Napoleon_Tanerite Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Now I'm even more confused. What if I actually am in 6 degrees of bank? And how do I recover? Can I even recover for that type of extreme unusual attitude? You DO know there are such things as airplanes capable of operating in conditions other than day VMC without declaring an emergency, right?

BQZip01 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) IMC http://en.wikipedia....nt_flight_rules Yeah. IMC would have made more sense, but IFR does too. Quit quibbling. Wait, what? Now I'm even more confused. What if I actually am in 6 degrees of bank? And how do I recover? Can I even recover for that type of extreme unusual attitude? Is there any way you could whip out a 69 slide ppt deck for me to study on this? That would be great. Aren't there some kids on your lawn Edited October 31, 2012 by BQZip01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prozac Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 BQ, you're starting to sound like one of those navs who'll tell a pilot to "come a half a degree right". Back to your powerpoint please.

LockheedFix Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I once had a nav announce to the crew that he had Spatial-D. True story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimuth Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I once had a nav announce to the crew that he had Spatial-D. True story. Was he able to return safely with your lunch? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravedigger Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah. IMC would have made more sense, but IFR does too. Quit quibbling. Shit, I need to go update my logbook. If I get to count every IFR flight plan I've ever filed as IMC, that changes everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HU&W Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Back in the dark part of the plane it's always IMC, regardless of whether the pilots are flying IFR or VFR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintail21 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Ditch your opinion on this forum about this subject. Roger, ditching my "opinion". "The crash investigators’ evidence was sparse: “With no eyewitness accounts, surviving aircrew members, emergency radio calls or `black box’ recordings, the specific reason for the spatial disorientation cannot be determined,” the investigation said. The only personnel who participated in the pre-flight briefing were the four men who perished."

nsplayr Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 To revive what this thread was supposed to be about... Starting tomorrow, 17 of us from AFSOC are doing a ~450 mile ruck march from HRT to the SOCOM Memorial down at MacDill to honor the memory of the guys on Ratchet 33 as well as Lt. Col. John D. Loftis, another air commando who was killed in Afghanistan the same week. It's a 24-hour team relay march and it'll take us about 6 days to get down to Tampa. There are also 2 other folks climbing Kilimanjaro in the near future as part of the same effort. The primary purpose is to remember and horor our brothers who fell in the line of duty, but we're also raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. If you're not familiar, they provide education counseling and no-cost grants to the kids of Special Ops troops who are killed on active duty. Darin left behind two young ones and we want to support them as well as other eligible children by making sure they can all go to college just like their parents would have wanted. If you're inclined to support us, we've got a facebook page with all the details as well as a First Giving site through which donations are sent directly to the SOWF. Any support from the BO.net community is greatly appreciated and if you're in the Hurlburt/Eglin/Tyndall/MacDill areas feel free to come out and ruck a few miles with us along the way. Hit me up via PM and I can give you our projected timeline. To the heroes, Ryan, Nick, Justin, Julian & Darin *Disclaimer- this event is not endorsed or sponsored by AFOSC, the USAF, DOD, or the SOWF* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsplayr Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks to anyone from here who supported us. Big shout out to all of our supporters and partners along the route too! Great success, raised close to $30K including off-line donations for the Special Ops Warrior Foundation. This is why we did it...never forget Edited February 9, 2013 by nsplayr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
