To be the backhoe driver? Yes, Sure, however, once you have been the driver, you cannot really manage your time to shot. Really want to see QR send thier AB6 to HongKong as well.

LeeCH 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Norman, Nice sequence of landing shots of the Qatari Syeikh....Hope you do not mind to let me share something with the rest here...... I am sure the pilot not flying must be wondering when is the pilot flying is going to put the nose down. The dangers of holding your nose so long and high up after the main wheels have touched and spoiler cum reversers activated can be rather disasterous. Reversers and spoliers destroys lift on wings. And by holding the nose up for so long, and with lift energy gradually reducing depending on the rate of deceleration, once lift energy dissapates, the nose will stall and the nose wheel will hit the ground very very hard. Chances of damage of sturtural crack will be high indeed. In my training and conversion days, we are always reminded during the flaring part to 'fly the nose wheel to the ground'. Meaning that once main wheels touched, reversers deployed (which activates spoilers automatically), gradually let the nose wheel come down in a controlled manner. Never let go instantaneously but also never hold on to it forever. A jetliner is not Cessna. The more and more holding off the nose may also eventually lead to a tail strike. Can you see how close the tail is to ground?? Put that on a Triple and Norman will capture a tail strike for all to see. Its a great showoff and thankfully Norman was there to capture it for us.......hehe. More please Norman....more.... Edited April 29, 2006 by LeeCH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrian M 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 AlphaGolf was really impatient while waiting for SriLankan to exit... Great shots you got there bro Norman. I love the MH A332 with the tip-toes. The 9M-AAG in the pic is the one my sis on from KUL-LBU and lost her luggage upon arrival. My sister says they were on hold for almost half an hour before they proceed to take off. Seems u got a lot of shots showing AAG on hold. They arrive LBU at 1525 on the afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 1 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Thanks again guys.. Adrian... when there's only one runway in operation, there'll bound to be some delays... Everybody want to use the same threshold for landing or departing... Some fast "jumper" like A320 or lightweight A330 will use Charlie4... even that sometime they've to hold for arrivals & wake turbulence..
