Trend Vector: March 2014
http://trendvector.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Thoughts and Perspective on MH 370. I remain unconvinced of the terrorism angle, or some intentional behavior on the part of the crew to hijack their own plane. I've had the honor of having two articles posted on the CNN Opinion page, 6 days apart. In the first, http:/ www.cnn.com/2014/03/10/opinion/palmer-malaysia-aircraft-air-france/. Published two days after the crash, the assumed location and search area was the Gulf of Thailand. Media reports today (3/18) report that the t...

Trend Vector: MH 370 Floating Part Found - So Where is it?
http://trendvector.blogspot.com/2015/08/mh-370-floating-part-found.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. MH 370 Floating Part Found - So Where is it? A B-777 flaperon, almost certainly to be determined to be from the missing flight MH370 turned up on Reunion Island, located off the east coast of Madagascar. As of today, it's been over 509 days that's about 12,400 hours. I give the figure in hours, because when applied to a drift rate that will easily reveal how many miles this part may have traveled before showing up on the Reunion Island beach, 600 miles east of Madagascar. Looking ...

To submit your own comment. I bought a Danco 10347 cartridge to replace a Delta RP19804 cartridge for Delta 1300/1400 series tub faucets. Do NOT do this. The water flowed fine but my pipes started banging when you turned water off around the house. I bought the Delta RP19804 cartridge, installed it and the banging stopped. No need to call a plumber. Greg says: Nashville Guy,. Delta seems to have a Universal Valve body called R10000. Is that made to replace everything before, or what? Greg says: Ron,.

Trend Vector: February 2014
http://trendvector.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. A now classic video out of American Airlines, often referred to as "Children of the Magenta Line", this video provides a great refresher on attitudes on Automation Dependency. The presenter, like myself advocated turning it all off to maintain pilot proficiency. To use my analogy, when you're called on stage to do your surprise solo performance, you want to have been practicing. The video concludes: "To maintain pilot proficiency: AP and ATHR OFF". Links to this post. Shipping...

Trend Vector: Comparing QZ8501 to Air France 447
http://trendvector.blogspot.com/2015/01/comparing-qz8501-to-air-france-447.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. Comparing QZ8501 to Air France 447. On December 30, 2014 two days after the loss of Air Asia Indonesia (QZ) flight 8501, CNN asked me to provide a comparison between QZ 8501 and Air France 447. The following was published 12/31/14. While flying into a thunderstorm is always to be avoided, it not likely the sole cause of the accident. The procedure instructs the pilots to shut down two of the three air data computers to render the usual stall protection inoperative an allow rec...

http://trendvector.blogspot.com/2014/05/five-years-ago-af447-crashed-lessons.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. Five years ago AF447 crashed, lessons learned, progress still needed. It was five years ago, the night of May 31. 2009 when Air France flight 447 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean on its way from Rio de Janerio, Brazil to Paris, France. The crew flew into a line of thunderstorms in the intertropical convergence zone north of Brazil with little effort to deviate around it. That storm has been estimated to top over 50,000 feet. Mile long path on the ocean floor 12,000 feet below. Change...
