Retired NASA "expert" Inspires Balsamo Fraud?

That's a good one, I shall remember to use it when I can! Hilarious.
You're welcome. ;)
I suspect "Cap'n Bobby" has other mental issues as well, though...

"Other mental issues" - try these:
A) anyone whose main purpose on the internet is to create excuses for insulting or demeaning other members
B) anyone who does not comprehend "weight of evidence" and the reality that there will always be conflicting witness reports
C) Anyone who persists in accepting anomalous witness evidence which is outweighed by the body of evidence
D) Anyone who refuses to state/recognise or discuss where certain paths of reasoning could lead
E) anyone who keeps discussions circling in a small subset of evidence to ensure no progress
F) anyone who forces irrelevant leading questions onto other members to create "gotchas"
G) anyone who repeatedly tells deliberate untruths (AKA lies) to further any or all of the above
H) Anyone who......

...has serious problems of personality, self esteem and motivation about social interaction.

BTW how am I going with that list??? What have I missed? :D

JSander, I think this was answered already:



But, since I have several thousand hours on the B757/767 (among others) I can clear this up a bit more.

The A/P will steer to a waypoint, yes of course. In 2001 the United Airlines fleet did not have GPS updating installed. Doesn't matter because the Inertial Reference Systems ('IRS' platforms) can refine position update via numerous methods, what GPS update does is simply provide greater accuracy, compared to VOR/VOR and VOR/DME updating.

Waypoints are stored in a database in memory for the FMC (Flight Management Computer) to access. For the users (pilots) it is simply a matter of typing in the (usually) alpha letters (some may be alpha-numeric, like cardinal latitude/longitude points. i.e., "N20 W30", etc).

But, all this aside, it is far more advanced in terms of training and operational knowledge than the hijackers had, and all they needed to know was basic A/P functions. The use of the A/P is evident on both SSFDRs recovered (AAL 77 and UAL 93). I can't link url addresses yet (need 15 posts) but...hmmm, if I leave extra spaces, let's try:

Why does Balsamo fake a Vg diagram?

He might believe he is making a real Vg diagram. Balsamo finds a prop plane training Vg diagram, photo shops the speeds. Claims it is a 767 Vg diagram and believes it.

Not the first time science and Balsamo failed to communicate.

Balsamo has an overall lack of knowledge. He uses misspellings, hearsay and errors as a foundation to build fantasy.

When it comes to science he is the expert...

Water burning? Or Water doing what Chemically?
I respect common sense, but not common ignorance.
The same super science responsible for Vg diagrams is being used in pilot for truth videos and posts. DVD sales are down, Balsamo is out with his massive band of followers, two, spreading the word of woo.

Thanks beachnut.I knew that P4T as an organisation was more explicitly dishonest than AE911. But I rarely pay much attention to the "aviation' aspects of 9/11 because the two central claims are so obviously false (The planes did end up where they accepted narrative says AND there was neither window of opportunity NOR basis for a legitimate decision to "shoot-down".)

But 'til now I had not realised how little understanding of physics Balsamo possessed.

Water producing energy chemically to power steam locomotives???? That must rank as one of the all time idiocies of 9/11 discussion.

For a person who forges most of his evidence that descent into nonsense physics should be no surprise.

No wonder he concentrates on personal attacks
 
That is very, very illuminating. Seeing the so-called "mind" of Cap'n Bobby Balsamo in full-blown idiot mode, even worse today than I remember from three or four years ago.

He thinks the smoke from the firebox stack of a steam locomotive is water vapor?

Seeing in his "Politics" profile, his location back East...thought he was here in LA?
Oh, and also, wasn't he chucked overboard under that user-name at "DebatePolitics"?

This is the bit that scares me.
Quoted:
No, I am Rob Balsamo, you can find out all about me in my signature. I am Certified by the FAA to fly aircraft... and to teach others how to fly aircraft. Scary.. huh?
 
Yes:
I knew that P4T as an organisation was more explicitly dishonest than AE911.

Always have been. The place hinges solely on the ego of Balsamo, and as is shown repeatedly, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and seems to possibly suffer from some sort of mental illness (though, I certainly am not medically qualified to make a valid assessment in that field).

But, to paraphrase an old ditty: "If it walks like a nut, and looks like a nut, and speaks like a nut, then it's a nut."
 
IIRC, some steam is used to increase the "draw" through the firebox. Iirc, it's injected into the stack and it somehow increases the amount of airflow.
Correct - the space under the stack ("chimney") houses an updraft venturi which draws the airflow through the firebox.


PS - I did a bit of Googling. Try this:

OK, well sure some of the "smoke" includes a portion of steam but...well, the gist of the assertion by Balsamo in the context of the discussion that ensued still shows his abject ignorance on very basic science.

Hardly surprising in light of the overall history of his Internet "submissions".

What is scarier than a terrorist? Pilots for truth's Robert Balsamo teaching people how to fly, with 11.2g precision.

Irony in the signature, like most 911 truth experts... Invite debate, a call out thread, and then put on ignore those who are there to debate. The only way Robert Balsamo can win.

Robert Balsamo and his gang of idiots are SPAMMING the internet with their latest old junk. The Fake Vg diagram is putting in overtime.
 
Thanks for the feedback beachnut.

I rarely cross link between forums but I note this:

Balsamo's primary tactic of debate is personal denigration of anyone who opposes him. And most of his posting "projects" his own shortcomings onto anyone opposing him - a level of offensive personal attack rarely seen on this forum.

Members may see "ozeco41" as one such member accused of 'using personal attacks as their primary "debate style"'

I don't need to defend myself against that silly accusation for members here. Reality is that I have called Balsamo on pure logic. And the member posting as "Sunzi" is clearly expert in aviation matters and has rebutted all aviation related technical claims plus demonstrated some fraudulent and other improper conduct.

Thanks again for the feedback beachnut.



PS Beer score = 3

He has to add you to the list of "constant personal attack", because you use logic and evidence, which to Robert Balsamo is a personal attack.

We need a Glossary on "BalsamoSpeak >>> English"

Preferably English (AU) except all those "B" words which end up as ****** :D


PS I've even seen moderators conclude that "You are wrong" is a personal attack. Rarely applies to either you or I - the chance of us being "wrong",,,,,

What scares me is how he claims to be an flight instructor yet cannot present aspects of the Theory of Flight.
And his G force claims.
Pulling 11.2 g in anything except an aerobatic machine or jet fighter is going to introduce him to a whole new world of aviation for a short while

Would that be attempting to land a wingless fallling machine?

Start with the presumption that it being Cap'n Bob the Great Australian adverb, verb,noun, pronoun and so on is a fitting rejoinder.
It's always fun to go and lurk over there to see what his minions and sock puppets are lying about but I always feel like I need a bath afterward

I still get frustrated that the US language censor seems designed to handicap Aussies but faeces (see what I mean? ;)) it gets boring typing out alternate versions:
Starting with the Great Aussie adjective for something that resembles a haemoglobin rich bodily fluid; OR
needing to suggest that someone's parents were not married at the time they were conceived OR
suggesting that someone should relocate to a place named after a form of sexual congress between consenting adults which was a criminal offence in most of our legal jurisdictions until quite recent times. And that one used as the theme of a Toyota commercial.

Then a typical bit of Aussie conversation is probably unintelligible to anyone from another country except a bleeding Kiwi. And I wont mention sheep.

Try this classic example:



BTW I was born a pom....what's a "Bath"?
