How do u record from your sky + hd box onto your pc?

[montelomanis]

@pbrew85 what do you mean with that ? how i get it from TV to pc ?

[pbrew85]

@montelomanis Yes that.

[montelomanis]

@pbrew85 there are a LOT of ways to do that, most of them are illegal and i can not reproduce it here... for the iNFO try the DVD recorders from TV its amazing!

Hire better pilots, PAY THEM A DECENT SALARY, don't work them to exhaustion, and things like this won't happen.

Just wait until they do an ACI on AF 447.

i think its dangerous to fly these type of airplanes in cold areas like north america this is just like American Eagle airlines flight 4184. I say that these planes should only be flown in the summer.

If you are in a "stall" ..

NOSE DOWN DAMMIT..

pick up airspeed ..

and if your that DAMN LOW ..then

WHY ARE YOU GOING SO SLOW?

[wwgt]

Agree !

We fly model airplanes..and this is basic flight knowledge.

What the hell was that Pilot thinking?

and the co-Pilot? pulled the flaps up?

when under a low speed condition?

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS ROOKIE MISTAKE..

"she pulled the flaps up

?

INCREASE POWER, NOSE DOWN, DAMN IT!!!!! THIS IS BASIC FLYING NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!! YOU LEARN THAT IN FUCKING GROUND SCHOOL!!!!

@mightybedbugs Because the pilot was too busy thinking about how to get her in the sack.

@mightybedbugs 1. fatigue , complacency ( you do it enough and it is human to become complacent)

2. Panic and removal from the situation by being complacent

Just my opinion, it is easy to judge them sitting on my couch. The best thing to do IMO is learn from their mistakes and try and not repeat the errors. It isnt an easy job and sleep deprivation does some amazing things to your abilities. If you havent experienced it you truly don't understand.

@mightybedbugs I agree a little bit but it was late at night and the pilots had not been given sufficient rest

[mightybedbugs]

I know you real pilots hate when all of us flight simmers try and critique from our arm chairs, but this crash angers me. Two serious questions.

1. Why weren't either of the pilots watching the speed?

2. Why in the hell did the pilot pull back on the stick when it popped out?

Even us recreational flight simmers know the number one rule during an approach is watching that airspeed like a hawk. Always. It amazes me that professionals made such an elementary error. Ughhh.
