Classic British Flight Sim

On RR engines, there is an LP fuel pump, followed by a LP filter and finally the HP fuel pump.

Indeed there is, but I didn't want to get too techie for the non-techies that read this

Pete, you've got Gimli mixed up with the Azores Airbus.

OOps!

Some people amaze me, read on the letters page on TV today from some-one who wrote in and said that they were getting fed up of the press calling it a crash landing. He/she went on to say that it is not a crash landing as the aircraft can be repaired and therefore it is a landing. A crash landing is when it cannot fly again!!! :doho:

Some people!!!! :brick:

Surely that's called a "crash". :think:

Now I'm being pedantic.

I don't think that it will fly again, lots of damage to the wing roots, I guess she'll be parted out and turned into bean cans

Well, I always call it a crash when something gets a bit bent!! :roll:

I have come across the following definitions before -

A successful landing - one that the aircraft can be used again.

A safe landing - one that everyone walks away.

Can anyone remember the third?

You're a tad off from what I remember -

1) A good landing - one everyone walks away from
2) A great landing - a good landing and the airplane can be used again
3) A perfect landing - something that all pilots claim when they make a good landing

Cruel but mildly amusing

Mildly amusing?

That's the funniest thing I've seen for weeks! Thanks for that, Dave - I needed some cheering up.

Phew.. thanks for that Ian. I fear we may be in a minority of 2 given the complete lack of response (make that 3 as the chap who sent it me was amused too)
