2-3-2 for J 😑😑

There for Farnborough. 9M-AJA on the way there via BAH. Heard best low cost airline for the 8th year

The correct decision is when everyone is safe, airplane in one piece. Anything else does not matter.

Back to square one

Bayu Air

The other way round rather.

HAHA come I'll buy you a Coke Zero, better than Diet Coke

AirAsia X ending Narita

CX provides very attractive fares for flight out of HKG from KUL. Believe a lot of pax on CX flight do not have HKG as their final destination.

They're usually very quick, depending on your location (Subang should not take too long) Perhaps it will be more useful if you were to publish the dates you're coming, someone might be free to bring you out and about.

faster approach speed, more landing distance (less stop margin), brake overheat (tyre burst). It won't cripple the gears if done correctly but typically the aircraft will be pulled off service for a thorough structural check, which might mean days/weeks grounded hence loss of revenue. Which is why typically for a less urgent technical fault, they will burn/jettison fuel until their below their max landing weight. The minor fault can then be fixed and plane can resume service.

I seriously doubt so

On AHR yesterday morning, have WIFI .

IMHO, the FBW flight envelope only provides protections to its namesake; overspeed, stall , excessive G etc, even so the pilot will be able to override the said protections if he wants to. Terrain avoidance will be under a different system, the GPWS & EGPWS. However it only supplies the bells and whistles. The autopilot will probably disconnect at one point close to ground and if without any pilot intervention it will just fly to the ground.

Thanks for sharing Suzanne !! I can attest to the bus situation, took it for a mere glorifying 100m tops!

Rumour has it they're getting one for YDPA.

He want to raise stock prices only

MH136 is taking off in the roll, the other plane was supposed to land after the MH. Think the landing traffic went around and if the MH would have taken off they'll be converging on the same path.

Must be a really slow news day.

Glad the haze wasn't that bad!

ATC will randomly assign a squawk number to the aircraft, the pilots will then input and therefore "assign" the given code it to the aircraft he's flying. Without the squawk code and the transponder, aircrafts will just be a tiny blip on the screen, with it it will show the callsign, height, speed etc (depending type of transponder used) on the radar screen. Like the flight above, from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney, what happens normally Lumpur ATC will assign MH143 with a squawk number upon receipt of clearance. Most probably as it switches over to Singapore ATC there is another aircraft under Singapore's control which shares the same squawk number, as such it is instructed to squawk 2147 instead to avoid confusion.

still got, at least it can be prebooked online.

I can attest to point number 1. Was at K8 3 days ago waiting for my flight, heard those sounds that seem to have come from the ceiling. Felt like the ceiling is going to collapse anytime.

Fly other airlines, you'll save the RM3
