TCAS response on SFO-bound UA 757-200 caused "serious" injury

[Evan]

ONE article in Airbus Safety First and ONE Eurocontrol study is "Hard Research"? But perhaps you feel any research that fits your narrative of the week is "hard research". That wouldn't surprise me.

Narrative. There's a word for the times. Any science or properly conducted study is reduced to a 'narrative'. That's a sure sign of societal decline.

I said THEY did the hard research. I did the easy part. You should try it.

Also, this comes from TWO articles in Airbus Safety First.

Well...where I come from that's called getting off on a technicality (even then only barely). I wonder, Evan, if perhaps there might be an AD that would rectify this. And/or perhaps a TCAS guarded switch somewhere. In fact, I seem to recall BoeingBobby telling us about how he once got an RA off a Twin Otter when he was taking his 747 (on which he has 68,314 hours) into Lukla (he landed on Rwy 24, too). He leveled off manually, so all was well.

I have never been so disrespected by another fly boy. Disappointed is all I can say.

I should try what, the research or the easy part? Or to spin narratives (that's your job)? I don't suppose you have the link to the study, I'd love to read it.

Me too, pops, me too. I had you set up perfect for "hell yeah, buddy, we delivered MRAPs to Lukla for The Duke of Edinburgh's Own 363rd Gurkha Fusiliers. They needed them MRAPs to help hunt mountain sheep. The lamb biryani they made for us the next day was to die for!" Alas, you missed it. I guess after a certain total time one loses all sense of self-deprecation and self-irony. I can only pray that doesn't happen to me, I doubt it will since I will never come close to your awesomeness.

The easy part. Airbus puts this stuff out for Airbus pilots, to keep them aware and informed. I’d feel a lot better knowing that they actually read it.

if I can find a link to the Eurocontrol study I will post it.

Much appreciation.

That was easy:

Note that the report concludes: Airline pilots are generally better at compliance with the RA than other operations (cargo, military, and business jets).

This is a more general Eurocontrol assessment of ACAS:
