Ismahill: Iru ron borun

homesteady: I also did not believe the news! After all, it was aporoko blog that broke the news!

Jakumo:

I smell bullchit, and/or stark ignorance on the part of whichever dumb phuck made the above statement.

There is NO SUCH THING as a "Reverse Throttle Mechanism" in ANY aircraft on this planet.

On landing, the Reverse THRUST levers, which articulate on the upper surface of each throttle lever, are pulled aft by the pilot as the front landing gear compresses at the moment of touchdown, for the purpose of diverting some of the engine thrust FORWARDS, as a means of slowing jet aircraft down on the landing rollout, in augmentation of toe-brakes application performed by tipping forward the upper portion of the rudder pedals, or by Auto Brake pre-selection be means of the 4-position rotary dial located on the main instrument panel in front of the First Officer.

Thrust Reversers, which are normally retracted as the plane slows to 80 knots, have absolutely NOTHING to do with any hydraulic or electrical failure that could prevent landing gear from deploying on final approach, and as such were probably mentioned by a complete and utter ignoramus who sought to appear knowledgeable in front of the press.

A simple reference to the pilots' timely resolution of an intermittent hydraulic failure would have been sufficient, but the Too Know, Over-Sabi mentality of that spokesperson ensured that outright lies were fabricated by a pea-brained monkey, in the hopes of baffling the public.

Pataki:
You are a despicable eediot. Probably if one of your demented family members had perished in the various air coffins flying around Nigeria airspace, you won't be opportuned to come online and spew utter balderdash as quoted above.

Ninilowo: Make d sack dat Stellah Oduah joor.

Dreamflyin:

Mr Know it all, your honorable self had 'explained' it to be public, now shut your own over sabi mouth.
Reverse thrust or no reverse thrust, the Fokker landed safely. Why show your own demented personality?
Looking for trouble where there's none.
As a pilot, i understood what he was ttrying to say to the public in his capacity as a spokesman, but rather you got a problem with that.
Go through your obscene laden post and crosscheck with spokesman own and ask yourself if there's really a difference.

Kx:

As a pilot u understood, but wait a minute, is the job of the of the spokesman to explain things to "pilots" understanding or to the general public's understanding?
Why did he have to "bamboozle" us with incorrect and ambigous REVERSE THROTTLE MECHANISM when the issue at stake is not exactly in the line of the spokeman's explanations?
Does the spokesman think this is one of those times when the masses duel on Patricks Obiagbon's krinkum krakum grammar?

freezy:

You have said it all. There is nothing called 'Reverse Throttle Mechanism'. 'Reverse Thrust' is used by all jet engines when landing to slow the aircraft down. It has absolutely nothing to do with faulty hydraulics.

@Jakumo

I followed your advice and visited Westfield! Great experience... and pocket friendly too! Will be back there in December. Don't have the skills to do Kai Tak yet. Need more practice for it.

Jakumo:

Hey Freezy it is good to hear you had a good time flying the Boeing 737 at the Westfield Mall simulator. When I tried it out, that half-hour of final approaches went by real fast and was over way too soon, but I'll visit the place when next I'm in London for sure ha ha.

The one minor gripe I had with their setup is that the flight deck seats were NOT bolted down, and could get tipped over by anyone who leans into them like I nearly did trying to get a better view out the window. I hope they fix that minor oversight, and also maybe improve the visuals with wrap around LCD screens so the external scenery is not off in the distance and framed in a black rectangle as it is now.

Dreamflyin:

If you can't understand the Reverse thrust mechanism thingy, how about the long lecture on Turbines reverse thrust from Mr Know it all?
The spokesman summarised all an tagged it reverse thrust mechanism which is how airliners with jet engines land, but your Mr know it all wanted to show himself.

Dreamflyin:

Hehe.. I should have known better; Simulator/FSX Pilots.

Assuming he started talking of flaps, trimming and AOA, maybe your Mr Know it all would know say he's talking in parables instead of breaking it down.

Jakumo:

Meet me under Oshodi Bridge, Lagos, in one hour, Dreamflyin', and bring your boxing gloves so that we can settle this small matter like the true gentlemen we are.

Your spokesman is a dunce, if indeed you are a pilot flying Nigeria's friendly skies, so please advise him or her to allow pilots LIKE YOU to explain things about aircraft to the public. Alternatively, I will accept a job as your spokesman if the price is right, and IF I am allowed to personally boot my predecessor out the old-cargo door into long-overdue retirement.

bishopoliver: Dear Madam Minister,

I write you this short piece on an open forum as this because i know your retinue of aides wont allow it to get to you if i posted it to your office.

I want to commend you on what you have been able to achieve since assumption of office especially the re-modelling/upgrading of some airports across the country. Good job ma!

However, you seem to have missed it as it concerns air safety/confidence in Nigeria. It is on record that your tenure has witnessed 3 major avertable air disasters in Nigeria, namely the Dana air mishap, the private plane piloted by Taraba state governor and the recent Associated air mishap. Madam Minister, it seems you are losing the battle in this all critical sector in Nigeria, to solve a problem.. you need to realise that the problem exists in the 1st place, this you and your aides have not done.

I will suggest that you declare a thorough investigation/audit into ALL the airplanes in Nigeria especially as it concerns their air worthiness, maintenance and quality of personnel. Any airline that doesnt meet up to the required criteria should have its license suspended until such airline meets up.

And again, it seems as if the rot in that sector overwhelms you, i will suggest you leave right now if you cant handle the pressure that the ovation is loudest and not be disgraced out of office.

Dont forget that your last statement that the Associated Airline mishap was an "act of God" is totally reckless and irresponsible of you especially when the families of the lost ones have yet to bury their dead. A visit to this families and an apology wont be a bad idea aint it?

Lastly, i wish you well and i hope you will pick a few points from my letter and implement it. But i doubt it.

Thank you.
