Some of them are seriously low aka engineering failure effect. 962mb would ground analogue instrumented aircraft on Thursday the 21st.
Also that low you get issues with strokes and haemorrhaging in the general population.
To note the technical checks in most European countries are done by a government licensed agency.
They are separate to the repair shops and dealers.
A mate got pulled for having a third party headlight fitted without a "EU" number on it. Quite what the number is I haven't a clue.
Cold fronts are a feature in a depression. There is a big one crossing the Atlantic this week east.
Highs the air is descending big one sits over northern Russia in the winter.
just took my new 2 year ago car to have its first tech check 3 weeks ago and it was surprisingly anal on the recall checks. the first point of call was the vim check.
speaking now as pilot its the Siberian high which is in full force.
Yes 32 degs C and 90 RH is not unusual even in the Baltics.
I really am just trying to understand it because I seem to be one of three people in my global group of friends that does follow these recalls and makes any effort to persuade people to actually do them.
It was the fact that someone...
yep it was the fatality in Sept 24 which triggered my thought to post. Would have thought they would have been out of circulation by now.
I have yet to get my head round the difference between US bags and others. I have looked for accidents in Europe involving them but no success.

The previous thread on airbags is closed.
Sept 24 being the most recent fatality caused me to post this.
Which dual shut down on the runway of an A220 are you on about?.
The one I know about are definitely not American. But there was definitely a Boeing pilot involved.
Max uses leap engines which are one of the options on the Neo.
The engine choice or lack of it on the A220 was certified...
There seems to be a preference for the leap engine on the neo.
And as the max deliveries are so low it's working out well for everyone.
Per say it's not the engine life that's an issue it is MRO capacity to turn them around.
They seem to have defined the maintenance life safely. It's more...
I don't have any problem personally.
And it's Pratt and Whitney who did the engine design and holds the certification for the engines.
Some good news https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mz9ml473mo
His view is not uncommon in people none American or linked to Boeing directly.
It's a cult following of pilots, cabin crew and technicians. They only know the 737.
To be honest my peers including myself are not great fans of the A320 type either.
The E195 I am told is a great machine to...
It think it was when I joined.
A second fatal accident with the same root cause inside under a year so soon after certification yes I would expect the type to be grounded.
If there was a similar pattern on the A220 I would expect it to be grounded. We are still having pretty major updates...

This links you through to the icao manual.
There is a load of stuff from NASA as well.
