Re: Police Chase Involving UPS Truck Ends in Shootout

The bystander killed was a very nice man. He was a field rep for the union that represents various Broward County employees including the airside operations and maintenance staff at FLL.

Re: The Embraer E190-E2 was named Project of the Year by the Project Management Institute

PR-ZIQ (Profit Hunter Circuit Livery) is at FLL right now after spending time in Toronto and Las Vegas. This is the second time they've come here to court a certain local airline.
I'm not sure how they would look in bright yellow.

Re: HURRICANE DORIAN Cancellations, Deviations, and Aftereffects Thread

And its official now that FLL will close at noon tomorrow.

Re: HURRICANE DORIAN Cancellations, Deviations, and Aftereffects Thread

FLL has no official closing time, but most (if not all) air carriers that haven't cancelled all flights yet expect to cease ops between 0900 and noon tomorrow.

Re: A220 sales tour and sales campaigns, 2019

Spirit is headquartered in Miramar, FL. Coincidence?

(Although they actually did bring the Cseries in Swiss colors to FLL on a sales pitch for Spirit a while back.)

Re: South Florida Aviation Thread - 2019

Norwegian started BCN-FLL last Wednesday.

Re: Spirit Airlines Disney Dumbo Livery

This aircraft was also supposed to debut at FLL today, but it was pushed back to Wednesday due to the livery not being ready.

Re: California Pacific attempting to restart, according to founder

One of the E145s they got from ADI (still in ADI logos) is currently parked on IBC's ramp at FLL next to an ex-Glow Saab.

Re: Gulf Coast Airports happenings (MOB, BFM, GPT, PNS, etc)

My mother in Mobile always brings up that they're moving the airport to BFM. I've been pretty skeptical over the years since BFM would need a lot of work (terminal building, ramp, associated taxiways, parking, roadway, etc), but when I was in town last month she insisted it was a certainty. As for M...

Re: Canadian ATC send pizza to US controllers in show of solidarity

Re: Silver Airways ATRs?

N400SV is at FLL residing in a hangar at Sheltair where Silver's corporate office is located. They have been active doing taxi, gate, flight tests. I overheard the crew say they anticipate starting service with it in February.

Re: ARFF Stations

The ARFF station at FLL is roughly midfield between the movement area and the terminal ramp. They park in an employee lot and are shuttled back and forth across the terminal ramp area during shift changes.

Re: FLL to close runway for 6 months in 2019

RWY 10L-28R is in desperate need of rehab after handling all that traffic while on single runway ops. It has a lot of dips and cracks and patches with some areas to be replaced with concrete instead of asphalt. The EMAS on both ends is due for replacement. Confusing extra pavement leftover from the ...

Re: Refueling during boarding/deplaning?

I'm not trying to be obnoxious with my replies, and I'm really not sure what the argument is.

Re: Refueling during boarding/deplaning?

The NFPA does not make laws, they make recommendations that may or may not be adopted into law, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, etc. If the FAA, or the DOT, has not promulgated a regulation, or Congress has not passed legislation, the NFPA recommendation remains a recommendation. And, tha...

Re: Refueling during boarding/deplaning?

NFPA 407 (5.11 is the specific section to this topic) is the regulation used in the US for fueling aircraft. The FAA has some regulations but most of them are specific only about fueler training and refer to the latest edition of NFPA 407 and local fire ordinances for everything else. Basically, fue...

Re: Silver ATR to SJU?

Re: Norwegian Dreamliners departing FLL

Norwegian takes 10L-28R for the departure about 99% of the time, so unless that runway is closed for some reason, it most likely will use it. There's obviously no guarantee. I've even seen Emirates depart on the south runway, but I can not recall when I last saw Norwegian use it for departure.

Re: Aviation Management Degree?

Re: Potential accident involving AC 759 prevented at SFO.

Couple non-pilot questions: 1) Is it normal to turn off the runway lights of a closed runway? To answer this question, yes. While the X is recommended at night, it is not required if runway lights are shut off during a night closure. If there is a need to leave the lights on, then a lighted X is re...

Re: Airports that had potential that never made it

Brookley Field (BFM) had a lot of potential to be the regional airport in Mobile, AL. and a lot of people still would like it to happen since Mobile Regional (MOB) is kind of out of the way and has a bad reputation for high fares (and the worst carpet pattern Ive ever seen).
