jahur 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Try imgur.com 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.

Prestley Shim 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2017 Very nice departure shots Chin! The angle really shows of the wings curvature. Agree on the engine noise. Surprisingly quiet here as well today in KCH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted December 8, 2017 Thank you for those pictures 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Edited December 8, 2017 by Eddy Liew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 I guess what you said fits for the scenario you saw yesterday. come 27/12/17 MH2614 and we will see her again. Thanks all for sharing! hopefully more to pics to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
