Cold War Jets - August 29th 2010

[Gaz]

Be good to see some of you there. It's always a good day, even when Cluny comes and the weather takes a nose dive

[Tom.com]

Really sorry to ask this, but isn't taxiing spelt with two "i"s rather than with a "y"?

And might be able to go, will talk to the father

Didn't know you were Catholic.

[Tom.com]

Neither did I...

[Mayfly]

Perhaps he need divine help in persuading Nickolas!!

and I always spell taxiing with two 'i's so I expect Y is correct

[Cluny]

Il be there

I know something you dont know .

[Gaz]

Il be there

I know something you dont know .

Bet you don't

[Xplumberlives]

Oh do tell!

dictionary.com says taxying or taxiing... however the spell checker on Google Chrome seems to prefer taxiing (but rather interestingly doesn't recognise 'Google')

[RLN]

Thanks Ian, that may save some arguing.



Why is everybody whispering? Just tell us.

[Xplumberlives]

Boo!

[Mags]

Another day I can't make

[Xplumberlives]

Another day I can't make

That's known as the SPITFIRE Syndrome!

[Gaz]

If I were to call it Taxiing, I'd spell it with double i. I always call it "Aborted takeoff" as I think that is probably the correct term (??)

Blame whoever made the poster

[Mayfly]

No, an aborted take off is just that, the intention is to get airborne,but for some reason that intention is abandoned.

A fast taxi is a fast taxi, there are subtle differences!!

As subtle as the C.A.A!

like a strong gust of wind and a co-pilot dragged off the street?

I'll just stick to what we call them at Bruntingthorpe: A quick 'un

and very very noisey

I think the commercial aviation world calls it a Rejected Take-off.

A fast taxi is a fast taxi, there are subtle differences!!

We always considered Taxiing, whether normal speed or fast, to be moving the aircraft around the airfield from one point to another.
IE; taxiing from bay to perry, then to end of runway for take off.

So to move from one end of the runway to any point up to the other end of the runway using a taxiing manoeuvre is a fast taxi.

For those who want to look up manoeuvre in aircraft terms I will save you the task.

[Mayfly]

But the difference between a fast taxi and aborted take off is, intent and energy managment.

OK, how do you categorise the NOSE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND? That is not part of a TAXIING manoeuver!

[Mayfly]

no it's braking!!
