I seriously doubt the 14R landing theory, knowing how the ASTC works on KUL. But then again this is a special occasion, so I could be wrong.

 

I wouldn't know my roster until end of the month, but I hope to be off on those 2 days.

Guys,

 

No... I'm not working in Tower, or DCA or KLIA... tongue.gif

I'm a government pensioner, seriously... laugh.gif

 

But I do have good friends...

some of them are here, but are shy to contribute

for a reason or another... smile.gif

 

So I just relay their messages...

In fact the discussions regarding the A380 visit are still going on

That's why I hold on to posting

But when thread started, might as well I'll provide some info that I know of.

 

Capt Radzi... Yes 14R was the latest decision,

Initially was 32R... and they won't stop people to come to Obs Hill

BUT.... VVIPs are more important than spotters (who're actually only "voting rakyat") mad.gif

However, I don't know how they going to manage the traffic infront of Kaji Cuaca

The worst they might do is close the Jalan Pekeliling... mad.gif

and stopping people to view the A380

But, as I said, there might be changes...

 

Pieter, your dates might be correct,

But the 1125 on 10th of Nov arrival from SIN is the latest I received

(last Tuesday) together with the Runway Info.. smile.gif

I guess the runway in use will have to depend on wind condition. But whatever it is it will not stop us from coming.

 

The only thing is that I can't see the logic of using 14R for landing, or even 32R. If 32 in use 32L will be the easiest way to get to Bunga Raya.

 

But...... if it lands on 32R, it will be touchdown right in front of the hill, magnificent. Can get touchdown shot. 32L or 14L at 1125LT can only get approach shot. 14L, can get reverser deployment.... oops, a bit of backlit though.

Yes ... depends on wind cond that day...

 

Have conveyed to them regarding location of sun during arrival

Some of them are quite symphatetics to spotters...

these things has been brought up,

but ... this is Malaysia huh.gif

 

Forgot to mention...

A380 will park on Bunga Raya Apron for VVIP "inspections"

Then it will taxi (no tow bars in KLIA good enough to tow this beast)

to C17, C27 & C37... for "fiitings" I guess laugh.gif

 

So... while taxying from Bunga Raya... Viewing Gallery is good (bring big towels to clean the glass panels)

For gate jumpings... Obs Hill with backlit... tongue.gif

Just wonder, again, why they want it to land on any of the R runways since normally the L runway is for landing. Or is it just a trick to keep the spotters away?

If they wanted to keep spotters away

Why would they open observation hill eh ?

If they don't want to keep spotters away

Why would they close observation hill eh ?
