Anyone in the industry knows that they are the least respected employees in the aviation community. They want us to think that lives are in their hands, but they won't acknowledge that it is the maintenance departments that make jets safe for flight. If their "skills" are so important, why are there switches/buttons in the cockpit for Autopilot, Autoland, Takeoff, GoAround, Autobrake, Autospoiler, Autoslat??

Once the plane has stopped and the doors are opened, the pilot can go (stagger/swagger) home and be assured he has nothing to worry about. The AMTs responsible for the airworthiness of the plane are held responsible for their work for years after the work is complete. Even if someone comes behind them and screws it up. Even if they leave the avaition industry. If the auto pilot fails on commercial airliners...no need to panic. There are backup systems.

At any given time, there are tens of thousands of lives flying on the work of each AMT who has ever worked on the jet.

I was in a discussion in a 1L class in which we talked about a guy who, on his way to board an airline, slipped in the airport (airline's negligence), fell, hit his head and died. But the plane he was on loses an engine (i.e. O'Hare, 1983) and crashes, everybody killed. I said "well, does it matter that there HAVE been airline crashes in which there was a single survivor, and he could've been that survivor?" However, I couldn't find a statistic which listed the odds of being a sole survivor. but i DID find 2 specific incidents, One in January 2006 and one in August 2006. Does anybody know this?

Please, limit your response to the question at hand, not my argument presented.

You can include the MD-80 and Boing 717(produced after boing bought out Mcdonnel Douglas) with the DC-9 as they are all newer versions of the DC-9.

Many thanks to all the responses to my previous posts. I have a followup question or two for engineers or helicopter buffs.
Would a small jet engine, mounted horizontally and suitably armored, in the tail provide enough thrust, be throttleable and be available to power up to full throttle in a matter of seconds to offset LTR. I've seen small jets offered by various companies for models that produce around 100 pounds of thrust and weigh only around 30-35 pounds. You could incorporate existing fuel lines from the main engine to run them and develop a system of control that is either determined by existing pedal inputs or a backup system of hand control or computerized input in conjunction with a gyroscopic mechanism as found on the wheeled single-person transport of the Segway and others. It appears that most LTR situations offer a measure of warning for a pilot to initiate the backup system. All responses welcome and thanks again.

I'm researching what would be involved in generating temporary thrust for helicopter tail rotors for a system to be implemented in case of tail rotor failure or damage. I'm looking for specific links to find information on what amount of thrust..percentage wise or general amounts..are needed for operation of a military helicopter like a Blackhawk or any other smaller models. I'm interested in developing an emergency thrust device or system for loss of tail rotor function in combat or civilian use. I envision a jet propulsion system built into the tail and properly armored that is controlled by computer to alter it's amount of thrust as necessary depending on inputs from the pilot for course correction. Or a system of thrust vectoring of the primary engine exhaust. Such a system would provide emergency backup manuevering in the event of tail rotor loss or malfunction to provide ample time for evasion and descent in a controlled manner for both civilian and military helicopters.
