Duhbunkers try to explain ACARS and fail Options

[Aldo Marquis CIT]

And of course, we see the obsessoids over at the govt loyalist cesspool scurrying, looking for and expecting an immediate explanation from the nameless faceless "experts". This individual can't even think or research for themself, they have to seek comfort in answers from the groupthink tank.

"I'm sure it's here somewhere, but can someone steer me to the debunk of this rubbish-"

Warren,

I have split out your reply to keep in a safe place until you address the information and questions you continually avoid.

If your next post once again avoids the questions you have been asked to address, I will send you on vacation once again as it appears you need more time to form a response. I would have thought the few months (a 2 week vacation and nearly a year to respond) you've been avoiding to answer would be enough time, apparently not.


I took a stroll around the web to see if anyone is parroting Warren's interpretation.... no one is biting (except a person who is unable to determine the difference between a Boeing 757 and an Airbus). Smart choice, considering Warren is now claiming UAL Dispatcher's are wrong at the job they do daily.


However, I did find this interesting from "ProudBird/Weedwhacker" with respect to RA Tracking capability....

Proudbird said -

"(BTW...."330 fps" = about 195 knots. THAT is the basis for the stated "accuracy".....and that ("195 knots") is well beond any reasonable final approach groundspeed, where any CAT II, or CAT III approach would be conducted. "

Here are the flap speeds for approach.


Flap 15 210 knots
Flap 20 195 knots
Flap 25 190 knots
Flap 30 162 knots

Given that a Radio Altimeter isn't required to be accurate until inside the clearway zone for a Cat III ILS, (RA cannot determine True Altitude along the approach until over a clearway zone guaranteed to be measuring from nothing but grass) ...and given the fact that the aircraft are not allowed to land with more than a 10-15 knot tailwind (depending on Airline... 99.9% of approaches are into a headwind component), the aircraft will be well within the tracking capabilities of the Radio Altimeter when it is needed and required, down low, slow, below 100 AGL on Cat III, with a groundspeed of less than 160 knots.

ProudBird/Weedwhacker should know this if he were a 757 Captain. Clearly he is talking out his ass. Looks like he is going to need another sock at ATS as he is rapidly discrediting "Proudbird" as well.... lol

Ahem, well booN brought it up over at UM, and Czero decided to paste Warren's first message in this thread over here, thinking that it might be deleted from this forum. I think I'll point out that you guy's have responded to Warren's initial message now.
