Flight LH463 MIA - FRA diverted to LHR earlier this morning. Reason unknown to me.
Jump to postLooking at the FR24 data, it looks pretty normal to me. By the time the flight made the right turn 2 mins after lift-off, you gained 3,800 feet of altitude.
AMX384 (also a 737 MAX 8) going to SJD had a similar departure path and profile.
One example would be Condor’s FRA-HOG service which for a time last year operated just once weekly (Saturday). I’ve been on that flight and talked to the FA: They stayed in HOG for the entire week before returning to FRA. So Condor decided not to rotate them with crews operating the HAV or VRA fligh...
Jump to postThis is definitely a move in the right direction. These days, taking a train to the airport often involves the risk of missing your flight (or at least you're literally waiting for the annoucment of disruptions) especially in countries with notoriously unreliable train networks like Germany. Unless ...

Jump to postI don't think that's going to be repaired somehow. Your crystal ball looks awesome. Give me the brand. It's FLAIRPORT's snowglobe... Anyways, I saw some people discussing thrust reversers, and I couldn't see it deployed on the right engine, as seen in this image. The image isn't all that clear on t...
Jump to postSad that a 757 just left our skies. :( Anyway, sorry if it seems like a dumb question, but in video that an above user mentioned, I don't see thrust reversers deployed? The pilots claimed that they had failure in the left hydraulic system, which impaired the braking. But wouldn't they have been abl...
Jump to postTo add to that, the thrust reverser on engine no 2 seems to be deployed whereas the one on engine no 1 isn't. This might have contributed to the right turn. Edit: As can be seen here: Another angle from my Twitter account: https://twitter.com/xbmpro/status/1512123182739820544?s=21&t=scwwoErzDWzJ...
Jump to postJust out of curiosity: What prevent you from quickly checking it yourself? It could be done within two minutes. Google Flights can give you a good overview.
Jump to postWhen I was a kid I always thought that pilots “let air into the wings” in order to be able to fly.
Turned out they just checked the control surfaces for free movement
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Flair Airlines. I just fail to see any concept there. It just looks extremely random with a terrible selection of colours.
Jump to postOnce going from SXF to SVO on Aeroflot the scheduled A320 was switched to a Superjet which I was quite happy about to say the least. Since I tend to consider the type while booking a flight most changes result in a disappointment though. I remember an VN A350 being changed to an A321 going from HAN ...

This way, those who want to sleep have their darkness whereas those who wish to have some daylight (for reasons regarding their inner clock, watching th...
Jump to postLFSB - Basle-Mulhouse comes to mind. It’s located at the border between France, Switzerland and Germany and touches the territory of at least France and Switzerland and maybe even Germany.
Jump to postIf you fly the plane around empty then yes, it will climb faster than the empty passenger version.
If your gross weight is the same they’ll climb more or less the same.
That’s to put it simple.

Ah yes...my favorite memories are with KL using the 744 from AMS to PBM. Arriving in PBM is always a pleasure., you literally walk out of the plane and onto to platform and then you have to walk all the way across to get to the terminal.

Jump to postBoarding via mobile airstairs as you call them is pretty common outside the US. In Europe you’ll have this almost on every LCC flight.
Tomorrow I’ll be boarding LH’s 747-8 at PMI which I’m really looking forward to!
Yesterday on FR24 I saw an NH 77W at the cargo ramp at BRU, most likely also for a cargo run. I am not sure wether seats were installed or not.
Jump to postAnother question that came to my mind as I was reading the article: ATC ordered the A350 to turn to heading 180 which resulted in that conflicting situation with the AF flight. Couldn’t this have been avoided by not letting it turn left? I’m not aware of standard GA procedures in ORY and obviously w...

Jump to postThis was a good read, thank you! Sometimes I’m also doing around the world trips but usually in smaller planes like the Carenado Saab 340 or PMDG Jetstream 41. That’s quite fun as well.
Did you use any scenery? If so, especially in Africa I’m interested to know which ones you used.
Should be the 737-700. The 800 couldn't make it. However, the flight is quite unprofitable since even the 700 can't make it with a full load. The flight is about 3400nmi, while the ranges of the 700 and 800 respectively are 3050 and 2935 nmi. The 737MAX (which are not yet delivered) and the A319 (w...

Jump to postNot too long ago Saudia operated 77W’s alongside E170 on JED-RUH. While neither of these planes were unsuitable, it kind of stood out to me. At times, they operated 10 mins apart each other.

I’m surprised that no one’s asked the question so far:

I've seen JetBlue do that for deplaning passengers quite a bit at Fort Lauderdale.
Definitely seen that with Tiger and Jetstar in Australia as well
Don't forget the Qantas 15/16 LAX-JFK-LAX service onboard their 744 which worked as a tag on their BNE-LAX service. It only took passengers originating in or going to Australia however it's still a domestic flight. I took it once going from JFK to SYD with a 4-day-long layover in LAX.

3L must’ve been Intersky, a small Austrian airline which is no longer around.
