They've been calling it fake and have deleted most/all the posts referring to it, including the ones from the guy who claimed to work for Airbus UK who said he'd checked and they were indeed pylon drains and that Easyjet's explanation was correct.

It sounds like the natives are getting restless. There were a few posts asking how they can have correspondence from Airbus saying the pipes aren't fitted at the factory when Airbus' own video shows that they are.

They're really backed into a corner and don't have any choice but to cover it up. As one poster pointed out it's on their leaflet and they've had 200,000 of them printed.

Are you going to add all these airlines to your court case Ian? Or have we just saved you a lot of embarrassment and money?

I vote "Yes!". But, that's just me......

ALSO if I might add....it bears a repeat, at this juncture.

All assertions of these Pylon Drain pipes in the engine struts as a "method" for distributing some sort of "chemicals"?

NEVER has "Look-Up" managed to address the actual other implications.

(1) The added "payload" to the total Operating Weight and CG of these airliners (those knowledgeable in aviation will grasp this significance immediately);

(2) The "mechanisms" (that have not been shown to exist) to 'spray' from these Pylon Drains. I mean, the full "plumbing", to include the "storage tanks", the "pumps" and associated lines to feed these alleged "chemicals" to be "sprayed". (I mean, in ALL of the Airbus documentation, where are these "systems"?;

(3) The Flight Deck (or "cockpit") controls for these alleged "systems"? (The faked videos and photos do not count as "evidence"....).

Correct: This was just published today. 5 tonnes of Aluminium oxide takes up a little more than 1 cubic metre. How long of a visibly dense "chemtrail" are you going to get from a volume such as that? Yet that unaccounted for weight almost caused an accident. The whole theory is absurd!!

Well done that pilot. I take it they wouldn't have realised something was wrong until they tried to take off?

For audiences in the U.S.

"5 tonnes" is equal to 5,000 KILOGRAMS...converting to pounds.....ONE kg = 2.2 pounds. (ETA: IS this correct???)

Nope...5,000 kg = 11.000 pounds.

{Pilots who fly using what are (sorry) U.S. measurements are more familiar with measurements in "pounds"}. This is what I tend to be most familiar with. No disrespect to our other fellow pilots. It's just....I need to convert, either in my head or using online math tools.

BUT!!! The point (of payload, weight & balance, and airplane performance capabilities) remain the same, REGARDLESS of the weight units used...."pounds", "tonnes"....or "metric" units.....just do the conversions, and understand the FACT that sometimes these conversion factors are used to "confuse" people. I've seen it employed, previously.

BUT OF COURSE....back to topic! "Pylon drains".....yes, MOST modern jets have them, although the "problem" here is....not "every" engine installation the the Airbus A-320 is the same.

THIS is an issue that Mr. Ian Simpson should (please) read more about. It is something that ALL airline pilots understand....adding....(as a personal aside):

Perhaps Mr. Ian Simpson, IF he happens to read this some time, might wish to follow some suggestions/advice that I have offered before:

I suggest for those who think that "chem"trails are 'real'....I suggest that those individuals take a bit of effort and GO TO AN AIRPORT...a major airport (of course). And seek out some 'obvious' airline pilots (I say 'obvious' because they are in uniform).

Some of these pilots that you approach might just laugh in your face. But, others may be "Human" enough to feel, and to actually recall how "they" used to teach....and be empathic enough to reply (if they have a few minutes to spare).

Really, THIS is the best way to dispute this ridiculous "chem"trail nonsense.....once you have the opportunity to "seek out" and ask actual pilots (who you can verify, visually) and then ASK them....when they have a few minutes of "down time" (I guarantee that we ALL have those minutes, at some point!!).

OK....let's play with this.

Imagine (and we haven't even described, yet, some sort of liquid medium to facilitate the "spraying" of this (imaginary) "chemical":

NOW WHAT???

HOW is this "so-called stuff" 'dispensed'????

There are NO tanks, nor plumbing, nor ANYTHING on ANY airliner. (ONLY a few "videos" taken from Ground Level). Along with the (already disputed) "pylon drains" claim.

Sorry. ACTUAL airline pilots (and no....I realize that it's not "OK" to profess experience...but, well....I profess experience ...SORRY @Mick West). I think that 'TWCobra' complies within this category as well. I know that it "pushes" the boundaries of evidence, in terms of "Argument from Authority" as a potential jeopardy....but, well. YOU be the "judge".

lol.. What's he talking about? Attacked by whom? Is he referring to people posting critical questions that keep him busy deleting anything that compromises his chem-pipes-theory?

I hope sooner or later the penny will drop.. But will he be man enough to admit his error? I guess in many ways the chemtrail belief is like any religion in that if you have to admit to one error, that may open the floodgates and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down (that's enough metaphores I suppose eh?). Too deep in the rabbit hole he is!

There is another possibility in that he is just going through the motions. Perhaps his donate guideline and appeals are paying off quite nicely and he has to keep the wheels in motion?

Sadly this type of conspiracy can suck in those with mental illness all too easily. Has his style and theories hit the right button with several solvent believers?

Of course he has the usual confirmation from Bowing ( :rolleyes: ) that these pipes aren't part of the original design

Could all go horribly wrong if one of these were to fail

Background:

The FAA received reports of failure of the drain tube assembly and clamp on the aft fairings of an engine strut. Such a failure could allow leaked flammable fluids in the drain systems to discharge on to the heat shields of the aft fairings of the engine struts, which could result in an undetected and uncontrollable fire.

Dang!

Proof once again elusive due to mysterious "stuff going on in the courts" which is, of course, totally believable
and in no way sounds like a lame excuse for why--once again--actual evidence is just...beyond...our...reach... :rolleyes:

I guess we'll just have to wait for it all to be revealed.
 
You know, "stuff" happening in court is public record. The actual stuff may not be, but the fact that stuff is there is something you can just look up. Anyone know what jurisdiction they fall under?

I could probably find that out myself, but... Well, this is the very sort of behavior that the term "lawlsuit" was created to describe, and I hate wasting my own time.

Ian is London based
 
Look-up.org.uk have released their "UK Climate Engineering Dossier 2014" which was apparently handed in at Downing Street on Saturday 27th.

It's basically a compilation of their previous claims, most/all of which I believe have already been debunked. It may merit a separate thread with a blow-by-blow debunking of each point made, but that's for someone far less feckless than myself ;)

I know a few of us were keen to see the "Airbus evidence" of pylon drains being non-standard, and on that point Ian has this to say (quoted for the purpose of critical review :) ):-

Section 7
External Quote:
Those pipes are not standard to the design of the aircraft. We know this to be the case, at least for Airbus, as Airbus recently confirmed to us that their aircraft do not leave the factory with pylon pipes.
Section 19

External Quote:
Industry sources have tried to explain the true purpose for the pipes, but failed miserably and contradicted each other. This paints a very poor impression of the industry and suggests a very high level of confusion and fear about what to say about the pylon pipes, which in turn suggests that the industry itself is not to blame here, but in fact under great pressure to cover up their existence from external forces. Airbus initially admitted them, but as soon as I hinted at this fact online, they clammed up and denied it, and even reverted to trying to change their story. Someone had spoken to them.
The "evidence" that Airbus provided that supposedly could not be released to the public due to legal reasons is not shown or referenced, other than the claim that Airbus "clammed up". If the evidence was presented, along with Airbus changing their story, then surely it would demonstrate that Airbus may be attempting to cover things up?

In short, Ian/Look-up.org.uk has once again failed to present anything contradicting the freely available evidence from Airbus that these are standard, factory fitted pylon drains. Further, it seems the "proof" is so sensitive that even the Prime Minister of the UK can't see it.

Ian also quotes the following response from Ian Davies at EasyJet which Ian describes as "very interesting", but doesn't actually say why:-

External Quote:
"These are standard production fit on all Airbus A320 aircraft which is the first thing to clarify and there purpose is to vent and drain engine Pylon compartments in the event of any leakage of pipes hoses and valves contained within these areas. The leaks could be hot air from the engine bleed air system, fuel, as fuel feed pipes run through the compartments and lastly hydraulic fluid if any of the hydraulic system components have failed. It is important prevent the compartment flooding which could be a fire hazard in such a hot area. Al commercial aircraft are required by design regulation to have a venting system."
The only interesting thing for me is that it precisely matches what other sources said the "pipes" were. Perhaps examples of the industry "failing miserably" to explain them would have been useful?

That part really puzzled me, too. Why has Ian quoted this email, when it perfectly explains what the pylon drains actually are? Does he not understand what the email actually says? It seems very odd that he would include an email response that basically blows his "spray pipe" theory out of the water completely.

It's a huge Gish Gallop. Pretty much all his points have been fully explained before. A point by point debunking would just be a huge mess. Better to have a single post that acts as an index to the more detailed debunking of the individual point.

I'm not sure it's a good use of time though. His points are generally so silly - like claiming "Mammatus" is a new type of cloud, that the "report" really has no credibility.

Some of it makes so little sense, that it's actually confusing to debunk. Like his puzzlement as to why hole punch clouds are "sprayed" only in thin layers of clouds.

I agree about confusion from debunking. When SO many things are SO wrong it just makes it look like there is a real argument taking place if you try to address them all. The chemtrail movement has become SO convinced that there is SO much evidence on their side, that anything you do just reinforces their notions.
 
It's such a mish-mash of fabrication and misinformation that I doubt there's much chance of him receiving the response he demands within 28 days. No chance whatsoever that they will "officially and publicly acknowledge the issue".

Deliberate CO2, "smoking" airliners, Morgellons, pylon drains, made up clouds - the same old baseless guff presented once again.

Did anyone else notice he completely avoided using "chemtrail" within the text?

Ray Von
 
I believe 'climate engineering' is the preferred nomenclature these days, because it sounds more like the legitimate concerns regarding climate change. I think the theory is, get them hooked before you talk about chemtrails and they'll ignore all the shill sites denying their existence.

It is increasing difficult to know how to appropriately respond to such bunk (not your post of course)....but how to respond to the use of easily refuted facts that are being mis-represented today.

Not (again) to represent an 'argument from authority' but I am old enough to recall when United Airlines in the late 1970s-to early 1980s were keen to re-fit their DC-8 fleet with quieter AND more fuel-efficient engines. They had a large DC-8 fleet in inventory. New United States EPA regulations were being imposed...on 'NOISE' primarily. The era of the older engines that used to power the DC-8s, the normal "turbo-jet"....(which was extremely noisy)...was over.

Though? That type of engine (the older 'turbo-jet' style of engine) did NOT create many persistent contrails as often as the modern High-Bypass engines do, which are ever more common....well, they are the only ones, now!....hmmmm....isn't that interesting?

(Editing to the topic): Of course turbine engines have had drains of various sorts ever since they were invented! They are there for specific purposes, relative to the operation of the specific engine. Nothing more, nothing less. You can ask any pilot who has been trained on the airplane equipped with those engines, or any aviation mechanic with experience working on those engines. The answers will remain the same.

Well, not to quibble....the range of conditions for contrail formation, meaning temperature and altitude variances when considering the modern high-bypass turbo fan engines, compared to the older low bypass turbojets?

Two aspects....the change in engine design, and the increase in actual flights, overall. These tend to have contributed to the increase in observed contrails, and especially persistent contrails, over a few decades.

I never implied that the older turbo jets could 'not' make a persistent contrail... (they did, as proven by other sources).

(Edit) - Again....this thread is about pylon drains as a so-called 'source' of so-called "chem"trails?

Well, this has been beaten to death already....astonished that it still 'comes-to-life'....
