CRJ_simpilot Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Am I blind or did they take off with a flap setting of 5? Also, I always knew that the flaps and spoilers get retracted after you pull into the taxi path for lack of the right word now. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doering1 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Not sure of the exact flap setting on take off (hard to tell if 5 or 10 degrees). Yes, they missed closing the spoilers after decelerating. They taxied for just under a minute with the spoilers up. I kept waiting for them to close as a point to stop recording! Good eye!

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Every flight I've been on I saw that the flaps and spoilers were retracted on the turn off. OOM errors? Read this.

doering1 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I will tell you something interesting related to the spoilers. I’ve been on dozens and dozens of commercial flights and I have always felt the touch down (sometimes very light and sometimes heavy). I did not detect when we touched down. Not even the slightest trace. You are always anticipating the moment of contact ... but it never happened. We were down without a trace of physical contact with the runway. I think what happened- the pilot hit the spoilers a second before touching down and I believe this somehow made the aircraft landing gear blend into the runway seamlessly without any physical jolt. Maybe it was coincidence, maybe not.

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I don't know, man. Every flight I've been on upon landing the whole tube so to speak shook like an earthquake. LOL OOM errors?
