Would you happen to know the show?

His name is Terry Lawton and he's a few chemicals short of chemtrail. A complete and utter nutter who seems to have all the time in the world to swan off to annoy people in the UK Met Office and other 'suspect' locations.

This is the clip. He's a hoot alright.

Not sure, he changes his ideas weekly. From geoengineering to mass genocide to Illuminati to whatever yer having yourself.

I wonder what makes these people tick...or thick.

What happens to the flight recording of flights? Only ever hear of them being used when crash happens.

Do they get kept or wiped?

I think it records two hours on a continuous loop.

He lost me at "Airplanes are creating clouds, blocking out the sun".

They'll record over each other.or you can erase CVR data by pressing a button on ground with a number of conditions

The Flight Data Recorder records about 25 hours and the Newer Cockpit Voice Recorders have 4 x 30 min channels.

So a super computer in the UK met office constantly monitors every piece of atmosphere around the globe and sends a signal to planes via satellite to remotely activate the spraying of chemicals out of airliners in order to control the weather.

Sounds completely plausible alright.

What a complete nut case.

So are you saying that you have never seen an aircraft spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to control the weather?

Check out his Facebook page, Terry Lawton is the guys name. Gas stuff altogether.

I hope he used a ferry to get to his conferences, the thought of flying on a chemical spewing 737 might just send him over the edge!

Chemtrails, 9/11, fluoride and lizard people.

smurfjed

While the idea of commercial airliners spraying the skies is absolutely absurd, the concept of cloud seeding from smaller aircraft is frequently done.

Bussywussy

Imagine if he saw Lufthansa's test A340,the one that did the ash cloud surveys 😂😂😂

Just had a sneaky look at his page there. My God some people need to get a life! Lunatic! Unfortunately a lot of people share this man's delusions! Shame they can't contribute anything useful to mankind. :pac:

In all fairness, individuals such as Mr Lawton do perform a useful public service, they give the likes of us a good laugh!

Only in the form of cloud-seeding, which is done on a local scale through silver iodide particles from flares on the wings of light aircraft. A long way off what idiots like Terry Lawtontohimself et al. claim.

I set up this Facebook page to scientifically debunk each of their claims. Already have another such tulip shedding a few petals on it.

If you "keep seeing chemtrail nuts" doing anything you do really need to reconsider where you drink/read online/what facebook friends you keep etc. They don't take being corrected well, at all - they're usually fully committed to their insanity. A quick trip to prison usually sorts them once they 'discover' "Freeman of the land" nonsense, though.

OK Folks, it's time to move on from Chemtrails and the associated stupidity related to it, some of which has been outlined here.

While there have been a couple of useful posts, the rest are realistically more appropriate to the conspiracy forum. That will in all probability change unless we do something about it. So, the SOMETHING is simple.

No more posts in this thread on Chemtrails, or related issues.

The Airlines, and commercial aircraft are NOT involved, so move on, or take the appropriate response from the team here.

Does that mean we can start a new thread?

Annual training time, yesterday was relatively boring, but today I get to evacuate from a burning (simulated) airliner into a swimming pool and get rescued by a dozen or so flight attendants. Unfortunately no bikinis allowed And NO PICTURES,

this is a good question, but would you not consider asking this to all airline pilots rather than few selected individuals of whom at least one isn't even a pilot? :rolleyes:

smurfjed

For me, 2008 in Scottsdale Arizona in a Cessna 182T. Unfortunately I have to get written managerial permission before I'm allowed fly any private aircraft.

As for the Volocopter, probably not for the reason above.

Is this standard for all pilots? What's the logic? In case you crash or something?

Opinions on the 210?

smurfjed

PTP, considering that i couldn't remember the difference between a 210 and 182T, I would guess that i wasn't amazed

smurfjed

I have no clue for other airlines, but for us its to monitor duty and rest periods. However, as i live in a country that has zero private single engine aircraft so it's not much of a hinderance.

They stopped me from flying flex wing ultralights/microlights as they considered them too dangerous, same went for paragliding
