Radar altimeter starts calling out at 50 feet and lower, but I don’t pay attention to it.  I use my Mk1 Eyeballs to judge the height.

So the radar altimeter is just there for when both pilots have the fish for dinner and one of us passenger types has to land the plane?

That won't help you.  The RA does give us height information that we use during certain approaches, but for normal landings, I just use the seat of my pants.

So if I'm on your aircraft when you have the fish for dinner, I can't land the plane unless I can fit into your pants? Or is a passenger landing the aircraft not considered a "normal" landing?

Sacred movie for me. I met my wife of 38 years on a blind double date to see Airplane! when it first came out. Married her exactly a year to the minute that date started.

Neat story, HeroHog.

I remember the first time I saw it I would laugh so hard at one joke, I'd miss the next one.  Had to see it several times to get it all.  I remember I was shocked at the inflation scene.  Nowadays, meh, funny, but not so prurient any more.

Forty-six mile water skiing by aircraft:

Hmmmm, 46 miles in 2 minutes 36 seconds.  What's that work out to in miles per hour? :D

1,061 mph!!  That plane was flying!



Or, if we account for the Youtube editing, 52 mph average.

:D That's what I got, too :D

Interesting to watch the wheels bouncing over the ripples.

Say, did I notice the winglets are tipped downward at 0:21 and possibly other spots?  I asked about the efficacy of down-tipped versus up-tipped winglets in crosswind landings a couple of months ago, but sort of got poo-pooed on that one.

I figured down-tipped winglets would help hold the wing level in crosswind landings.  (As well as reducing the vortex effect.)

Hard to tell, they're black against a dark background.

Droop tips improve low-speed flight and handling.  They actually decrease the stall speed by a knot or three.

Upswept wing tips decrease drag in high-speed flight.

Neither type affects crosswind landing because the empennage (fancy French word for tail) has a longer arm from the CG and therefore has a greater moment to steer the nose in crosswind landings/takeoffs.  The winglets may contribute slightly to drift just because they will catch the wind more than a flat wingtip will, but compare to the size and shape of the fuselage, the effect is minimal.  So, allowing a slight amount of crosswind-induced drift because of the winglets doesn't cancel out the greater effects of high-speed drag reduction or low-speed stability.

I'm not talking about yaw, I'm talking about roll in a crosswind, where the upwind wing tends to get picked up and sometimes the downwind wing touches the ground.  The winglets have a large moment arm on which to counteract the roll (negative* feedback) if they're tipped down, and emphasize the roll (positive* feedback) if they're tipped up.

Just seems that way to me.

                                    /
___________________/   <--------------- crosswind
            WING
Wind from the right tends to tip the wing up, a positive feedback situation

___________________
             WING             \   <-------------  crosswind
                                    \

Wind from the right tends to tip the wing down, a negative feedback situation.

All depending on angles and airfoil and so forth, but it looks like the down-tipped winglet (giving negative feedback) would be inherently desirable.

But they don't do it that way, so this must be wrong.

* "Negative" and "positive" are in the mathematical sense, not the emotional sense.

I understand now. 

The winglets are so small, and the plane is so heavy, that a crosswind will not push on the winglet and roll the plane.

Why not do both?
