Is is not so much the energy it saves as maintenance. LED lights have an on wing time of years instead of a few months.
Jump to postThis was to be expected. Unless you specifically had to be in London at the specific time FlyNonstop would arrive there KLM and SAS still had a superior product.

Jump to postaffirm, a fully loaded DC-3 with an engine failure will not climb. If you want a decent climb rate n-1 you need to limit the payload to about 12 passengers and restrict your fuel load to around 1/3. In the days the DC-3 was designed an N-1 climb rate was not a certification requirement. And there we...

Jump to postKLM might not offer all aisle access; you have to compare the size of the seat.
I.E. JAL offers all aisle seats; but the seat is 180cm and a bit.
KLM offers a 220cm bed. Hence no place for an aisle to the enclosed seat.

Jump to postHi JumboJim747. This is all ready in use at some airports.
i.e. 4 parallel runways will be numbered 25L 25R 26L 26R. But it still doesn't change the fact that mistakes are made the rundays remain in the same direction, only the name has changed.
Yes Jumpjets, the main reason of starting an alliance is not flying to every place yourself however you can send your passengers every where via your alliance partners. If you build your alliance around partners who are not allowed to fly any where, your alliance is going no where. Or should i read ...

Jump to postIsn't that a good enough story?! A beautiful DC3?
There are not that many flying any more and close to none are allowed to carry passengers in Europe..
If Boeing doesn't put a customer code on the aircraft papers it makes it the same as an other 787-8 thus making it easier to certify and register.
Besides, I don't think Boeing allows so many options as a switch in a different direction as before.
I think there is an EMB190 available with a MTOW of something like 50.000-51000kg.
reasonable empty weight of 28000-29000kg + 100 pax&bags for an ZFW around 38000-39000 = 11000kg of fuel
burn around 1750kg/hr gives you 6:30 endurance.
based on 50.000-39000/1750.

First of all; nice discussion, but this will remain hypotheticall, when the technology is there to do unmanned flights, we'll be flying in space first. Second; the majority of accidents may have been to human factors i.e. pilot error; as long as pilots keep preventing planes from crashing more than ...
Jump to post@soon7x7, whatever the volume of traffic is, we are not going to lower the gear for no reason. Flying with the gear down takes a lot of fuel.

Jump to postthe APU is usually not on, but certain operations/procedures could require the apu to be on. for example; if an engine generator is u/s it could be required.
however, in this case it looks like water from the galley or toilet sink.
what worries me are the pilots who do NOT double check, when they feel so. i guesstimate that on a normal leg there is atleast 1 or 2 atc things i have to reconfirm.. either a flightlevel, heading or whatever. but as Assume is the mother off...I prefer to say 'sorry I have forgotten, please confirm'...
