Tried picasa it never got my jpeg photos uploaded. Imgur is working thanks!

 

Arrival is marked by backlit hot sun. Reverse thrust was the most quietest i've ever heard plane probably had them idle mode.

Lucky departure had better lighting. Taxiway Kilo departure engine roar was very soft derated further due to light load and it did a very comfortable shallow climb for us to take pictures.

Thank you for those pictures :drinks:

Yeah, the engines were so quiet on approach to BKI's 02 today

Caught me totally unaware and she was more or less overhead before I started fumbling with my camera

There must also be some sort of time lag on FR24 too :)

Yes.. there is.. maybe about ?20-30s as time to upload to the server and the get it from the server takes a bit of time. Suggest stick to ATC with your phone, it should give you a better idea when it is approaching especially cleared to land, though sometimes due to concurrent calls in different frequencies it might get blocked.

 

So is it right to say that A350's quietness is similar to B787s ? (I only seen and heard RBA's B788)

Haha, I'm probably better off with FR24 I think - have no idea how to make any sense of those ATC exchanges I've come acrossed so far :)

 

Sorry, cannot compare as I've never been near a Dreamliner on approach

Plus, I'm guessing 9M-MAB wasn't really operating 'normally' - probably near empty, ie very light

Hence engines need not work too hard to keep her gliding in and required minimal reverse thrust engaged to slow her down on ground - lay man assumptions, clarifications most welcomed :)

Any reason why?

Fleet redeployed elsewhere where load is higher and cannot afford to lose it also shortage of manpower to fly them that period.

Sharing some photos of the A350 proving flight to BKI last Friday from the other side of the fence.

 

Special thanks to Malaysia Airlines for giving me the opportunity to play a small part in this historic event. Not to forget Samuel Chy for the initial recommendation.
