.... Scientific proof should come from the deciphering of the black boxes. The Cockpit Voice Recorder should give a definitive answer to that question.

If hit by a missile, the CVR will probably not have recorded more than the letter B from Booooom.

I checked the FR24 data for the same flight PS752 of these last days. There is a fair consistency between all these flights. Nothing pointing towards anything specific to the flight on 08JAN leading to the crash. Flight Path. Lat-Long coordinates no to scale. PS752 Flight Path Coord.png Consistent w...

Flight path per FR24. Similar to previous UIA flights up until near the end where the data stopped being transmitted (green line and dot), 3 minutes after take-off. The red circle marks the crash site which is about 16km in a straight line from the last XPDR transmission. IKA airport in the bottom r...

Followed a couple of hours later by the Smurfs, same destination.

I have never been at Khartoum Airport, but it seems to be a funny place to be:

It seems their IT Department wasn't prepared for the Y2.02K bug.

SN552 (YYZ-BRU) weer gecancelled gisteren. Brussels Airlines hinkt op 1 been naar het einde van de lijn... Zat gisteren op SN551 (BRU-YYZ) en niets speciaal gemerkt Any insides wat er mis was? Foreign object damage found after arrival of the 551 in Toronto. Two fan blades were damaged and out of li...

With the same caveat as mentioned before: a NOTAM can be pulled (cancelled) in a matter of minutes, so this extensions doesn’t really mean anything in terms of an expectation. You are perfectly correct. And I can only hope that my statement did not mislead anyone into thinking that the B7M8-9 will ...

Hopefully they'll correct the spelling before entering in the Trivia 2020 ....

What's up in Abidjan?


I seem to remember that Macron was touring the area today. Blocking all Ops for his departure?

or this is a way to put pressure on FAA to (re)certify asap ..?? H.A. I don’t think so. The FAA cannot be that wrong twice. Fully agree with you concerning the FAA; they will probably be much tougher than they have been. But Muilenburg has been very pushy about a return to service by "end of Septem...

OO-SFU operating SN371 to DLA diverted to Kano. Landing there at 16:50Z, first take off attempt 4 hours later followed by a return to the apron. Another hour later she took off for Douala. 4 hours grounded + another 1h after a dry run on the runway may point towards a technical issue rather than me...

According to the Wall Street Journal, Boeing will suspend production of 737 as from January. https://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-to-suspend-737-max-production-in-january-11576532032 Either they are really unable to store another 40 airframes a month, after having already done so for +400 examples, o...

... One good news though : OO-SFX that was in AMM since end of October for cabin fit is planned to run SN465 BRU-KLG tomorrow 12DEC . Fingers crossed. If you fly to KGL tomorrow, check your gate to be a T one.... H.A. According to FR24 SF X is still in Amman. Will not run SN465 to KGL tomorrow ; re...

Interesting mix of flights, H.A. MAR BRU-FRA-ADD-NBO LH-LH-ET March was a bad month to fly ET. 737MAX? Did you narrowly escape the worst? No, no prob. Yes I flew the same ADD-NBO but it was 3 days after the crash and on a (good?) old 738. Actually, I was to fly BRU-ZRH-NBO but because of the Belgia...

Always difficult for me to book well ahead but for once : Booked next week ;) : BRU-GVA GVA-BRU and that will probably be it for the year since the old carcass needs a break. Flown in 2019 : (from freshly recovered connection with M&M web site, hence no flights with other alliances or non-civ). FEB ...

OO-SFH is already in AMM, flew there straight from HKG end of November.
Don't know though if only for Mx or cabin refit.
