Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks Waiping... Wonder what the reason is for that? Too close to the Jalan Kepayan perhaps?? it should be seldom got aircraft use full runway to do landing. and rwy20 seldom in use. for MH 737, MasWings, and other T1 operator mostly make their stop and vacate via Golf intersection.

Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks Waiping... Wonder what the reason is for that? Too close to the Jalan Kepayan perhaps?? 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!

I'll be rare to see a full RWY 20 departure unless BKI has widebody flights doing long haul with RWY20 active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 Just wanted to update this thread. PK-AXS ex 9M-AFK (Wow or fondly known as Angry Bird) livery. With direct flights to CGK and DPS we hope to see all 3 QZ special livery very soon - PK-AXA, AXS and AXY. Also, AK will start BKI - CEB soon on 27 March. So hopefully can catch the RP-C8988 apart from RPC-8974. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeqa 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2015 the new RB livery suits better on the Dreamliner to be honest. I think it's due to the lines of the 787.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) wow what a catch Waiping. I wonder whether it came from USS Bonhomme Richard but would have thought she has disembarked from Sepanggar RMN base. On another note, with the arrival of a FR24 receiver in Miri there is some Multilateralization (MLAT) fix on non ads-b aicrafts around Sabah/Kalimantan area at high FLs. It is only a very small coverage area as there is a lack of good overlapping coverage of receivers around here, so only those at cruising levels can be detected. No joy for the AT75s or twin otters. A few more receivers not far from KK is needed I think to make that happen. Please see photo attached. Edited March 1, 2015 by Eddy Liew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
