Ja...da hatte ich schon vor einigen Monaten mal drauf hingewiesen. Nach dem Zwischenfall mit der Southwest 737 scheint die Doku jetzt wieder eine neue Rundreise durch alle möglichen Foren zu machen. Interessanterweise obwohl es bei der Doku nur um NG-Versionen geht und die Southwest ja eine Classic ist.
Sicherheitsmängel bei B737NG? - Vorwürfe gegen Boeing, FAA und US-Regierung
Ups, das habe ich übersehen. Sorry..

The Gulfstream G650 involved in the fatal crash that killed four company employees on 2 April was at a high angle of attack just before its right wingtip made contact with the runway, say those directly familiar with events of the accident.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says the wind was 15kts "directly from the left side of the aircraft" when the aircraft began its takeoff roll on Runway 21 at approximately 09:30 local time at Roswell International Air Center Airport in New Mexico.
Wingtip scrape marks appear on runway 21 roughly 1520m (5,000ft) before the end of the 3,960m (13,000ft) runway, which "lead toward the final resting spot approximately 3000 feet from the first marks on the runway," says the NTSB.
Witnesses near the scene say they saw the G650's landing gear collapse followed by "sliding on the ground with sparks and smoke and subsequent full involvement with fire while it was still moving," says the NTSB.
The aircraft then "came to rest upright and fully involved in flames approximately 61m (200 ft) from the base of the airport control tower".
Airport rescue and fire fighting teams responded quickly to the fire, which they fought for 15min after their arrival.
S/N 6002, registered N652GD, the second of five test aircraft validating the new large-cabin ultra-long range jet , had been out conducting 2.5h of take-off performance and braking evaluations prior to the accident, taking off on runway 21 with teardrop turns to downwind landings on runway 3 prior to the accident.
Participating along with the NTSB, is German safety investigator BFU, as the twin Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR700-725A1-12 engines are manufactured in Germany. Additionally, engine-maker Rolls-Royce and Parker Aerospace, which supplies the aircraft's fly-by-wire flight control system, are also party to the investigation along with Gulfstream.
Gulfstream Jet Crashed Testing Engine Failure, Agency Says
April 07, 2011, 3:38 PM EDT
Updates with FAA comment in fifth paragraph.)April 7 (Bloomberg) -- The Gulfstream G650 jet that crashed April 2, killing all four crew members, was simulating an engine failure during takeoff when the accident occurred, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
In a preliminary report issued today and posted on its website, the safety agency said the jet was “performing a takeoff with a simulated engine failure to determine takeoff distance requirements at minimum flap setting.” The crash occurred in Roswell, New Mexico.
Witnesses saw the jet “sliding on the ground with sparks and smoke coming from the bottom of the wing, and described the airplane being fully involved in fire while still moving across the ground,” the agency report said. The runway showed wingtip scrape marks for about 3,800 feet before the jet came to a halt, the report said.
Determining the cause of the accident may take 12 months to 18 months, the safety agency said.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which is responsible for certifying the airplane for commercial use, is in talks with Gulfstream about resuming test flights, Alison Duquette, a spokeswoman for the agency, said in a phone interview. No decisions have been reached about continuing flights, she said.

Aircraft Oxygen-Generating Systems Under Investigation
The U.S. Air Force is investigating whether the On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) found on several U.S. Air Force warplanes, including the F-22 Raptor, might be defective.
"Air Force operational commanders have temporarily restricted F-22 flight operations to an altitude at or below 25,000 feet for routine training missions," said Col. William Nichols, a spokesman for the command, which is responsible for training and equipping the service's combat air forces.
"Air Combat Command is conducting an investigation to assess on-board oxygen generating systems on several platforms, including the F-22," Nichols said. "The investigation is designed for mishap prevention and is a prudent measure to ensure the OBOGS are operating safely.
"When the investigation is completed, the results will be reviewed and appropriate actions, if warranted, will be taken," he said.
A Lockheed Martin spokesman confirmed that the restriction has been in place ever since an F-22 based at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, crashed in November. Lockheed is the prime contractor for the F-22, a next-generation stealth fighter jet.
One Air Force source said that an OBOGS malfunction might have been responsible for the incident, which resulted in the death of Capt. Jeffery Haney, an F-22 pilot assigned to the 525th Fighter Squadron.
Despite the restrictions, the Raptor remains fully operational and could carry out combat tasks if needed, he said.
"A standard safety practice with all aircraft is, if there is a known or suspected problem, you take measures to fix it," said Mark Gunzinger, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, Washington, and a former Air Force pilot. "It's not something you want to do, but these things happen with complex aircraft."
While the stealth fighter might be restricted in training operations, that does not mean the Raptor would be restricted during wartime missions, Gunzinger said.
"If it's a war, if it's truly a safety-of-flight issue and it's going to hurt pilots and it's going to prevent the mission from being accomplished, then obviously the restriction will stand," he said. "But if it's something of a temporary nature or there is a work-around in time of war, it may not impact combat operations."
An OBOGS malfunction can be potentially life-threatening, said Hans Weber, who sat on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's Research, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee, and is the current president of Tecop International, a San Diego consulting firm.
"It's a big deal if you're at high altitude and you run out of oxygen," Weber said.
At 50,000 feet, a human being has less than 10 seconds of useful consciousness, he said. The 25,000-foot altitude restriction would allow the pilot to quickly dive below 18,000 feet, where the atmosphere has enough oxygen to ensure prolonged survival in case of an emergency.

Das modernste leistungsfähige Kampfflugzeug ist z. Zt. limitiert auf 25 000 fts wegen dem Sauerstoffgenerator, der die Atemluft erzeugt..... irgendwie tragisch ....und peinlich zugleich.
Gulfstream Aerospace, located in Savannah, Ga., has confirmed the crash of a Gulfstream G650 flight test aircraft at Roswell International Air Center, N.M., Saturday morning, April 2. Four lives were lost in the accident. The following statement was released by the company early Saturday evening:
“Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. confirmed today that a Gulfstream G650 crashed Saturday morning during takeoff-performance tests in Roswell, N.M. Two Gulfstream pilots and two Gulfstream flight-test engineers died in the crash. ‘Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who were lost,’ said Joe Lombardo, president, Gulfstream Aerospace. The accident is under investigation by Gulfstream, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration. ‘We are cooperating 100 percent with the investigation,’ Lombardo said.”
FAA Southwest Region spokesman Lynn Lunsford of the told AOPA Pilot that the aircraft, N652GD, had just taken off when the right wing hit the ground. The aircraft crashed back to the runway, collapsing the gear. “The aircraft skidded for quite some distance,” Lunsford said. “It came to rest 35 to 40 feet from the tower.” Lunsford said the aircraft had been in the pattern for at least two hours. It was his understanding that the aircraft was conducting brake testing.
Das ist wahr, daß das Scheisse ist. Wenn das Fahrwerk kollabiert, scheint es entweder ne exzessive Sinkrate gewesen zu sein, oder man hat das gear zu früh gefahren oder irgendein Teil hat den Geist aufgegeben. Aber alles Spekulation.
Warten wir mal die Untersuchung ab, bevor wir uns in die Spekulation vertiefen.........

Nachtdienstfrühstück auf der Terasse in der Sonne......
Yep, und vor allem besser verarbeitet, als jeder andere Flieger denn ich persönlich kenne. Da kann man sogar fast schon von Spaltmaßen reden, wenn man sich die Verschlüsse von verschiedenen Panels anschaut. Und die großzügige Verwendung von Sealing allerorten ist auch ne feine Sache.......
Ich finde, daß die Trackballs sehr gut angeordnet sind. Und das Easy II hat manche Eigenarten ausgemerzt bekommen:
Wie so etwas zum Beispiel:
