      Met him at the Crobar in London where he used to frequent with a couple of the other Maiden guys. Absolute diamond of a bloke. Lead singer of one of the greatest bands in history, a qualified airline pilot, international standard fencer, and STILL a lovely human. There's a lot of 'celebs' these days with less than 0.5% of that talent and achievement that could learn a hell of a lot from his example.

    Bruce really is an exceptional man. I remember when he first got his pilot's licence many years ago. They were interviewing him and asked how on earth he could manage all of it... touring, composing, fencing (he was one of the best in the UK), publishing books, and flying.
    Anyway he was trained by B. Airlines and now employed with Astraeus. You may never fly with him but thats just you being biased. He is 100% qualified... they even trusted him to fly Rangers FC apparently.

    The system is supposed to respond by pitching itself down, even at low altitude. The A320 that crashed at the airshow did exactly as Airbus intended to prevent a stall. yes, it still crashed, but due to the fact that the stall was in a recovery state, the decent rate wasn't as severe and hence why most survived the crash. AF 447 should have done the same. sure, the speed was unknown, but it recognised a stall and altitude, thus should have pitched down, even with pilot input. That's the point.

    • @celsostarec6735
      @celsostarec6735 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Humans should always have the last say over machines.
      As of mid 2019 Boeing had to 737 Max 8 accidents caused by a very bad implementation of a subsystem called MCAS that dares to nose down the plane based on a single (possibly faulty) sensor aggressively under "manual" flight.
      Pilots startled by the malfunction could not act timely to save the planes and the lifes of Indonesian Lion Air JT610 and Ethiopian ET302.
      Who would imagine Boeing of all plane makers would be involved in accidents where pilots had difficulty overriding computers...
      There was a way out with the "Runaway stabilizer" memory item, but pilots are not used to it nowadays, and a quick enough reaction time can't be taken as granted.
      IMO AF447 and ET302 show the limits of automation, and the need to prepare pilots to an eventual handover of controls in a clumsy situation. Maybe the're rare events, but always challenging ones.

Iron Maiden were scheduled to start their tour. He made the decision to go on tour. I think he made a wise decision. I wonder if he ever wonders how his life would have been if he chose to go to the olympics instead. Well, I am glad he chose to Join Iron Maiden. It was the best decision he ever made, I think.
