Hey SNIPPERMAN, I think you mean BREED. I am a FAR BETTER pilot than that person's boyfriend, obviously, because I haven't killed myself in 5,000 hours and decades of flying. Just a momentary lapse of skill or attention can be disastrous, which is why you should NEVER consider being a pilot - you have COPIOUS instances of lapses.

You do like to claim that they are delusions, but the process of demonstrating that I've got anythin g wrong is clear;y beyond you.

That's a bit easier that identifying dials from the cockpit door. Flap handles work in one dimension, and control yokes can rotate as well as moving up and down.You don't have to be an aviation expert (which I've never claimed to be) to be aware of that.

I don't bring the full power of my intellect to bear in this forum - it isn't quite the right place to do that.

They are stupid because Flyguy thinks that they are stupid?  Even Flyguy should be able to work out the problem with that, but he is remarkably stupid.

You claim to be a far better pilot because you claim to have survived 5,000 hours of your own piloting, but you are an anonymous troll and have never posted a shred of evidence to support your claims. Even if you had survived 5000 hours of your own piloting (which isn't all that plausible) you could just be lucky, and that person's boyfriend could have been an even better pilot, but rather less lucky.

> Just a momentary lapse of skill or attention can be disastrous, which is why you should NEVER consider being a pilot - you have COPIOUS instances of lapses.

But not sustained lapses. Even in an aircraft, you mostly have a few seconds in which to correct an error of action. There are accident reports about cases where the lethal error happened at exactly the wrong moment, but there aren't many of them.

The original comment stands: you don't know SHIT about aircraft.

You LIE, SNIPPERMAN, because I AM NOT "anonymous" as you claim. Hey, fool, prove me wrong - IF YOU CAN (you won't because it IS TRUE!)!

Searching on Tom Seim might get me relevant data. but why should I go to the trouble? If you want us to take you seriously, post your own links.
At the moment you sound like a windbag. More hot-air ballooning than any other kind of flight of fancy.

No.  I admit to making typos - like everybody else and I don't catch all of them - like everybody else. That doesn't make me incompetent, no matter your idiot delusions might suggest. A lot of my professional life was spent checking for and correcting my own and other peoples lapses of attention. We didn't waste time on being censorious about it -   it would have been a waste of time, as well as upsetting everybody involved

Hey SNIPPERMAN, you don't do what proves you to be a LIAR, obviously. Everyone on SED KNOWS you are a LIAR, even DecayedBrainMatter.

That makes sense. I don't lie. Flyguy might have intended to say something different.

Flyguy does seem to have entirely lost the plot. Why he would think that escapes me. Nobody else here has complained that I lie. He doesn't like me being sceptical about his more implausible claims, but that doesn't make me any kind of liar, much though he might like it to.
As a claim it is silly enough to constitute a lie, but Flyguy is too deluded to held responsible in that sort of way.
