It is repairable, but the frame is 34 years old. Frame has got a big cabin refurbishment in January of this year, so that does make the decision harder.

Nice idea!

I get an error when logging in (lemm.ee):

The server returned a "500 Internal Server Error".

Agreed. Until I read this post, I was under the impression that it was from the original Reddit-versions developer.

As already suggested, Lemfinity sounds nice!

Yes. This will take some time to repair and re-certify the aircraft (among pressure hull tests). Tailstrike damage is a fairly common type of repair, but this damage is quite extensive and will take some time.

The aircraft is brand new (1.3 years) so the chance of getting repaired is high.

Also looked for it, but did not find it. I guess it is JetBlue / FAA internal only and only this frame from the clip was released.

Some basic explanation of what it does, how it works and why you think it is great would be nice to hear from an insider :)

Cool! Care to post something on this community with some more explanation? Would love to hear more about it ☺️

Could be. The frame is 32.4 years old. It did get an (extensive) cabin upgrade/refurbishment in January of this year. This could be a contributing factor in repairing the aircraft. A Delta 757-200 also [got a hard landing with a crumpled frame. See the photos. That frame was repaired.

Hahaha, sorry, not a native english speaker. Ofcourse: autobrake. :-)

Correct. It is also used for performance calculations. For example to calculate what Autobreak setting should be used based on the runway length, METAR and landing weight.

I know Airbus aircraft calculate the "EFOB" (End Fuel On Board) in the MCDU. A pilot can calculate the Landing Weight based on the EFOB number by looking at the current weight and calculating based on the EFOB what the landing weight would be.

I am curious as well. 32.4 years old. It did get a cabin refurbishment in January 2023, so this makes the repair/not repair decision perhaps a bit harder.

Haha, Google the registration (N757HW) and you will find some nice additional photos from other angles of this aircraft. Some photo-angles definitely look like if the aircraft is not real.

How would this aircraft behave in-flight? With the added drag on the 3rd-wing side, the aircraft will most likely pull to that side. Imagine flying a cross-wind landing and having the added drag. Nice pilot challenge ;-)
