Such sad news about my aviation true love. I flew half my career hours on the 747 - over 15,000 hours at the controls of the Queen of the Skies. 14 of the British Airways fleet are parked at Cardiff, where I am senior flight instructor. A beautiful but sad sight.

@aviatorwriting The thrust reversers were deployed on touchdown. You can clearly see the translation cowl in the rearward position. Reverse idle is often SOP. Autobrake on a minimum setting is easily held by nose up control inputs. Insufficient hard evidence to be so judgemental.

@scottiebateman Physics, @scottiebateman . 9 x √tyre pressure = minimum aquaplaning speed in knots. Call in 10 x in MPH. It applies on deep water, not just on runways. While it’s not impossible to break surface tension above aquaplaning speed, it’s easy to run along the surface.

To all those replying to #BlackLivesMatter with ALLLivesMatter, you’re missing the point, and illustrating why, to reach that happy ending, we need to consider equity and justice.

Solidarity @jessphillips but mostly just a hug. Stay strong.

Guess what I am finding hard is the awakening to an even bigger audience of the "would we or wouldn't we rape Jess Phillips" because of legitimising of the perpetrator. I've dealt with it in drips for nearly 4 years and just deleted or blocked. It's like a torrent at the moment

Sad to hear of the passing of a true national treasure. April Ashley is dead at the age of 86. RIP, icon and inspiration.

@LindzzeB My vote always goes to Boeing. While the A350 LOOKS like a nice working environment, Airbus made some duff decisions at the A320 stage which remain. Non-moving throttles, so no instant feedback on what they are doing. No feedback on what the other side stick is doing.

@scottiebateman About 60,000’ for me too, in Concorde. 45,000’ at the controls, in a 747-400 from Sydney-Melbourne with minimum fuel and 90 pax. New aircraft and we just wanted to see how it felt (much better and more stable than a -200 at 39,000’).

@GINIEJET11 Not a touch and go, where we land fully, reconfigure for takeoff then set thrust and roll to a takeoff, for training. This was a go-around. The correct response to a bad bounce. Go-arounds are available until the reversers are deployed.

Delighted to be appearing as the ‘studio expert,’ live on BBC 4 next Tuesday and Wednesday at 8pm on the longhaul and shorthaul episodes of Planespotting Live before handing over to a military pilot for the third episode on Thursday....

@BBBLondon The gear failed on downwind in the circuit pattern. I flew a few Go arounds and ran all the checklists but what eventually worked was a good military style ‘run and break’ with the gear coming down with the help of a little ‘g’ in the turn.

@Adamprice Sorry, Adam. The apology was akin to someone saying, “I’m sorry you see it that way.” No apology at all for the tweet. Just that it hurt some of us. She’s a dyed in the wool transphobe and that will lose you the votes of Welsh trans people.
