    AF447

    There is normally an audible warning of "Dual input". Putting the aircraft aside, there should be a respected protocol of who is the PF (pilot flying) and who is the PM (pilot monitoring) and pilots should make it clear to each other who is doing what. There was a lot of confusion in the...

    AF447

    Yeah I get that. Just wondering if the outcome had been different if the captain had been at the controls.

    AF447

    When the first two stall warnings went off there were only the two co-pilots in the cockpit. Maybe if the captain had been at the controls at that moment then there would have been a different outcome. It was those dual inputs from the copilots that were cancelling each other out and causing the...

    AF447

    The minute the first stall warning went off it would have made sense to put the aircraft nose down and get out of stall. By getting into lower altitude the pitots would have probably started functiong again and Autopilot would have sorted things out back to normal.

    AF447

    The fact that there was a lack of authority and knowledge of what was going on in the cockpit is where the main issue is in my opinion. It was only in the final moments that they realised they were working against each other.

    Master Socket in loft

    Once you have fibre in place it is best not to mess with it as very delicate. Can leave the fibre part at ground level and then run CAT6 to router.

    Master Socket in loft

    I agree. Use proper joint boxes. I did a similar install with my broadband cables and CCTV camera cables. They were all coming into the loft so I pulled them down through the ceiling and into the old Immersion cupboard below. Got a rack setup in there with router, switch, CCTV recorder, etc. It...

    Keep it Green

    No point asking the council as they'll send you jumping through hoops all about health and safety and all that. I regularly plant trees around my neighbourhood to spruce up the area and attract wildlife. I also cut and maintain the grass on the side of the road where I live. A reduction in...

    Master Socket in loft

    Fluctuations in temperature won't do the equipment much good. Peak summer it can be boiling up there! If any of the equipment has fans it will get very dusty quickly. You also probably don't have any smoke alarms up in the loft so could be a fire issue. Could you pass it down through ceiling...

    Win 11 update and drivers..

    For anyone who wants to install Windows11 with a machine that won't let you (due to TLS and SecureBoot), there is a way round that using a Windows ISO and then using Rufus to create a bootable USB stick for the installation.

    Cat 6 and Wireless Access Points

    Definately CAT6. Forget about CAT5. Another vote for Ubiquiti Access Points. I have been using the AC-Pro Access points for a few years now. Setup a POE switch somewhere where each of the Access points can come back to. You can then install the Unifi Controller on any PC to adopt each access...

    What do you imagine the world will be like in 100 years?

    So, I was having a think about what the world could turn out to be like in about 100 years time. The possibilities: - Cows and other animals free-roam the land and anyone who dares to mention eating meat is instantly imprisoned. Everyone has become a vegetarian. Just look how much veggie stuff...

    Are you a morning or evening person?

    Late nights for me. Not a morning person at all which is very annoying when having to get up for work.

    Alternative meats

    So vegetarians, please scroll on by. We've all had the usual Chicken, Beef, lamb, etc. But does anyone eat other meats? I discovered Ostritch steaks in Tesco's last week and they tasted great. No fat on them whatsoever and it went very well with my chips. Hows about you?

    Most people do not have the space for additional bins.
