All this talk about reducing speed in rough  conditions!.  Seems pretty obvious to me that if it is rough you reduce  speed to reduce the strain on the plane.

 Its just what you would do in your car. If its  rough you take your foot off the pedal.

  

 Interesting piece about the pilot tearing the fin  off an Airbus by hammering the fin from side to side. I thought the basic design  philosophy of the Airbus was that the pilots inputs were smoothed  by putting them through a computer which stopped him doing that sort of  thing.

  

 Flying to New Zealand in Feb. and I have specified  no flights by Airbus. Feel a bit of a traitor as the wings are built only about  20 miles from home but I don`t like some of the stuff which is circulating on  the net. In fact there is so much of it I wonder sometimes if some of the  stories are not perpetrated by Boeing.

  

 Cheers

 Hi Tony,

  

 i can see myself flying down from 40,000 feet  sitting on the main spar.  i remember  a guy  who landed about 3  miles from home during the war who was the rear gunner in a Lanc which had been  badly shot up and was struggling to get back to base when the fuselage fell in  half. The gunner rode the rear turret down and got away with being fairly badly  banged up, but survived.

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat
