers, I'm surprised no Air Boss has had an IG opened based on the V-5 staffing.

Never knew V5 was a real thing. We used it as a joke on the LHD...the Air Dept version of Pit Pilot or Gentleman of the Mess.

Unless “IG” stands for Infinite Goodness we don’t allow those. Oh, sorry @mad dog, I meant to write...Unless “IG” stands for Infinite Goodness we don’t allow those.

What is directly to the right of your AI?

The wedge shaped thing? That’s where they would have put the marker beacon lights back in the day.

Head south a bit and you can dogfight with @ChuckMK23 and @mad dog (the Official Special Weapons and Tactics DH of HELNONMONKSPAKRON).

When the new radios are in, maybe I’ll take you up on that.

A 6pack of cold ones and a roll of electric tape and you can have that back in the air tomorrow.

How often are landings like this a thing? Is there any inspection or maintenance? Blows my mind.

 

[wink]

On the B737, prompted by the drooping winglets of the Max, we are now expected to land in a crab. Boeing says it is good up to max cross wind component even in our earlier -800s. Crazy hard to keep your feed still. Awfully rough landing too.

Interesting. At my airline the AOM says to land with side slip, even with split scimitar winglets which are lower than the winglets on the max. It does say that with split scimitar winglets you need to crab over 15kts crosswind component to keep from hitting the winglet.

 

[Jim123]

Does that 15kt limit go up after you scrape the bottom tip of winglet off?

You’re supposedly good landing up to 8.8 degrees of bank with the split scimitars. The max winglets don’t stick down quite as far but they kept the same limitation.
