Jetstream Ep 2

[@Mrparangos3]

Thank you to upload this great series!!!

[@theaceofspades485]

Thay guy just walked out on being a fighter pilot. If I was outside that office I would have been like HEY! heard there was a pilot slot?.

[@vinyltapelover]

TheAceOfSpades There is a Perisher series(U.K.), about a submarine captain's course. If they complete the course, they will get a submarine Captain's poisition. If the candidate fails the course and if they had worked on a submarine prior to the course, they can no longer work on a submarine or even go back to thei old sub billet. They can only get surface ships or land based billets. One young man, whose instructor felt good about his performance and attitude, walked in and told the instructor he was done.

Thank you for uploading. Can’t stream or buy this dvd now 😞

[@kdwh]

that callsign, Pig, is that because his last name is constable...36:00

[@falconfighting4793]

AOA must be above 8 degrees to hear the tone

[@P.G.Wodelouse]

Why would you ever give up on being a fast-jet pilot when so close and after so long getting there. that will surly haunt him later in life as a major regret.

[@gamestv4875]

2:33 What is that poisonous tip he is referring to , anyone?

[@Duality306]

Looked like the seeker head of an Aim 9 ....but no clue what the substance would be

[@AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-y5f]

@@Duality306 could be the cooling maybe?

[@jakubwojasiewicz7588]

Cooling fluid for the AIM-9

[@TheRealCFF]

@12:00 you would almost have to grade that as a cut pass; he came really close to a rampstrike and killed people!

[@MetaliCanuck]

Far from it LoL

[@TheRealCFF]

@@MetaliCanuck He was right there. That was a taxi one wire. If he got any lower he would have had a really bad day.

Lesson learned? Dont drop your pen in the cockpit 😨

[@OberstStruppi]

Do you know where do get the dvd?

[@TheRealCFF]

@12:00 that was a terrible pass! Taxi 1-wire! Not at OK!

[@Planehazza]

Surely their explanation of the E Bracket at 13:40 is backwards? It is opposite to the AOA bracket (LG down) in the F-16 at least. In the F-16 the FPM floats within the AOA bracket to show where you AOA is at; if the FPM falls to bottom of the AOA bracket (or, more correctly, the AOA bracket rises to the top of the FPM) then it means the AOA is too high and you're therefor too slow. I think they have their footage backwards in this scene.

[@jbxman]

Their explanation is correct. The F-16's E Bracket is backwards from how the hornet works. You can look it up in the NATOPS.

[@falconfighting4793]

@@jbxman true

[@controllerhead47]

"They put you through RMC and they break you down!" Yeah, buddy. No F18 for you.

[@controllerhead47]

Not surprised that he did, not anything new about my military.

[@Tyro74]

Yes

[@heathfitzgerald363]

If the F-16 that I used to fly had the FCS warning come on we would have never left the ground. That guy would have immediately been flunked out of flight school. They're way to forgiving up their in Canada and don't even get me started on the guy that was scared of lightning lol.

[@xHabsFan10x]

Dude, you're watching a made-for-public-tv show and judging as if it's an AIB report. Chill

[@inf0x0]

I'm not even a pilot and could have told you that was a no-go when the FCS fails and has to reboot, and he waits until it happens again 2x in THE AIR before even thinking its a serious issue?! This guy shouldn't be flying jets.

[@MegaCanucksrule]

Seamus ended up flying with the snowbirds for 2 years

[@77Creeker]

well he flew with the snowbirds later and you dont even have your pilots license

[@Planehazza]

Not always. BIT (Built In Tests) on the FCS/FLCS sometime generate spurious errors. Pilots usually just hit FLCS reset and run the BIT again.

[@heathfitzgerald363]

I flew F16s and I agree with the comment. That jet should have never left the ground. In America he would've been kicked out of school. Canadians are way to forgiving. Making mistakes like that could be unforgiving.

[@ARyanCoke]

@@heathfitzgerald363 What did his training tell him to do? The newbies, canadian and american, have diddly squat for experience. If I have a failure in my plane I go through the checklist. If the problem can be cleared and no faults then you are typically good to go. There are some things I would return right away because I would not be comfortable continuing with. I have 15,000+ hrs experience and I will tell you what I would do when I had 300 hrs and what i would do now are quite different but you can't teach someone experience. I am not experienced on the F18 so I can't tell you what the procedures are. On the second FCS failure I would for sure start to be concerned and have returned. It's always easy to be an armchair quarterback.
