Yeah, I got to ask Rob sometime if it might be possible that the FAA realized that Dennis is SUCH a dangerous person to them, that they REMOVED the very credentials that Rob said he couldn't verify at the FAA. That would make entire sense, seeing as Dennis clearly knows wtf he is talking about when it comes directly to FDR data.
Ya think?

People like Mr Cimino rarely diagnose or fix squat.

Yeah....i don't have a real high opinion of engineers
Oh, and, uh , CS is commonly misunderstood. People on ATS generally think that the boxes are guaranteed to survive any crash

Wait.....your star witness' credentials were never verified? And yet, you believe everything he says?? And because you were never able to verify them, it means he is a threat to the gubmint?? ROTFLMAO
Ladies and gents.....i rest my case.

My God, he says according to the FDR data, that the RUDDER PEDALS WERE NOT USED IN THE TURN!
On all the jets i've ever flown the rudder pedals are used during takeoff and landings at slow speed to compensate for crosswind/engine out scenario.
All other phases of flight in clean configuration an high speed it's feet on the floor.
As waypastvne said the yaw damper will keep turns coordinated without rudder input from the pilots.
American Airlines Flight 587 is also a good example of why the rudder pedals shouldn't be used during high speed.
en.wikipedia.org...
On the other hand i guess Capt. Rob and his crew are used to much smaller hardware where no yaw damper is fitted, or turned off during takeoff and landings.
As for the flight deck door monitoring on the FDR, since it's not mandatory it is a customer option on Boeing airplanes.edit on 28-7-2012 by Ivar_Karlsen because: Fog

Nope, its still called a CSFDR in many places. The CSMU is just one part of the system...along with the SAU, the SDR, and numerous accelometers, and other assorted pick ups for various systems.
And, no, I don't have anything up my butt about engineers or pilots.
Ooooh yippie Mr Cimino is a pilot.....doesnt make him an avionics expert

He is clearly more of an expert than you claim to be. His claims are sourced (unlike yours) and he puts his name to his claims (unlike you).

I saw that the aircraft identification number and the fleet identification number were 00000 for both of the data fields.

Could you show us the direct source for the 00000 in the FDR read out he claims in his video.
Show me the zero's.

Sorry, Dennis Cimino could not decompress the file himself. Warren Stutt did that, so you'll have to ask Warren to show you the actual file structure. His files and source code are available here. Any reputable work will be supported by similar disclosure.

It was the only forensic data we had from any of these four involved airplanes ...none of the flight data recorders from the other three aircraft were recovered.
