Critiques
First of all, I have subscribed to your magazine for years and enjoy it a lot. It usually gets read from cover to cover by my wife and me (both pilots). However, in the May issue (which Im just getting around to reading) the article on electrical failures wasnt up to your standards, in my opinion. It seemed to make things more complex than necessary, wasnt as clearly written as it could have been, but most importantly, had several important errors. Even the title-"When the Sparks Stop"-was misleading. The only sparks that should occur in an airplane are in the spark plugs.
Key Takeaways:
- A reader critiqued a magazine article on electrical failures for significant technical and mathematical errors, particularly in distinguishing between amperes and ampere-hours, with the editor taking responsibility and clarifying the source of the sidebar's erroneous information.
- Another reader provided additional weather data for a previously discussed TBM 850 crash, revealing a rapid and substantial wind shift just prior to takeoff, suggesting the pilot may not have had time to detect it.
