ANZ6397 just departed KUL about 15-20 mins ago, at the Straits now.

we have a DC3 Reg C-FTGX heading to BKI... rare catch??? It is heading to BKI now.. don't know the ETA. Listen to Live ATC BKI feed for clue

resolved.

sounds like WBKK ATC has some problem? few flights on air reported unable to contact the advised frequencies.

For T1 traffics B738/A320 normally they taxi to taxiway Kilo, meaning full length runway used for Runway 02. Sometimes MAS B738 do what AirAsia does, request taxi to taxiway Juliet, so not full length used. Turboprops take Juliet most of the time! save fuel save time why not? As for Runway 20, it is not often used. I only heard full length used by MAS B738 once to taxiway November, the rest normally to Delta. AirAsia & co of course, always to Bravo. Most traffic from T1 are used to departing from Delta anyway during the runway works at the beginning of runway 20. So you don't really need to use full length runways for take offs most of the time. Of course there is a lot of factors to consider... and I am a mere amateur in this. If you go to Changi, the policy is all aircrafts taxi to the end of the runway for full length use, even though you are are turbo prop!. Takes quite sometime I remember!

MD82 PK-OCT making a return it seems from Tai nan. Light isn't good though today... i think.

PK-OCT - MD-82 with a orange tail.

PK-OCT is making a move soon. My database however shows it is PK-LIW B734. FR24 is also showing it as a MD82, but funny enough the picture is a Lion Air B739. Anyone has a visual of this?

Yup, the BKI <-> ICN route was transferred from its parent company Korean Air on the 22/12/14. Doing what SQ does I guess.

Ah ya also...

Perhaps. I think T2 has 7 bays for A320. Not sure how many for A330 if there are a few A320 already definitely not enough parking. They must have informed the passengers that they will be reaching at T1? Imagine the confusion of friends/families picking the passengers of that flight. What? T1? Really? Sure? You flying AirAsia or not? I didn't have the thought that AirAsia can upgrade their flights from A320 to A330 for KUL-BKI leg, like what MAS can do during peak demand. Must be some special reason and a one off???

interesting... wonder whether the XAX's A333 will make a regular appearance here? hmmm... let me try and find out.

9M-MRQ B772 MAS8505 heading to BKI now from Sapporo.

Oh ok thanks or the info

Labuan you are going to have a rare visitor Ilyushin 76 on its way NOW. Ilyushin 76

RMAF is based in Labuan, which is not in Esscom area. And the Hawk attack jets are indeed spotted at Tawau, please see Tawau Airport under Observation Hill.

Hi Dr, If you know anyone at decent locations in Sarawak especially Miri/Bintulu/Sibu/surrounding of Kuching, and interested in hosting a FR24 receiver please ask them to see this link: http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/7384-Malaysia-Radar?p=59533&viewfull=1#post59533 FR24 is keen to expand coverage on all parts of Malaysia, so hopefully more will apply through their website.

Helo to people in Sibu, If you are living at a place with not a lot of obstructions at the surrounding (tall trees/hills/high rise buildings) and is interested to host a fr24 receiver kit please pm me. Stable internet connection needed. FR24 is working to improve coverage in Malaysia, I am just helping to spread the news. Other locations we are keen also is Miri, Bintulu and areas around Kuching. Specifically they hope to close the void for KUL<->LBU/BKI/TWU/MYYI/BRU route over the South China Sea. So if you are near the coast with a good view towards the sea you are most likely to be approved if you apply. Pm me for any queries.

ATC: #callsign, cleared for ILS/Zulu Runway 02 Approach... Hooray! ILS is now up for Runway 02 finally. Now both Runway 02 and 20 of KKIA is back to ILS approach

Calibrator also checking runway 20 ILS approach lights.

From liveatc, calibrator ongoing for runway 02. Departing traffic using runway02 and landing via runway 20. Planes on hold and busier time for kinabalu dca. Hope to have some pics of the calibrator plane in action!

lol future Emirates chartered flights to WBKK.

Nice one Jahur.. quite a rare visitor to WBKK. I wonder why it came for a scheduled refuel? Surely a 777F can make a trip from Dubai to Hong Kong non stop.
