Was watching FR24 yesterday with arrivals on both the 09's. A KLM even did a last minute switch from L to R over Windsor!
Jump to postWasn't there a situation - some while ago sounds similar - on descent a vacuum situation arose in the cone so it got crushed like a can?
Jump to postFor the return flight. can they just refuel with standard Jet A, therefore diluting whatever is left of the SAF? United flew a revenue flight with an entire side powered by drop-in 100% SAF, so I'd imagine they didn't completely clean out that wing before it went back into service. That flight was ...

Jump to postHello, I have flown several times but today I experienced something unusual for me after take-off with an A320 from Antalya to Düsseldorf (24F). Shortly after take-off ( https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/xq282#32284be4 either at about the 1st turn or 2nd turn (I can't remember)) the aircra...
Jump to postThe A340 is one of my favorite jets, yet I never could quite know its purpose With the 777-200 coming out 2 years after the A340 and better ETOPS regulations, why did airlines keep buying it until 2011, what purpose did it serve for the airlines that bought it like CX, AF and LH? You answered your ...
Jump to postI know - a speedy conveyor belt....not seen that mentioned for a while!!
Jump to postSeems like yesterday looking on in awe at Farnborough when the 757 & 767 first visited us. 1982 I think when I was 14, with my dad and a pal from school. I remember thinking how odd they looked - they didn't 'look' like Boeings. Many wonderful trips on both over 40 years!!
Jump to postNoticed about 17.45 on FR24 it taxied from the dispersal area to the main terminal - assuming to disembark pax.
Jump to postWhat's not to say it was alcohol free beer? Do you see the label clearly anywhere?

Phew - arrived into LGW yesterday afternoon and was through in no time. Even the E-Gates were working swiftly. Mind you - what a walking slog from gate 101 North Terminal.
Jump to postLooking at Google Earth, if they installed a "04/22" runway they could make it approximately 2,200 meters/7,200 feet. Don't know what the odds of them getting the approvals to do that would be but it looks doable. Co-incidentally to this thread starting, I wondered if work had commenced y...
Jump to postAh, sort of like a radio being tuned in?
Jump to postHmm, will listen again....
Jump to postThat'll be the nosewheel over the centreline lights I'm sure, just before rotation. Lots of bangs and rattles!
Jump to postMay well be returning from diversions? Looking at the weather yesterday, winds from the north 30-40mph in the afternoon at FNC!
Jump to postYou think he opened the door to look out and check gear.....and fell?
Jump to postThat list misses my local airport - SOU at 1723m....Easyjet down to GVA, Volotea to PMI.
Jump to postCan see the Voyager at 20K between Scottish mainland and The Faroes.
Jump to postNo - I suggest you read again! The boys took a ferry and train to London then boarded. What an adventure...
Jump to postVery exciting! Thanks for starting this thread including the pictures. Also, the CEO of the company seems to have stepped down from his role just before the first flight. Strange moment to do so, isn’t it? Wonder what happened… Sold his shares, got his money before maiden flight? Not suspicious lol.
Jump to postairzim wrote:Call me crazy, but that looks like closer to an A320 to me.
Absolutely correct and well done. But it does beg the question - after walk-around has been completed - is there not a quick look at the wing upper surfaces from inside the cabin? Assume not as have never seen. Maybe a wise addition to the checklist? A few years back on an FR738 at Pescara, we had a...
Jump to postI'm still confused!
Jump to postAlways wondered same! SOU is my nearest airport, can never figure that one out. Maybe they need to be over a certain altitude on approach to miss departing Heathrow stuff - so part of descent in the loop?
Jump to postCouldn't see it in the list - but from my childhood - Supertramp, Breakfast in America:
"Take a jumbo across the water, like to see America"
B762 - Excel Airways - torture!
B763 - Monarch, BA, Airtours, Qantas
I only see 1 other mention buried in this thread - Jet2. The Airbus press release back in August gave an 'initial' order for 36 A321neo. They have 90 something in their fleet - all Boeing? Maybe a sizeable top-up - A220's would also make a great option to fly from more regional UK airports for those...
Jump to postI like these threads! Looking at the old flightdiary thing again:
Longest narrow LTN-TLV U2 A320 2240nm
Shortest wide the old IST-DLM TK A333 295nm
Just out of curiosity. Why do we always seem to see them peering out of hatches and doors when on the ground manoeuvring? Is it a US thing? Are they on a mic to the flight deck? Can't say I've noticed it on any other country's air force transport type aircraft.
Jump to postI love these little A.net mysteries. Just a guess. When the outer section of the inboard flap extends, it gets pretty close to the engine nacelle. Could it be a simple pressure relief that diverts some that air through the exhaust when flaps are deployed? I would imagine without, there would be some...

$1820 plus fitting for a plug.....what's it made of?
Jump to postWould love to see B6 offer a LGW-PVD summer seasonal - a dream route for me!
Jump to postShame it wasn't a girl. Delta Dawn would have been the obvious choice!
Jump to postMeanwhile in the Sardinian winter/off season October- April - they do what with this fleet?
Jump to postGreat news! Any update on the runway extension application at SOU?
Jump to postI'm sure they agreed on a sweet deal that would see Airbus in favour again once things start getting back to 'normal'.
Jump to postIMO, if in the future an aircraft does end up in a ditch/ravine and this risk was not taken on board then the Airport could be taken to the cleaners. Well at least now the FAA and airport are aware. The airport is public ownership no? Bit different to here in the UK. Even if they didn't reconfigure...
Jump to postthis is taxiway, not a runway. who will install EMAS at the end of taxiway? Maybe PIT or other other airports, after the inevitable does happen. They are really only glorified cinder blocks after all. At relatively slow speeds you probably only need to catch the nosewheel. Can you imagine what the ...
Jump to postWouldn't a relatively cheap and simple solution be to place EMAS blocks around the perimeter of these vulnerable areas?
Jump to postOkay, I'll bite too. A theory for MAS370?
Jump to postAm I correct in thinking that this remarkable incident was what brought Twitter to worldwide awareness? Not sure why I recall that!
Jump to postBut Captain Joe doesn't really explain it, as I mentioned much earlier in this thread.....Caltech replied earlier with: 'Interesting note, the 767 has the unusual tendancy to pitch down quite rapidly during landing, which is why the MLG on the 67 is tilted forwards. Upon touchdown, the MLG straighte...
Jump to postHave always wondered this, even with Cap'n Joe on his channel explaining. I get that gear is sometimes actuated to a position to get it in the gear bay, but doesn't explain why some are toe first, some heel. Also - that A340 gear swing vid. If you notice, the gear shortens as it retracts. Why can't...
