@ Homo A.: I don't really care, my assumptions are based on this map, that's exactly what it says on top of the post. So you can tell WSJ that if they're going to publish a map, the most important thing is to get the scale right, but you can't tell me that I should check or not check, when my post ...

Homo Aeroportus, I clearly said "according to this map". Just print it out, take a ruler and measure. The map has a scale to it. Perhaps you should review how you determined your distances or try to demonstrate that the WSJ scale is incorrect, but I'm not wrong or deceiving anybody... Per...

According to this map, the first debris fell 35km from the supposed launch site.... Wrong. Distance between Snizhne and Hrabove : 15 km Distance between Snizhne and Rozsypne : 19 km Distance between Snizhne and Petrpavlivka : 21 km Distance between Snizhne and centre debris area : 17 km Errare huma...

Concerning the above "Ich bin sehr un glücklich in Slovyansk" video, I am very happy to see that, although soldier Elena has no more water at home and must go to the fountain, she had a shower, did her hair and nail and could iron her shirt before expressing so spontaneously her anger befo...

..... the crew was asked to make a detour .... to prevent the risk of collision with another aircraft on the Algiers-Bamako route," the source said. "Contact was lost after the change of course." I checked on Luchtzak.be Doesn't seem another aircraft is reported missing ....... On th...

The new runway is marked with the standard " X " to show it is closed , and both pilots didn't see that ? Tsssss...... Well, maybe worth putting a few facts under consideration. ILS & DME on RWY 27 u/s per NOTAM. APP HI Lights on RWY 27 u/s per NOTAM. Threshold wing bar lights RWY 27 ...

...I don't know if you know the search method. It's very thorough but it's slow. You can't blame them for looking in the obvious places first when an airliner goes missing. Sean please, look at the map. They are now searching everywhere; near the LKP and along the extended path, but also in the Mal...

Wooow, the theories :D They are just searching according to a search technique called "the creeping line ahead", where they will follow a search pattern in line with the projected route of flight, ..... Yeah, and they continued searching so long along that line that they made it around th...

Due to wind restrictions and operational ATC reasons, Brussels Airport is currently operating in single runway operations on runway 01 . Use of single RWY 01 may continue in coming days, leading to possible delays for arrivals as well as departures. Wind ?? METAR: EBBR 101920Z 31005KT 4000 BR NSC 0...

....As for FR24, I think the last signal received was at 35,000 ft. Things just don’t add up here. FR24 say they have a good coverage of the area. Flight ALT goes from FL350 to zero in a blink and signal is lost. An explosion could explain the sudden loss of comm, RDO/ACARS, but this would lead to ...

I believe winds dictated a crossing closer to HNL than usual. You're right Sean. All the flights heading to SFO/LAX from Japan were flying a much Southerly route. Actually flirting with the 37th parallel, about 500NM South of the Great Circle. JAL002 was around N37 W153 when it head South to HNL. T...

.... A Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo to San Francisco has made an emergency landing in Honolulu .... NRT-SFO diverting to HNL?? :? That's way off course, isn't it? I could think of returning to base, ANC, or SEA. Also Midway used to be a last resort (pun intended) for ETOPS in trouble, but I don...

Yeah, even for a "metrically-challenged" person +12T is nonsense.

.... Where do these "pilots" look at during their approaches?!! Well, straight ahead and they see a runway ... :? A few years back I was often on the ground at LIRU, Roma Urbe, used by MIL, Corpo Forestale dello Stato, VVIPs and flight schools. RWY is 1080 x 30 m. Paved. I personally saw ...

Thank you Passenger for bringing this back where it should. This was an accident waiting to happen. When you look at the AD-02 chart, the Note you refer to in your post is very poorly displayed. Actually there are two (2) notes on this chart. "CAUTION/RESTRICTION" appears on the top part o...

Err, a tow truck to tow what?

The whole Dreamlifter down the road?

Red pipes at the ceiling : sprinkling system in case of fire....

Actually the hangar can accomodate simultaneously either 3 Code-C aircraft, e.g. 737, in a mixed tail-in nose-in arrangement, or one Code-C and a wide body such as the 787 or even a 773.
