Anything to do with the FOIA is a different issue. I've pointed out the Captain's physics claims are nonsense. The response has been that it doesn't matter if his physics is nonsense because ... and then you all trot out some other issue.
Fact of the matter is that his torque calculation is flawed to the point of being ridiculous. No one has rescued it. It's dead Jim.
I rest my case.
Are you mad Bones? The lawsuit in response to the denial of FOIA request is the entire purpose of this thread. You were the one setting on about misdirecting it toward a scientific discussion. I remind you of the title of the thread... Retired Airline Pilot sues NTSB for "Zoom-climb" data.
His disagreement with NTSB is probably as scientifically unfounded as you contend. That, however does not alter the point of the post which was to discuss the lawsuit resulting from the denied FOIA request. That denial was made NOT on the basis of the scientific data in question, but only on the basis of safeguarding proprietary information belonging to Boeing.
In the linked article, Boeing claims no proprietary information was used to construct the NTSB assessment. Since the data seem non-proprietary, there is no reason to withhold the information. Lahr is only after the data supporting the conclusion. Lahr is probably more wrong than even you want to claim, but why do you resist so, the release of the information the NTSB used to construct their scenario?
