Hi,

And another old one

Another.

One more

And another

Hi,

From my recent travels.

A perfect example was your reply to my previous post on the possible cause of the aircraft skidding off the runway. My "blah" as you stated was in response to the topic title of aircraft skidding off the runway.

Khaosai, I'm not recalling a particular post of yours that I responded to on this subject...

I do see this one prior post from you on this subject with a "blah" reference. Here. But that "blah" response came from a different poster, not me.

But, if I'm missing something else where we crossed paths, or you think some info posted here should be clarified or corrected, please do offer your view.

Hi John,

Sincere apologies. You are correct regarding the post.

Hi TG John,

You make lots of good points in your posts which I actually enjoy reading. What is obvious is that you have no experience in the industry and appear to me as an aviation enthusiast which Is great.

What is important is being able to recognise when aviation professionals are pointing out when you may be incorrect in some areas of the posts that are made, particularly posters with obvious engineering experience on modern commercial aircraft.

A perfect example was your reply to my previous post on the possible cause of the aircraft skidding off the runway. My "blah" as you stated was in response to the topic title of aircraft skidding off the runway. I stated possible reasons for the aircraft s departure of the runway surface, which included gear failure as a possible cause however unlikely due to the modern aircraft reliability.

I can't offer any facts on engineering issues, as that's not my profession, but can offer possible reasons for something happening from a crew perspective.

Personally I would have no problem getting on any Thai Airbus or Boeing. All products are fantastic and I would imagine the airline to have high standard in all concerned departments.

Have I made this too hard?

Modified for ferrying?

Looks like a weather radar in the pod.

TBM 700 ?

Lovely looking machine. Any chance of a go in it ?

Hi,

Glad all onboard are safe.

Speculation is inevitable, particularly on websites around the globe. No real problem with that as the facts will be known in due course.

Birds activity is a know threat at this airport. Bad weather is a threat at any airport. Technical issues are a threat to any aircraft. Fatigue is a threat to any operation. Lots of potential factors can spoil your day as both a crew member and passenger.

Directional control can occur for many reasons, and can be a challenge on both take off and landing. It may be caused by asymmetric reverse thrust, tyre, brake or gear failure, engine failure or excessive control inputs.

Modern aircraft are however generally very reliable and system failure happens fairly infrequently.

Weather exists and changes on a daily basis and therefore poses some major challenges to a crew. Wet runway surfaces are generally not a problem in day to day operations and the landing distance required when compared to a dry runway are virtually identical if the correct techniques are employed. The problems arise when the runway surface becomes contaminated and that is a real threat on both take off and landing as 3 types of aquaplaning can occur which all have an effect on directional control.

The preferred runway for landing in Bangkok Is either 01L or 19R. The runway surface is grooved so it makes sense to land here if you have a contaminated runway surface. The safest course of action however is to delay the approach if the threat negatively affects flight safety.

The problems the crew will face are numerous, but major issues include getting an accurate depth of contaminant on the runway surface and getting a reliable braking action report as its impossible for a vehicle on the ground to replicate the landing speeds used by large aircraft. A good source of information if available would be a pilot report from a preceding landing aircraft of comparable aircraft type.

Pitch attitude on landing can be affected by flap setting which may result in nose wheel contact with the runway first which is obviously undesirable. It may well have been a training flight which again can cause potential problems if intervention is not carried out in a timely manner.

And after all your blah, what do you say now!

How about......"Well done Captain, Brilliant job...........shame about the PR team and "why are the two guys that changed the nose wheel assembly last, both nowhere to be found?" (That last bit is a joke by the way )

Well done captain, brilliant job.

Not Maximus (they've closed shop).

Think UK....

Air Atlanta ?

One more.

And another.

Aircraft type ?

Here's one for the hardcore aircraft buffs.

Make?

Model?

Company?

I know but I'm not telling....

Cheers.

Thank God it wasn't Etihad - there'd have been a lot more injured, because they fly THROUGH storms and won't use extra fuel to fly over them.

Hi,

Flying over storms is not the best idea as you may encounter a phenomenon known as ice crystal icing. I would also be very surprised if any crew would knowingly fly through bad weather. In areas with large water masses the thunderstorms are less reflective, thus you need to know how to operate the weather radar correctly.

I don't think it is AMS.

I mean, the plane. Does anyone know the carrier?

Hi,

Surinam airlines by any chance.

Give that man a gold star!

Are you Dutch?

How did you identify it?

Hi,

Not Dutch and never flown with them before, but was sure I had seen the colour scheme when in the states and Europe. Went on google and searched 340 operators flying there and got lucky.

Hi,

It's a big bird for sure. The distance between the outer engines, measured friom the centre of both is just over 51 metres !

Thanks for sharing this vid. LH is one of the better airlines.

Just wondering why at 9:25 number 1 engine reverser isn't deployed.

Hi,

No reverse on either outboard engine on the A380 aircraft.

I don't think it is AMS.

This may interest some, interesting link above in Bangkok.

Will give that a visit when in Thailand next time.

Nice videos.

Great airline Lufthansa, with high standards set in the flight deck. The crosswind video looks fairly sporting. Tricky to get exactly right but rewarding when it works out.

Hi,

Never flown an Airbus, but nice equipment by all accounts. The 380 is a great passenger experience. Give me a 757 and I would be quite content.
