Dear mvg, I note in your long post above Quote : Here an Atco can work almost like he wants! With no consequence, he/she can give a plane a straight-in approach or give him 20 extra miles because he/she feels like, because he/she is not competent, because he/she is scared, and so on...

Please allow me to post this here. If one needs to link this to aviation let’s say that para-commandos often “go to work” by air. During one of my last trips to Kigali, I paid a visit to the place where 10 Belgian soldiers were slaughtered 25 years ago to the day and I wrote in the condolences book ...

Production of the 737 MAX continues, despite the MCAS-related problems. .... Heading for a real estate issue, no? Where are they going to park all these finished airframes ? They are running the 73 at +50 a month. By compiling the data from Boeing site it appears that the MAX now represents the bul...

No, they can still vacate via C2 as the SN below did minutes ago. About 1200m from TD. Screenshot 2019-03-31 11.21.10.png Screenshot 2019-03-31 11.44.02.png Alternately, use C3 for a safety belt check. Not sure you could vacate via C1 as you'd need to use TWY V1 which is only 20m wide. H.A.

Does anyone know why so many planes are parked in this area? Doesn't seem like it's a temporary parking space. Clearly the Finair and Baltic are moving passengers. I'd the airport so busy this morning or something? Thanks When I flew back from ZRH last week, we were parked on Apron 60 as well. Then...

But there is an important sign here: one Atco accepted the recall in Liège: it clearly shows that some don't agree with the movement.....

For the sake of cost cutting, EW might as well then take over the FRA-ADD from Lufty. Earlier this week, as I kept wanting to go to Mogadishu despite the multiple flights cancellations due to the ATC strike, I finally ended up flying LH to ADD before an ADD-NBO with ET (in a good old 738NG) :mrgreen...

I often visit the B737.org.uk when I am interested in a specific and detailed technical issue on the 73. They have a fairly detailed page on the MCAS : http://www.b737.org.uk/mcas.htm My take is that Boeing as now long lost the "Pilot's airplane" attitude, claiming that with their product the pilot ...

Well, all in all LUX is not a bad alternative. If your flight doesn't leave out of LUX before 10:30, you can leave home the same day. There is a train leaving Brussels at 05:33, arriving at Luxembourg Central Station only 3h17 minutes later, i.e. at 08:50. You then catch the Bus 16 that leaves every...
