Jet Airways has selected the Airbus A340 as its long-haul aircraft and is expected to sub-lease 3 A340-300s from South African Airways, which were to be delivered NEW to SAA in April and May. Air Sahara has also won rights to operate to the UK and is close to signing a lease deal for 3 A310s from Si...

Source : Boeing Boeing this week rolled out its first 737 without eyebrow windows, the four small windows above the front windshield. In the past the eyebrow windows helped provide better crew visibility, but today's advanced navigation systems have made those windows obsolete. The design change re...

Good to see that they are still flying despite the bankruptcy. Chapter 11 has some good aspects! Chapter 11 isn't the same as bankruptcy! Bankruptcy is the end of the line, Chapter 11 on the other hand is a form of Bankruptcy Protection it protects against creditors during a certain period in which...

Voted for all of you girls & boys !
Will you vote for me too please ?

South African Airways donated one of its first 747-244B ZS-SAN "Lebombo" to the Johannesburg-Rand based SAA-museum. The aircraft touched down on the 1493m long and 15m wide runway at the "hot and high" airport at an elevation of 5568ft (1700m). Knowing that the main gear measures...

Ivan, Yes you're right, I was also on the second flight. But as you can (not) see the movies are made from abeam the wing, that is seat 3A. The guy in seat 1A was Eddy Campers, former employee of D.A.T. and owner (I believe) of the largest collection DC-3 and other propliners-movies. [When a DC-3 ha...

MOVIES : It was THE sensation ! I longed for a DC-3 flight for a very long time, now it finally became reality ! For those who were unable to participate, I made some movies during the flight, altough dramatically reduced in size and quality (must fit on my webspace !) http://users.belgacom.net/sky...

The plane can't depart because of stage II regulations?

The AN124 is fully stage III compliant so this can't be the reason why the plane can't depart.

Maybe off-topic,
but for the record :

Stage x regulations do not apply to military aircraft/flights and relief flights.

Due to construction works on RWY 02/20 and 07L/25R,
RWY 07L/25R will be closed as from 02 august till 23 august.

RWY 20 and 07R will be used for take-off,
(TODA [Take-off Distance Available] 2,647m via TWY B1)
RWY 25L will be used for take-off in exceptional cases for aircraft unable to use RWY 20.

windspeed is in knots = 1 nautical mile/hour
1 nautical mile = 1.85... m/sec

You're mistaken :

1 NM = 1.852 km
so 1 kt = 1.852 km/hr
or 1 kt = 0.514 m/s

I used to experience lots of problems getting my issue of AW, the Belgian distributor (AMP Brussels) seems to 'forget' to dispatch the issues now and then...

Anyway, I solved these problems, I'm subscribed now and I receive my issues by the mailman (he always rings twice hihi), it's cheaper also !

I would like to add that the winddirection might dictate a certain runway. This means that if 02/20 is in use, your capacity is reduced as well (compared to parrallell runway use 25r/25l) Don't forget that "Bertje den Blijter" (Belgian emotional politician) introduced a plan to spread the...

Situational Awereness That's what happened... It occurs very often with Private Pilots, but also with Commercial Pilots! Not knowing where exactly you are, has led to many (fatal) accidents, planes crashing against hillsides or rising ground... Even aircraft equipped with (E)GPWS aren't always fail...

Some people never learn : Always keep your safetybelt fastened, even during cruise !
Too many people got hurt because of (clear air) turbulence...
