September 20, 2012. Needles in the Milk Jug. I switch my instruments from the map mode to raw data, and now instead of Google Maps, I’m looking at round dials and needles pointing in various directions. The copilot scratches his head, but silently stares at the map mode on his panel as if it were a security blanket. I brief him on the ILS approach and explain what I’m doing. He rogers the briefing and tightens his seatbelt. Laquo; No Fly List, No Problem. Today may be all we have. On September 21, 2012.

January 15, 2014. NTSB investigators were always informative and offered insight not generally available. I only had the secret service aboard one time and that was due to former President Carter and the First Lady riding in First Class. The Secret Service iswell, secretive. Ground school instructors were always most welcome in my cockpit due to my previous experience. UhXXX 1214Ground. You sound just like my wife. Yes dear, have a good flight. Who knows what led Southwest to the wrong patch of concrete?

NTSB report on Asiana at San Francisco | harrisonjones

https://harrisonjones.org/2014/06/26/ntsb-report-on-asiana-at-san-francisco

June 26, 2014. NTSB report on Asiana at San Francisco. There are interesting side issues revealed in the findings:. Two emergency evacuation slide/rafts (1right and 2right) inflated inside the airplane on impact. I can see how that would happen due to the impact force. If the door moves with the slide armed, the slide will inflate whether the door actually opens or not. The door at 4right actually separated from the airplane and struck a seated passenger, causing severe injury. I admire the NTSB for thei...

Nathan Carriker's bLogbook: April 2011

http://www.nathancarriker.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

With Realism and Romance, writing takes flight. Not only to fly, but to bring the world's eyes.skyward. Monday, April 4, 2011. Structure - - FAIL. System - - SUCCESS. The news media have been getting a lot of mileage out of the depressurization of a Southwest Airlines 737-300 over the weekend, replete with the sadly typical barrage of incredulity and extreme visualizations from the talking heads after playing a few sound bites from passengers high on adrenalin and low on facts. It was a contingency.

December 9, 2012. Have you ever seen a horse fly? Probably not, but if you land at the airport in Lexington, Ky., it would not be unusual to see race horses being walked up the loading ramp for transport in a specially designed cargo jet. You didn’t think a million dollar stud would be hauled to California in a truck did you? Also, there are certain cargo items that the captain must be informed of and agree to transport by signing a hazardous materials form. These items include infectious disease mat...

December 16, 2012. The Next Big Thing. Now, if I can just answer the questions with some degree of literacy we’ll be in business. What is the working title of your book? Titles, like covers, are tough because they need to create immediate intrigue and also describe the essence of the story. The working title of my new project is Flight Grounded. Where did the idea come from for the book? What if a passenger has a heart attack? What if I have to land at the nearest airport? The airline crew would include ...

October 22, 2012. Today may be all we have. Late in the month, Pierre’s schedule had him flying a trip with a two day layover in Rio de Janeiro. It seemed like the perfect time to take advantage of the free flying privileges of airline employees, and he invited Isabelle to accompany him on the trip. A wonderful opportunity and what could possibly go wrong? Laquo; Needles in the Milk Jug. On October 22, 2012. On October 22, 2012. On October 23, 2012. On October 25, 2012.
