Any of you Aerosexuals out there know if there's a NOTAM for all these flying things for Loy Kratong?
Couldn't find anything on the usual sites..
Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
Never seen any NOTAM for these.

Came close to a lantern departing Hong Kong a few years back. Watched as it passed down the left side of the aircraft at an altitude of around 500 feet.
Would it cause some engine problems. I honestly don't know, but would rather be informed about these things so could delay departure until the potential threat had passed.

Hi,
Opened account at Kasikorn Bank in Central mall Pattaya.
Savings account with platinum debit card.
Passport with tourist visa and hotel address. All done in 15 minutes costing 800 baht.
I didn't open that account as only difference was the insurance which is not going to be valid if your a tourist.
Hi,
Which insurance was that. I can't remember any discussion on any particular insurance requirement when opening it.

Hi,
Any ideas of aircraft and airline.
Need some more hints ... I'm still none the wiser.
Hi David,
On the money with the MD11.
The other one was seen in Sweden. Small Airbus model.

Hi,
Airline and aircraft anyone ?
Looks like a DC-10 to me. I am stumped on the airline. The colour looks like Korean, New Zealand or KLM but I can't find a match to the pattern.
Similar type, newer model. Cargo Europe based.

Don't know about every operator but 10 kts of tailwind is pretty standard for landing. However, there are plenty of airports that stuff aircraft in with winds at (or beyond) those limits. China for one comes to mind.Generally large commercial jets can operate with up to 10 to 15 knots of tailwind, however the performance particularly on landing increases by a large margin.
Large increase is an understatement, Huge increase. Most normal airports operate up to 10 knots down wind as a very general rule of thumb without any issues.
You really learn about down winds when mucking about on skies (snow/ice) and floats (water), things get really 'exciting' really bloody fast.
Hi,
Just had a look at some numbers on landing with tailwinds, using Bangkok as an example with a landing weight of just over 220 tons. Basically for every 5 knots of tail wind the landing distance required increased by 200 metres.
Add to that crossing the threshold of the runway higher than normal then your up against it indeed. Potentially landing with 15 knots of tail wind and crossing the threshold 50 feet higher than normal would have your landing distance increased by approximately 1000 metres.
Tail winds are best avoided for sure.

Hi,
Any ideas of aircraft and airline.
Well khaosai ... I'm stumped ...
I've searched the data base and not found a match for that livery.
Maybe a few hints might be in order ...
Scandinavia is where I saw it.

^^ Fantastic post ...
Seriously, you guys know more about this stuff, then I could ever imagine.
In the case I mentioned ... I knew it was a wind change because a few of the planes I was hoping to spot, tracking their flight path in ... they changed.
No more jets landing over the Farm ... all of them taking off.
It's knowledge like your and the others here that makes it a joy to read.
Cheers ...
Hi David,
Wind direction will be the predominant factor when deciding on the runway in use for both take off and landing. Any significant tailwind will have an adverse affect on the aircraft performance so airmanship will dictate taking off and landing with a headwind present.
On occasion air traffic control may prefer to use a certain runway even when light tailwinds are present. Once certain factors have been established a crew may elect to use that runway ensuring safety is never compromised.
Some issues than can occur are whether the wind direction and speed passed to a pilot are instantaneous or more common is to have the direction and speed issued which was averaged over a time period of let's say 2 minutes.
It can get interesting when given a certain wind speed and direction by the controller only for the display presented to the pilot onboard to be significantly different.
Generally large commercial jets can operate with up to 10 to 15 knots of tailwind, however the performance particularly on landing increases by a large margin.

Hi,
Good point David.
Curtiss is correct. Lovely aircraft.

I would be very surprised if this article was written by a Thai female, and most certainly not proof read by one. Grammar, spelling and choice of words like aphorism to me trigger alarm bells. Cynical maybe, one man's opinion for sure.
