its crazy how far apart the inspection of the engine pylons are, 72-month intervals

#

but i did hear that it is quite hard to do inspections on the engine pylon, since its just buried and quite awkward to inspect

ivory pendant
#

and the actual aircraft, N259UP had nearly 93k hours

#

which is just insane

#

but it being cargo i doubt would be shocking

#

BRU airport is going on strike, NO passenger flights are leaving Tuesday

ivory pendant
#

oh damn

#

whats the reason behind it?

thin apex
# ivory pendant whats the reason behind it?

national strike from the transport sector, 3 days for trains/trams/metros etc, only tuesday for the airport
they're striking against different things, mainly retirement age going from 58-60 to 67 so pretty major

thin apex
#

slightly sub-optimal

ivory pendant
#

Kinda funny watching it just spin around

#

What is that like a rag or something?

#

A380 central at my local airport

#

QF12 and QF8 diverting to brisbane, probably ran outta fuel

#

Rip ground crew

thin apex
ivory pendant
#

Interesting

#

We never get 747’s lol

#

But a daily a380

thin apex
#

probably because brisbane is slot restricted a bit more ?

ivory pendant
#

We used to have 2 daily A380 flights but the axed one because there wasnt enough passengers

ivory pendant
#

Well a 747-8 that is

thin apex
#

it happens often

ivory pendant
#

We had the E-4B doomsday plane at brisbane in 2023

✈️ In Germany, two passengers tried to catch their plane… by running onto the runway
︀︀
︀︀At Cologne/Bonn Airport, two Romanian passengers pulled off a stunt straight out of Mission Impossible. After missing their Wizz Air flight to Bucharest, they smashed an emergency exit, ran onto the airfield and tried to chase down an Airbus A321 already taxiing toward the runway.
︀︀
︀︀Security footage shows the men waving their arms and sprinting after the aircraft with its engines running and beacon lights on. Airport staff quickly detained the duo and handed them over to the police.

#

Basically the elevator aileron computer needs to be replaced

#

I dont think its for ALL a32x’s though, just the ones with the certain software update

ivory pendant

Some need to rollback to an earlier software and some need the computer entirely replaced

A350’s sound supraisingly good

thin apex
#

@ivory pendant coming from HHN airport for some reason ?? Really weird

#

No registration either

ivory pendant
#

Prolly opted out of public tracking via programs like FAA LADD

#

National airlines 747’s frequency do that because they carry military personnel

ivory pendant
#

Cost effective, reduces wear on military planes and also has large capacity and range

#

Under contract through Civil Reserve Air Fleet

Question for those that have been on planes. I can ask for a trading card or challenge coin or something of the sort, yes?

ivory pendant
#

Yeah ofc

#

Its most common with American carriers i think

#

You can also ask to sit in the cockpit when you’re deboarding

royal lion
#

I did see that American Airlines offers a Concierge Key Tag made out of metal from the MD-80

#

That's the airline I'll be flying out to Nassau with

You can own your very own piece of a B-29 for only $115

I was completely clueless at the time but i caught this seemingly normal 747F last year while in Vietnam. I had a look at it again today and found out it was the LAST ever produced 747-300

The a380 and 747 were born in a segment where planes needed 4 engines for long journeys and where fuel efficiency wasn’t such a concern
