Mundane News

[raleighnut]

Though the report doesn't say that a pilot switched it off, simply that it had been switched off and a conversation between co-pilot and pilot went ''Why did you switch it off?'' and ''I didn't.'' The radio news report didn't identify which one asked and which one replied. The report has to be impartial.

I wonder what would make the switch move on it's own, vibration maybe ? or it not being fully engaged in 'run' and slipping to 'cut off'

The fact that the report didn't recommend action against either Boeing or engine manufacturers, General Electric, seems to rule out any mechanical fault as cause. Otherwise, they'd all be grounded until mandatory checks had been completed.

So it's back to who did what in the cockpit, and the report doesn't say who said what, including who sent the mayday message just before crashing.

I have a voucher for a free iced lemonade from the well known sausage roll purveyors which seems like a good excuse for a slow ride into town.

I am going to the town where Ronald Reagan went to college this morning. Folding bicycle pick-up. Then railfanning/trainspotting.

Bike has been cleaned. Think that earns me a cuppa and sit down

There was an advisory issued for the Boeing 737's which had an issue with them .
You would have thought that it would have been a bit more urgent than that?

Indeed.

5 Live had a 737 pilot on this morning who had postponed his takeoff realising the cutoff switches had turned, a faulty locking mechanism. Boeing sent a instruction round to airlines to undertake the fix but it was not mandatory.

That is interesting. It's a shame that it hasn't been published elsewhere.

It's too hot 🥵

I had hoped to go for a ride today but I'd boil up, just like the road surface outside.

I think I've consumed enough water to power a hydroelectric power station for a week.

Kitchen emptied in readiness for the kitchen fitter next week, plus the guest bedroom emptied of the items put in front of the new kitchen which is being stored in the room. Given the plumber's also cut holes in my walls and is dismantling the main bathroom the house is looking very higgledy-piggledy.

Grass has also been cut.

I'm cooked 🥵

Washing hung out mid ITV4 coverage of TdF, maybe all in the same advert break, and it was dry once todays less than exciting stage ended.

Evening cuppa brewing
Evening stroll was nice.
Bike ready for some early morning miles just got to decide on which route and exactly what bike 🤔

Decided something was seriously poorly with the older clematis; the one new this year is thriving and seems to be exceeding its quoted height but the older one has stopped growing and the leaves have got very dark so its now in garden wheelie bin. The trough exacvated into to old washing up bowls and a potential search tomorrow for fresh compost and a new clematis.

or then again maybe not. Late spring or early autumn are quoted as the best times.
