Felix Felicis -Liquid luck.
Looking at the PB screen shot (cheers); then considering the track; then thinking about where that prop could have gone, gives me the shivers. I reckon no one on that flight need bother buying a lottery ticket, there cannot possibly be much more luck allocated.
Been ‘doodling’ the dynamics (aero) of the prop’s fall and predictive flight path; made no sense of it whatsoever, but its an interesting element, particularly from the ‘instant’ of separation – doodles and scribble – far as I got; way too hard for me – not enough data. Speaking of which, the magnitude and duration of the ‘vibration’ data will be interesting when the ATSB (no rush) publishit. The airframe, being built by the same crowd as done the harbour bridge has proven over time to be able to take a huge amount of punishment – in the usual way. But does certification testing cover ‘vibration’ (frequency and resonance) in any great depth – across the entire airframe? (Bugger, more reading).
We must all hope that the ‘legal eagles’ eventually let the crew go home to sit a while and have a couple of cold ones, in the back yard, watching the sunset. Aye, it all makes my poor wooden head ache – maybe I should learn to knit, properly, you know, fluoro yellow cock socks; for winter wear; or, crocheted jock straps with fur lining. Kidding….(P7 – bad influence).
Toot toot.
