My understanding is that ATC can be in the local lingo if an airfield is only served by domestic flights.

But, there again, I could be wrong.

Supposed to be, but there are places that use the local language with local aircrew. Most other crews frown upon this for obvious reasons.

language?

Just a question about the language used by both the tower and the pilot in the video they were both speaking in spanish I always thought that tower/aircraft communications had to be in English or has something changed?

thanks

LOL. Lots of thread drift here, what was the original topic? Tea and biscuits at La Habana?

3 questions.
1. Why were you on a Koryo flight?
2. How was the food
3. How was the stewerdess?

🙂

I’m not sure that I can reply to your post without falling foul of the rules and regs. I am ready to be reprimanded/disciplined if I have. No sarcasm intended;)

1. I had to see the place myself. Believe it or not, there is some stunning scenery there and some very nice non party/ordinary citizens.

2. I’ve had worse on some ‘western’ carriers. Full meals were only served on the Il62 sectors between Beijing and Pyongyang. Biscuits and beverage service on the domestics.

3. Cabin crew (all female) were efficient and charming and politely reprimanded any passenger not not paying attention to the safety briefing!

i certainly would..
but would you fly in this?…

The question is rather: do you want to fly where it goes?
A fun weekend in Pyongyang – with all the drinking and the hookers.

Nope
I have an innate distrust in russian aircraft.

Well that is just silly.

No offense.

Yes, tomorrow! I would have no hesitation whatsoever in doing so. Russian airliners are IMO no more dangerous than those built by anyone else. With the large numbers of them that have been operated over the years, routinely in some of the worlds worst operating environments where Airbuses and Boeings fear to tread, these aircraft and the crews who flew them in Soviet times and the crews who fly them today, have my total trust that I will arrive safely at my destination. Over the years I have accumulated more than 40 flights on them and I’m still here! BTW I have flown 2 sectors on Air Koryo Il62M, one on a Tu134A and one on an An24. I highly recommend it to anyone:D

3 questions.
1. Why were you on a Koryo flight?
2. How was the food
3. How was the stewerdess?

Ahem…. post #5…. CoC item 15…. (discreet cough).

:diablo:

I’m a mere member, I’m allowed to make silly mistakes! Funnily enough I actually thought about getting rid of the photo and have no idea why I didn’t. I shall bear it in mind in future though!

You’re right, Dean, let’s drift back on-topic. What was the topic again? Storms? F100’s? Tu-154’s? Ahhh I can’t remember! 😀

“15) Do not quote previous posts when you post replies on the forum

But it specifically states there not to quote previous posts, I didn’t quote the post, I quoted part of it 😉

This is waaaaay off topic. I still protest what I said in post #4 about the go-around being more dangerous and that is the reason why I wouldn’t have attempted a landing 😀

“15) Do not quote previous posts when you post replies on the forum as this takes up resources that can affect the performance of the forum. Any quotes will be removed by the moderators.”

It doesn’t mention anything about whether you quote only a part of the message or the entire thing, it just says don’t do it. 😉

Ah no, because I only quoted part of the post above that was relevant, not all of it 😉

Ah I see what you mean, yeah maybe he did mean it like that. Are you around to clarify, J-7?
