do they have the doors disabled on dc-9s and md-80s?
Nope...those are emergency exits on those planes. I DON'T think you would want to exit through that door in flight though. You would be getting out RIGHT in between the engines

QuoteJumpers would exit from the door closest to the nose, right?
They would exit from the rear 'stair' door (opens down like a narrow tailgate). Just like they did at earlier Quincy boogies and how D.B. Cooper pulled it off. I believe the airlines later installed some sort of interlock to prevent opening the door in flight, this would have to be disabled. The 727 is perhaps the only passenger jet with such a door, making it suitable for jumping.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

QuoteI have not heard of any breaking due to the test out lined in the SB
One broke at Skydive Greene County (Xenia-Ohio).

QuoteI have not heard of a pin breaking yet but several bending.

There have been plenty of them breaking.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

QuoteWhy are you appalled ?
In performing the test you bend the pin in 4 directions. Food for thought.
Everything bends when subjected to a load.
When metals are loaded past their elastic limit, they no longer return to their original condition when the load is removed.

QuoteWell, one would be equally justified in opposing polygamy as one would be in opposing same-sex marriage, no?
Exactly, I think it is a defensible position.
Unfortunately, many think that if you take this position that you are a "hater".People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -
Of course a law can be written to allow same sex marriage that would not involve polygamy in any way. I just think that then you would not be justified in opposing polygamy.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

QuoteI'm not quite on board with your argument that advocating same-sex marriages also necessitates advocating polygamy. Why would this be inconsistent? Please explain further.
I don't think it necessitates advocating polygamy, I just think that it allows advocates of polygamy to make the same argument as advocates of same sex marriage. Why should they be prevented from doing what they want? Who does it hurt?
I think the general public's attitude about polygamy is so negative because of the image of it involving young girls (in isolated, rural areas) being pushed into arranged multiple marriages. Even if the girls are 18 at the time of marriage (which they don't have to be with parents consent), there is the image of a very isolated, controlling family structure almost brainwashing them, not allowing the girls true freedom of choice. Of course many who would want multiple husbands or wives would not fit this stereotype. I think the laws against polygamy were because many did fit the stereotype exactly, and there was a desire to protect the young girls by law. If you can figure out a way to identify the good from the bad then maybe there is no problem, but I think it would be very difficult for it to be written in law.
I think once you consider changing the definition of marriage, you must be prepared to deal with this question.

QuoteHowever 3/16" is more like 4.76 mm!
As a result of not checking the math before testing the pin bent and was sent back to the dealer. The dealer straightened it out and did TEST 2 which the pin passed. After that he sent it back to the owner and pointed out the error in the bulletin.
Others have noted the error.
I don't like the idea of straightening a bent pin. Extra work hardening might have bad consequences for brittleness, or other bad effects.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

If same sex marriage is OK, then why not marriage of 3 or more persons?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriage is composed of the following elements (in no particular order):
Interpersonal agreements between willing participants to act and feel in certain ways to each other
Agreements between willing participants to treat certain property rights jointly.
Enforceable obligations among willing participants to pay money to each other under certain conditions
Freedom from certain legal proscriptions against acting like married people, for instance by having sex (rapidly diminishing in modern times)
Possibly a bond with God which sanctifies (4)
Use of the word "married"
(1) and (2) are entirely personal and under nobody's control except the participants.
(3), and (4) appear to be government roles. (3) is simply a mutual support obligation however, and (4) is all but obsolete.
(5) appears to be under the control of churches or of God. It has nothing whatsoever to do with government.
(6) is linguistic, so it's nothing more than how the word gets used by the masses. Except in France, government has no role in setting linguistic usage.
Which parts should government dissallow for gay people?
Which parts should government dissallow for threesomes?

OK, so at least you are consistent, but I think that advocates of same sex marriage will not want to admit that acceptance of polygamy should be included as a necessary part of the new deal. They know that support for same sex marriage will not be there if it is acknowledged what should also come with it, to be consistent. The general public will not support it. The general public may not know why they don't support it, but I think rejection of polygamy is a certainty-it may be an emotional reaction, but it is a powerful reaction.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Have more confidence than is justified.
Visualize it going well.
Check with your instructors, but maybe try intentional turns, or even a slight track if you can't stop a turn. That used to be the old advice for static line progression when a student had an uncontrolled turn - track for a while and then flare out.

100% inspection is exactly what they are now requiring.

Is exactly what who is requiring?
100% inspection (for the time period affected) is now required per the service bulletin.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -
QuoteSomebody else mentioned 100% inspection. Aside from being unpractical and uneconomical, you always have the issue of whether testing can actually damage the test pins.
100% inspection is exactly what they are now requiring. It had better not damage the pins.
edit - when the cable is swaged on, isn't it required to do a pull test? Why not do a bend test at that time also? I don't accept that it is unpractical or uneconomical. Of course it may not be done at Capewell, but it doesn't matter.
If Capewell is not now inspecting all of them, how do they know the problem will not continue - just by whether more problems are reported? Remember, Capewell says they don't know what the problem is/was, just the symptom, so how do they know it is gone?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

QuoteBatch tracking is a common practice for most manufacturers of any type of structural, medical, aviation, etc., products. Any manufacturer should be able to "time frame" materials they use. I'd be more concerned if they did "not" know.
But so far they say they are not admitting to any specific material or manufacturing defect.
To be able to know the time frame, but not admit to the nature of the deficiency does not seem right to me.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

QuoteIt is obvious that the field test is not for tensile strength but for deflection due to the load placed upon the pin by the closing loop.
The test load gets added to the load (quite variable) already placed by closing loop - test #1 is not a good idea, in my opinion.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
