Well, given that the CT did the davis dam test, we can at least assume* its J2807 certified. If it is, then it has to meet a structural weight requirement that is at least the maximum rated tow load on the hitch. Read more
Depends on the rate of change. If the climb rate was high (as you’d expect in a jet) and the cabin altitude rose too quickly I can see how the rapid change would be painful. Read more
I fly a King Air so I’m familiar with the process. It’s the rapid rate of change that causes problems, so if the cabin wasn’t pressurizing it wouldn’t be a big issue as they probably held at a lower altitude to sort things out. But if they climbed quickly with the cabin altitude still high I can see now how that would… Read more
The plane manufacturer is the only reason this story was posted on here. This kind of issue happens every now and then and with a plane of this age, was likely due to a maintenance error not a manufacturing issue. Read more
This doesn’t make sense. If the cabin wasn’t pressurizing, there would be no cabin differential (difference between cabin pressure & outside pressure) so how did the eardrum damage happen? Unless the cabin did pressurize then there was a rapid decompression? Read more
Pretty sure the shock here is that someone would film evidence of their illegal activities and post it on social media. Read more
Knowing (and having your family know) if the windows is tempered glass or laminate is probably a good thing to add here. Laminate is becoming more and more common to reduce wind noise - I’m not going to look up what Tesla uses but particularly on EVs where wind and road noise are more prenounced once you remove engine… Read more
Just to clarify, the aircraft didn’t likely blow its tires DURING the braking event. Aircraft tires have pressure release plugs that allow a “controlled blowout” if things get too hot. This is to prevent a more violent, catastrophic explosion of the tire which could cause damage to the aircraft both externally, and… Read more
Well it’s hard to make the wrap stick properly if you have blood on the panel from the sharp edges. Best leave it to the pros!
