Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-KJK-LGG-OST in 2024

Also, it seems obvious to me that he is well aware: the max. capacity can only be added when fuel tanks are completely empty. Which ought to occur rarely, only after certain maintenance procedures.

Refuelling big birds is different from putting some gas in your microlight, Jan!
Pilots don’t add a certain quantity, they request a certain amount of fuel on board. Automatic shutoff valves prevent overfilling in case max fuel is requested. So pilots taking too much fuel is nonsense, indeed, as Lux_avi wrote. A problem with these shut off valves or the jettison valves probably caused the problem.

Glad you’re there to keep a minimum of standard on this forum, fcw

What then is the sense of

Pilots cannot order more fuel than the max capacity of the tanks

That is the phrase that apparently misled me: it implies that pilots do order a quantity of fuel.

BTW my compliments for your strong memory, but I no longer fly, not even ultralights, for medical reasons.
And my beautiful OO-G86 was sold to an aeroclub that shall go unnamed, and managed to crash it beyond repair only a couple of months later.

FCW already explained. Pilots ask for the amount of fuel they need on board. Not the quantity of fuel to be uplifted.

Still looking for pictures/video of the emergency evacuation.

Still looking for pictures/video of the emergency evacuation.

Why, have you never seen pictures/videos of emergency evacuations before?

Again very long waiting queues at BRU immigration to enter the country this morning. It seems after all this time, still no progress has been made?

Incident from 23th August 2024:

An Air Arabia Maroc Airbus A320 from Tetouan (Morocco) to Brussels was enroute at FL380 about 20nm southeast of Madrid when the crew decided to divert to Madrid after the aircraft's Fly by Wire reverted to Alternate Law associated with the loss of both autopilots and autothrust.

If some people are wondering why Brussels Airlines canceled its flight to Kigali / Nairobi today. It's because there is a stike at Nairobi Airport from workers who agaisnt the a planned takeover by an Indian business group. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3rdg13z1j7o

I guess that the crew shift is at Nairobi and not Kigali and most of all flights between Nairobi and Kigali were canceled so i think it's not possible to send the crew to Kigali to make the crew shift and to operate the flight to Kigali and avoid the stop at Nairobi.

Any idea why?

Sabena Engineering has a maintenance contract for KLM A333 and KLM E175. Those A333s have been coming in on a nearly weekly basis for quite some months now.
