Quite clearly, you don't know what you are talking about. Aircraft designed in the 80s and 90s require heavy base checks aka "C check" for the A320 every 6 years. There are no d checks required for the A320. See my post on another forum below: It certainly isn't 3 years/C Check for the A320...

Let us discount the facts from the report and go on hearsay and your idea or low fuel uplift. Do you not see how not uploading fuel also supports my argument of poor airmanship? Pilots arrive for pre flight and they're given their "package". The package contains sector traffic, flight plan...

The facts are in the caa report Mr Bullshido. http://www.caapakistan.com.pk/Upload/SIBReports/SIB-350.pdf The amount of fuel uplifted wasn't a factor. The pilots didn't perform an approach briefing. The pilots didn't carry out windshear recovery. The pilots didn't carry out stall recovery...

Not really. It is not an issue in any of the legacy airlines of the West. You'll find that Turkey, Pakistan and Korea are the biggest offenders who have a serious issues with basic piloting skills. It's an asian cultural phenomena unfortunately which their piloting communities are yet to grow...

Multi engine rated. I fly and glide as a hobby. My day job is working low level management for ARM processors. Before that ops manager for British Airways at Heathrow/Cranebank initially scheduling pilot sim training.

That's precisely my point above and that is why you have two pilots up front. If you see the pilot flying break standard op procedure - you CALL IT OUT. You don't act like a meek dog who replies "woof woof" to his master at each calling The co pilot here didn't call out the non standard flying...

Basic airmanship: noun - basic skill/judgment in flying an aeroplane I'll highlight the poor airmanship via an asterisk in the airblue synopsis I gave prior: Airblue - Captain flying. Captain decides to carry out a non-standard circling approach. Co pilot (ex-PAF) doesn't voice concerns*...

The facts are in the accident reports but seeing as you have an issue with reading comprehension, I'll break it down into baby bite size bits for you. Airblue - Captain flying. Captain decides to carry out a non-standard circling approach. Co pilot (ex-PAF) doesn't voice concerns. Captain loses...

Accident: Shaheen B734 at Lahore on Nov 3rd 2015, runway excursion, both main gear collapsed Accident: Shaheen B734 at Karachi on Apr 22nd 2012, left main gear collapse on landing Incident: Shaheen B732 at Peshawar on Feb 8th 2010, went off runway There are more due to crew error but these...

I take issue when pump out their chests in silly patriotic and nationalistic fervour and start claiming their pilots are ' the best'. It happens with quite regularly with Pakistanis for some reason In both the Bhoha and AirBlue accidents we see a disregard for rules and operating procedures, or...

Yes. Accident reports are available on the CAA Pakistan website. The Bhoja 737 captain was Noorullah Afridi formerly of 8 Squadron Pioneers PAF Can't member the names of the others but the reports are published on the aforementioned CAA website.

Airblue Islamabad - ex-PAF F16 co pilot failed to carry out terrain avoidance. All dead Bhoja Air 737 Islamabad - Captain and co pilot ex PAF. Flew into windshear AND failed to carry out windshear recovery AND stalled the aircraft twice. Gross incompetence IMO. All dead Numerous Shaheen...

Incorrect for the UK. Less than 10% of generation is from coa lin the uk. Those swallowing the propaganda should take a look at China's air quality indicators.

History? 1947/65/73 You suggesting next war will be nuclear? Are you really that stupid?

What difference does it make whether one has 180 nukes or 200 in a conventional war? I think some members are suffering from brain shrinkage. Alzheimer's, lead/mercury/insert choice metal poisoning, malnutrition? Any other good guesses?

Kind of sad that a supposedly more senior member is encouraging the proliferation of conspiracy and lies. As for where the money went, most went to creditors (banks) foreign and national who have been propping up your industry for decades. If it wasn't for the banks being paid off, PIA...

What a well thought out remark. Clever one you are. The 206 and 208 aren't STOL aircraft nor do they climb well in heat or altitude. On a ISA+10 day, they will struggle to achieve 900fpm. If you want STOL performance, you need to look at RR250 conversions or pilatus offerings. But then you...

If only ispr was as efficient as def pk's mods at covering up these "technical glitches". So instead of cowardly having my post deleted, why didn't you answer my question? I've checked weather satellite for 1500GMT +/- 5 hours and the weather was unremarkable so that rules out a 'spontaneous'...

For once. Read the article again. The additional F-16s would be procured through a mix of US sales, EDA and purchase from other nations. In the next 5 years, a number of countries will start retiring the F-16 in favour of the F-35. No doubt the PAF leadership will look at those used examples...

We don't need American MRAP junk. We have Toyotas and Mitsubishis!
