What would have been interesting is how the wake turbulence affected the ballon/payload a bit later. it looks like the ballon steered almost directly into the wake..
Jump to postI too would like to call out again for an UI that looks more like the old one (less wasted whitespace, ability to see much more at a glance etc) About too much whitespace. - Even the buttons above this edtor have lots of space inside (above the icon/Bold/Italic letter etc). - The large Thread title ...
Jump to postI flew SQ's a350 for the first time yesterday KUL-SIN I quite like the IFE 'HUD' display (My flight) with the 'window seat' option that also shows a HUD like set of flight instruments.

Jump to postand another question: is it the CAA's responsibility to even organize such rescue flights? If not, why would they do this for Monarch? Should there not be insurance which could pay for repatriation flights in case an airline goes bust?
Jump to postThey would not have to be an airline, just pay for the pilots (or replacement crews) to use the existing Monarch planes to fly the passengers back, no? Saves flying extra hardware possibly sitting around in addition to the crews?
Jump to postOk. relative newbie here. I just wonder. If Monarch is indeed about to fail (and from what I read, a lot is just speculation), why would there be a need to fly out large capacity planes to rescue stranded passengers? could the CAA (or whoever funds the rescue op) not use the same Monarch planes and ...

Add to the material costs the costs for labour, taking the plane out of rotation for the repairs etc and you may reach 10K . Also, I think it is smart of the airline to have a press release. It tells other passengers that damaging a plane will not be checp and thus acts as a deterrent. Why should th...
Jump to postThis belongs better in the Military and Space Flight Forum, no?
Jump to postA SQ flight also turned back, apparently after having flown half the distance. I wonder why those planes don't divert to Istanbul's other airport? it is one thing to keep one's passengers safe, but another to inconvenience all by returning all the way instead of landing somewhere nearby, letting tho...
Jump to postUK exports many sub assemblies and engines to the US without duty effecting the trade, so why can it not export to the EU? Because of existing trade agreements? The UK did not need those with the EU as they were part of the makeup of the EU membership. That will change now, and the UK will have to ...
Jump to postAs for 'the will of the people': It was (ciminally, IMHO) stupid to allow this referenbdum to decide the longterm future and relationships of the UK with just a simple majority (<2% margin!)

Jump to postDoes this affect the ETOPS rating of those planes where the fix hasn't been applied yet?
Jump to postIt seems to me that ATC and such service are ones where there is no real prospect of making any monetary profit (purely cost center, the profit is in the safety). So I fail to understand why private companies would be interested in providing this, unless they plan to charge the same rates but cost c...

Jump to postThe issue is that this is a dual-use field.
