DEI in the news

For those interested:

The typical landing angle for a CRJ900 is around 3 degrees from the horizontal, which is considered a standard approach slope for most commercial aircraft; however, this can vary slightly depending on factors like airport conditions and pilot preference.

The ILS Glideslope angle tolerance is, I believe, .2 degrees per:

Order JO 6750.49B - Maintenance of Instrument Landing Systems​


This FAA Order replaced 6750.49.




Key points about the CRJ900 landing angle:
  • Standard approach slope: Most pilots aim for a 3-degree glide slope during final approach.

  • Factors affecting angle: Airport terrain, wind conditions, and aircraft configuration can slightly adjust the landing angle.


  • Importance of maintaining angle: Precisely controlling the landing angle is crucial for a smooth touchdown and safe landing.

You haven't read Tolkien, have you?

In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, Elves are generally described as being taller than Men. Specifically:
  • The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth series mention that Elves, particularly the Noldor and Vanyar, tend to be taller than average humans. For instance, the Noldor are often described as being of great stature.
  • In "The Lord of the Rings," characters like Legolas and Galadriel are portrayed as tall. Galadriel is described as being very tall, even among Elves, with her height noted as being close to that of Elrond, who stands about 6'6" (or 198 cm).
  • Fëanor, a significant Noldorin Elf, is described in texts like "The Silmarillion" as being of great height, which implies a general tallness among his kin.
However, height can vary among different Elven kindreds and individuals. The Sindar, for example, might not be as uniformly tall as the Noldor or Vanyar, but they are still generally taller than Men.

DALLAS — On February 17, 2025, a Delta Connection flight operated by Endeavor Air (9E)—a Bombardier CRJ900—made a hard and ultimately overturned landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

Flight radar data captured during the final moments of the approach revealed an unusually high vertical speed. Descent rates were recorded at around –1,000 feet per minute, compared to more typical figures between –500 and –800 fpm for this aircraft type, the latter fpm usually required to maintain a 3.3° glide slope.

The last data point from various flight tracking services showed a descent rate of approximately –1,024 fpm just before touchdown.

Pilot error.

Contributing factors...crosswinds and surface condition.

Ironically the runway ice may have helped prevent a fire.

Do we know who the pilot in command was?
 
What's the big secret?

Delta Air Lines is now offering a $30,000 payoff to victims of their plane crash, just two days after it occurred.

Are they trying to pay people off to get ahead of impending DEI pilot revelations?

Delta & operator Endeavor, famous for their “all female crews,” have STILL refused to identify the pilots who crashed the plane.
