Sabiha Gokcen Aiport

Hello!

Does anybody know what is the fate of Sabiha Gocken airport of Istanbul.

Why was it built? I can't see many airlines operating there.
What is to become of it if there is no traffic?

Thank's,
Nejc

RE: JAT Should Change Name Now!

Hm, I think that in Jugoslavia, now Srbia i Crna Gora (Serbia and Montenegro), slAvic was always translated slOvenski and not slAvenski. Someone mentioned a part of Croatia and this is SlAvonija. I think the name has nothing to do with slavic. Maye some Croatian may know more about this. Regards, Nejc

Hello,

Can somebody tell me, what is the temperature in cargo department of a modern jet aircraft. I suspect that those values have to be somewhere near cabin temperatures, but is that true?

RE: Lufthansa May Add Algeria

I think LH was still flying there in 1998. I had a friend there and I was checking options to visit Algeria. I remember LH was offering a flight but with a 737-500. 737-500 is also the smallest 737 (2nd generation) and this tells you about the low seat factor LH had on Algeria flights. That's why th...

RE: Swiss Control: Tupolev Flew Too High!

Ok, we know that both planes descended. But there is a question making a confusion in my head. Why has 757 TCAS adviced a descent if it had seen that 154 is already descending?

I think that reverse thrust is the same on all Boeings and MDs. That means that throttles are pulled to idle and then to reverse. That means all the way back. There is no advancing. If pilot advances the throttles engines come to idle again. For takeoff: takeoff is always made with precalculculated ...
