Muscle Building Drinks Death



had been two weeks since I was flying and "hangover" of all the crap dumped on television about the tragic flight Spanair 5022. Spend some time without flying is bad, but if you have to hold up a plane crash all the time can adversely affect a pilot. It's very serious, it makes you think that one day something might happen up there and if you're really prepared to deal with it. Fortunately, when I walk down the platform and climb into the cockpit you do not really think about it.
On several occasions I have mentioned how much I like flying solo, but this time took the opportunity to bring a colleague. In the background to all the pilots we like to go to people on a plane and teach how the things any of you just getting the bug. In that scant second I have to check the implementation of engine during takeoff take the opportunity to look at their faces and never fails, they all are shocked to see the ground under his feet away, as if they had ever flown.

Normally I try to go out with them in the days of "sun and flies" to prevent someone from casting finished breakfast. However, such days of quiet atmosphere not often occur in Galicia. That day was blowing a little wind, but the north and quite noising to the track. After the safety briefing where we say everything we do in case of engine failure on takeoff, we make the checklists and the test motor. Still OK, the tower allows us to align in the track header, now the wind direction is 04. "We're going to move something in the off" - I say to Ramon. Today we will fly to the Marina Lugo, so the output will Coruña airspace by Echo One point I called the checklist before takeoff when the tower gives us permission to leave. "Ready Ramon? Well, we're going." I push the throttle lever to the bottom and check that the anemometer is "alive", the engine still in green and reached 60 knots rotate to go to air. It's true that he was going to move, but less than I expected, really. We arrived at the level of security and then a new checklist, we turned right toward the reservoir Cecebre, flying over its southern part as there is traffic from flying school in the area. On arriving at Echo Point One, call and ask Santiago approach climb to 5,500 feet.
"See that mountain? There is behind Eume Dam." Eume River Dam is one of the most beautiful Galician authentic for being surrounded by cliffs. It seems that the mountains have been cut with a knife, similar to those that exist in the canyons of the Sil. "If you dare, make a sharp turn on it ..." We lined
Cape Ortegal to see scattered clouds fall to approximately 2,000 feet below us. Flying above the clouds, near them, is one of the joys of flying. You can see your own shadow reflected in them and surrounded by a circle of colors like a rainbow, a result of the refraction of sunlight on the humidity. It was a perfect day to do what a good friend called "cloud walking", or "walk in the clouds." I remember once that being a friend on his first flight and began to shout as it was impressive. Imagine the face of someone who has never seen the clouds from above ...
Since
Ramon weather the storm well, I decided to do something she had never done with a passenger on board the plane to take zero gravity. The experiment consists of holding a pen with the palm of your hand, make a parabola up to zero gravity and keep the pen floating in the cabin. Ramon is encouraged, although he warned that the move I had never left alone. We adjust our belts, Ramon held the pen. "Just hold it, he will only begin to float." Meto power and describing a parabola ascend until the aircraft no longer has much more energy. Our weight is increased by the g's positive. Just at the vertex of the parabola, where we start to itch to move from positive to negative g's, it rises to the level cero.Y it was: the pen started to float in the cabin for a few seconds. The negative g's are pretty awful, but had experienced before and during the course of acrobatics with the Yak-52. However, feel and see a floating object as if we were impressed enough space. Ramon is hallucinating while looking for the pen, which ended in the back of the cabin, I try to accommodate your feet on the pedals again, because at the moment of the "floating", my legs were raised. No doubt an experience to remember.
clouds prevent us from seeing the coast and we believe that there was nothing else to do. We had flown almost two hours!. The evening was falling and had to return to meet the flight plan 1 hour 45 min we had planned. Upon our arrival we found something in the process commercial traffic at the airport, so had to hurry or we would have to make you wait. The wind was still from the north, although somewhat stronger than when we took off. There was no alternative, had to enter through the 04, something complicated when the north wind is moderate due to orographic turbulence. However, due to commercial traffic that would come in a few minutes, the tower gave us permission to make a "final cortíiiisima", thus avoiding the hill Costa and turbulence. I reckon it was the shortest final approach and exciting I did in my life. Undoubtedly, the icing on a flight suitable for restless spirits.

NO Telecinco -" Is Turning "

What intended with this video? "Burn the face of a crew lost some friends? Such can only be news in some brain rotted @ s who call themselves "journalists" and that do nothing but discredit the true professionals in this sector. "It did not cost anything to change the flight number." If I say that Emilio, I operate the face just so that nobody would recognize me with shame. And the draft journalist who recorded the images along with the rest of the team of this "program", perhaps you would like to know that people working in aviation is antetodo professional, educated to do so and he knows his work, which Today, unfortunately, in your world every time there is less and the clearest evidence of this is this "great video" you have done. Congratulations and keep on contributing to fuck you doing television.

Plane Crash: Reality and Common Sense

"Two thousand seven hundred forty-one people died in traffic accidents and I do not see the media spend three full days and talk shows to address how they should improve road safety. "

has been more than 10 years since that Paukner accident that killed all occupants of the plane after colliding with a mountain on approach to Melilla. From then until the 20th of August not happened in Spain plane crash of such magnitude. This shows clearly that aviation in our country is safe. And maybe that security and that has been so long that we have confused. Let no one be fooled, because flying is safe but accidents do happen and unfortunately the Barajas is not the last. And for any errors occur because the error is a quality human being, and we can not help it.

When a disaster like that experienced in Barajas everyone wants answers and accountability. To the plight of victims, they seek solace in the media because they are the ones who provide information, not realizing that, taking advantage of his weakness, some media bombard them with junk media confusing further. Already, who accuses Spanair terrorist for killing their loved ones. It's terrible.

I would like to restore the people's memory what happened to the Yak 42 which crashed in Turkey in 2003 killing as many English military. Wanted to do an investigation and identification of bodies so fast that eventually handing the family remains were not those of their loved ones. And in this country do not learn. Is there anyone who is able to explain to these poor victims who have lost their relatives, who are being deceived? Spanair is a party involved in the accident and while there is an investigation Open can not comment publicly on the causes of the accident until the end, unfortunately for victims seeking response. Should not fall into the trap of seeking a quick fix, for all job well done takes time. Otherwise it would be much easier to say that the pilot was flying under the influence of alcohol. At the end of the day, the pilot can no longer defend themselves and thus would have a cause that would explain everything. In short, a delusion for fast relief. We have seen in the accident Paukner and Iberia Flight 610 crashed into Mount Oiz of Bilbao in 1985. Thankfully, sanity prevailed in the end and could not be demonstrated in any such nonsense of the two cases.

Barajas Returning to the accident, I personally do not understand why he paints the government in all this if not for politics of the accident. Imitating a comment for Enrique Piñeyro film director Whiskey Romeo Zulu - I would also say that with the knowledge that the President's Office of Aeronautics is understandable that states that the pilot of Flight JK5022 was "ate "Every track on takeoff. Any pilot knows that a planeload of passengers and fuel, rolling down the runway at Barajas at 2.30pm in the heat of August, need more runway to take off that if used in winter and less weight. But the ordinary citizen does not have to know this, and the comments of the Government can lead people to draw wrong conclusions. Eye, do not say that the government lies, it is among the few who have seen the famous video of AENA, but should not intervene in this as the commission of inquiry to clarify what happened.

The same applies to state funerals to be held for the deceased. Is not this a political trap to get to the casualties on their side? I say this with all due respect to those who have lost someone in the tragedy, but for a moment let us apply common sense. In 2007, died on the roads all less than 2,741 people. TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY ONE PEOPLE! Many of these victims were young people driving under the influence of alcohol, that is not just an accident, it's a stupid way to leave this world. Others, in his recklessness took the lives of many innocent people. This is truly tragic, and we see that the media devote three whole days and talk shows to address how it should improve road safety. I do not see that the Government to state funerals that have been innocently killed because of a drunk driver. Could it be that those who died in a plane have more rights than those killed by accident? And if so, why, if we speak of just 200 people in ten years of aviation, when the traffic accident deaths in the thousands in one year?

When passengers board a plane with a "false" sense of security that makes them contemplate the possibility of error, and when tragedy occurs breaks psychosis. But there are those who cause traffic accidents and continues to work with the same recklessness as usual, without revolutionize a country. And then say nonsense doubt about the professionalism of the pilots who train for years to fly, and whose primary value drivers is security. What may a pilot head feel so pressured by his company decided to risk a suicide off a planeload of passengers? Could it be that someone thinks they are aliens from another world who have no family or children waiting at home? "We need much, but common sense.

I hope this incident will serve to make us think that there is help and inform the families of victims as required, by providing all the support they need, explaining in detail the difficult process ahead of them and isolate them from all media speculation that reality is not distorted in the way it has done with the accident Barajas.

JKK 5022: The Circus of Television

As we all know the story, today I will dedicate myself to make a strong criticism of the media. Since the early hours after the accident, the blast of nonsense in the news outlets not only absolutely absurd but instead of reporting only contribute to further increase confusion and pain of the families of the victims is totally unnecessary.

First I would like to stress that the causes of air accidents occur are many, never a single, and no journalist or pilot nor any company has the ability to say what were the causes of an accident, let alone two hours overdue. For it is the Commission's Air Accident Investigation, part of Civil Aviation under the Ministry of Development.


The MD82 plane crash is manufactured by McDonnell Douglas in the 80 and 90, and has sold thousands of units worldwide. The reason for these airplanes Spanair was replacing old but it was not because compared to the new Airbus, the MD are not profitable in terms of expenditure. If you are unsure as stated in some way, then we can not fly by plane, not because it is an extended plane but because the Jumbos, the rest of the aircraft firm Boeing, Airbus and others have also had accidents in which people have died.


Finally, I would say a commercial airliner does not fall by an engine failure, or by wind gusts that had allegedly Barajas yesterday, and not by the wake turbulence that the plane itself had been an hour earlier in the first abortion-off, which is to be the dumbest thing I have heard in these two days. Everyone is free to speculate what they want, but respect for the families of the victims I would like the media would stop talking nonsense for once and abide by the Civil Aviation reported that they alone have the power to talk about the causes.
