No.3 engine edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The No. 2 and 3 engines suffered severe rotational damage from high RPM speeds at impact...

But No.3 engine had been out of service. Valetude (talk) 12:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

The No. 3 generator was inoperative, not the No. 3 engine. AustinEng (talk) 18:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Attitude vs. Altitude edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The word "attitude" has been repeatedly and erroneously changed to "altitude." If you don't know what these two words mean within the context of aviation, you shouldn't be changing them. AustinEng (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Altitude" means height over a surface (water, ground), "attitude" defines the spatial orientation of an airplane (nose up, nose down, banking or yawing left or right, in extreme cases being inverted). Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 07:03, 6 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
