It has probably all ready been addressed, but the area between the coming and the cabin is a dirt magnet.  Picture 2 (post 5636) shows a narrow "V" at the coming/deck/cabin jount, will there be a wide fillet in there to make cleaning easier?


In Topic: United Airlines Ranked "Worst in US"

12 April 2013 - 01:37 PM

5+ hours on United LA to Newark.  Brand new 737, no entertainment system, no Wifi.  Plane was put into service before they were installed.  5 items on the inflight menu, by the time the food cart made it to us in mid cabin, they only had one choice left.  Initially the beer was warm, cooled down as the flight went on.  When the flaps went down, the port inboard flap pylon was shaking about 3" side to side, suprised it held on.  And the floor under my seat was totally wet.  As a fellow pilot I thought the Capt would be interested in knowing the condition of his plane.  I got shrugged shoulders and a "what am I supposed to do about it" reply.  On the next leg, was flying on one of United's subs,  Regional jet flying in freezing rain.  I noticed that the ice boot and first 1/3rd of the wing was covered in 1/8-1/4" of rime ice for most of the flight.  When I mentioned this to the pilots as I exited the plane all I got was a "deer in the headlights" response.  I think I'll take my chances with some other carriers.

From another forum I follow.  No experience with Trident, just passing along.

 

"This guy has parts and can repair older Raymarine autopilots. He just repaired and tested my ST3000 control head late last week (although I have not received it back yet).
