Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 I heard it is an A330. If anyone from KCH can go to the airport now, you probably can see it. I don't know when the airport will be open again, as of now I am still in SIN having coming in from KCH earlier this morning.I departed at 11 am, there was an A330 on ground then. But I only got the news of the airport closure only here in SIN. Any news let us update each other. A/c is 9M-MKE. Thanks Delwin. Can get some picture?

LeeCH 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Captain Radzi, I was thinking along the lines you will be in WSSS today. Funny feeling. You happen to have your Canon in your bag? Let your F/O take the sector out of Singapore and when you taxi on EP for departure on Runway 02C looking at Cargo parking area you will know why. Quickly go go go...why/ Because I just came back from HKG mid noon on SQ 001 and I saw something huge there. I got some pics...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) My a/c is now stuck at F30. Saw the tail at the cargo apron, is it at the 02L/20R side? Went to T1 but still can't see much. Think the earliest dept window will be 1600 LT. Edited February 19, 2006 by Radzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeCH 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 It is at the side of 20C/02C. You will see it on your right if you taxi south on Echo Papa. Its huge man.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 U turn was made because taxiway A was closed due WIP. Not really U turn, only 90 degree. And a U turn at end of runway due to no parallel taxiway. Not sure if a/c was disabled at intersection B or end of runway, Ignatius, Delwin, help me on this. A330 pushed back right after me, I went out at 11 am. My schedule was 1110. If I was on time or late a bit I would've been stuck in KCH instead. Know about the incident frm staff in SIN. Finally arrived back in KCH at about 1730. WBGG is a picture of chaos today, with all bays occupied and a/c waiting for bay. The spillover effect is wide ranging. Fitri Shukri SMS me, saying he was stuck in KBR for 5 hrs. Finally continue his journey by car instead. Hope tomorrow will be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeCH 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Seems that Fung Keong rubber at work again (or perhaps omething else which leads to it). Second time in a short timespan an A330 grounded. Must have been some technical problems as the pilots are all trained to do a proper 180 degree turn. 90 degree turns should never be an issue altogether as it is a common day to day manuever. Let's wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
