99. a little dated...?

Prog,

Sorry, i didn't read this comment earlier. This is old, old discredited stuff, Prog.

But, I'm curious, what would be your response to the sources of your information (such as Joel Harel & SPINE) if you found out that you'd been lied to?

To make a long post short, Nila Sagadevan's nonsense "The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training" (earliest ref: 9/24/01) was completely debunked by the publication of the NTSB report on AA77 autopilot settings."Study of Autopilot, Navigation Equipment, and Fuel Consumption Activity Based on United Airlines Flight 93 and American Airlines Flight 77 Digital Flight Data Recorder Information" (Feb 2002).

Sagadevan's paper is complete crap. One piece of wrong information after another. He even got the flight paths completely wrong.

Yet it is STILL cited (by racist bigot Gordon Duff, among others, in his despicable rag Veterans Today), in 2010 (http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/08/13/nila-sagadevan-911-the-impossibility-of-flying-heavy-aircraft-without-training/).

You can search yourself for the full original, brain-dead stupid Sagadevan paper.

Here's NTSB's description of the simple switchology that Hanjour had to execute: http://www.scribd.com/doc/31594959/9-11-NTSB-Autopilot-Study-Flight-AA77-UA93

About 5 switches thrown, then Dulles & Herndon VOR frequencies entered into VOR receiver. Other than that, heading, altitude & airspeed set & controlled by autopilot. Simple. No flying by pilots until last 8 minutes or so.

Last 8 minutes: at leisurely pace (25% power, until last few seconds), within visual range of Pentagon. The whole maneuver was completely typical of a VFR pilot's approach to an airport.

BTW, the bold part of the comment in your citation, "We tried repeated tight, steeply banked 180 turns at 500 mph followed by a fast rollout and lineup with a tall building" PROVES BEYOND DOUBT that they were performing maneuvers that were WRONG. Utterly unlike Hanjour's simple, leisurely, low power 330° descending turn.

A complete dismantling of Sagadevan's nonsense can be found in "Oh no! not another expert!" by Giulio Bernachia, a real airline captain.

So Duff published this debunked nonsense in 2010. And you did in 2013.
Are you not embarrassed?
