Microburst aviation

Interesting moment for the pilots!

 

Incredible moment planes take off WITHOUT going down the runway

Having done many microburst/windshear training sessions in the simulator and studied a number of the accidents which have occurred I can confidently say that's one of the most f.....ing stupid examples of appallingly bad airmanship I've ever seen in my career.

 

I have a descriptive phrase I use occasionally: "temporary pilot". That meaning "temporary" until they kill themselves being a show off.

This came up quite some time ago.....maybe last year(s) and it was an attempt by the pilots to SAVE the tow planes as they were about to get SMASHED . Bloody dangerous....but it worked !

Take the insurance payout. They had a lot more to lose than the planes.

 

I'm doubtful they fully appreciate the nature of how microbursts work.
