For the first time ever on APG, an “augmented crew!” I was joined by fellow pilots Miami Rick and Dr. Steph.
Several iPad Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) at American had a problem with a crashing app. Was anyone in danger? Well, if you’re the clueless media, YES! Not the media? Well then, no.
For an inexplicable reason, a Turkish A320 dipped its wing right before touchdown, resulting in the right engine, pylon, and wingtip contacting the runway. After a successful go-around, the jet returned for an eventful landing. Check it out.

The GAO released a report earlier this month discussing the U.S. ATC system, and the need for the FAA to more comprehensively address cybersecurity as it transitions to “NextGen.” Several “experts” have jumped into the fray, including a guy who tweeted about his hacking prowess, resulting in his removal from a United flight in Syracuse. Is this another case of bad reporting? Or, is there really a serious cybersecurity threat?
In the wake of the Germanwings tragedy, the chief of Airbus’s jetliner division warned against reducing the pilots’ role in aviation safety.
A Piper 601 Aerostar had an interesting “touch-and-go” at the Aero Acres Airport in Fort Pierce, Florida. You have to watch this video. Wow.
One of the pilots of the Serbian Presidential private jet, a Dassault Falcon 50, accidentally activated the Emergency Slat Extension switch while trying to sop up spilled coffee, causing an uncontrolled dive of about 5,000 feet. Apparently, he will now have some time off to think about his error, and catch up on past episodes of the Airline Pilot Guy show!

WHERE is that sandwich I ordered? That’s it. I’m punching that flight attendant in the face! Yes, a “hangry” passenger causes an emergency divert because his sandwich wasn’t delivered in a reasonable amount of time.
Speaking of outrageous behavior, a co-pilot beats up his captain. In front of passengers. Nice.
Finally, a CRJ-700 departed the prepared runway/taxiway surface at Columbia Regional Airport in Columbia, Missouri.

Miami Rick joins me again, this time via Google’s Hangouts On Air technology. On this episode, we talk about updated information regarding the Germanwings crash investigation. Looks like many European carriers are adopting the “at least two persons in the cockpit at all times” policy. We also discussed the Air Canada A320 “short landing” at Halifax last week. The inaugural Virgin Atlantic flight from Manchester, UK, to Atlanta, Georgia, did not go as planned after a celebratory water cannon salute went awry. Whoops.
