    Dont know for sure, but I would say Pitot tubes also on the engine inlet in order to give an accurate Engine Pressure Ratio.

    I hope the LBA marketing department are reading this or pprune.
    Then they can officially anounce it on the website !

    How could anyone man or bird see the spiral once the engine has been run up.
    Unless they have strobe vision!

    I believe the TU154 was designed to land on grass strips.

    Exit through arrivals, turn right and through exit to the end of the old building near domestic.
    From there, for a charge of a few pence, you can go up onto the roof viewing terrace. You can walk the full length of the building.
    However, the real interesting stuff is a little bit distant to your right.
    Still ok though.

    Most Central wings aircraft seem to be 50% Lot Polish colours.
    However, I saw one aircraft this morning near the LOT hanger in Warsaw.
    Not sure 300 or 400 but with new tail paint scheme.

    So why does the height not affect Bristol at 40ft less (622ft)?
    The landing distances are not a big issue except for Cat3 + tailwind on 32.
    I remember EA once stating at a presentation when the subject of flights to Pakistan was raised. He said the airport had spoken with Airbus and it was said that direct flights were technically possible with an A330.
    In this case for such a flight duration the 757/767 should have no problems.

    I dont know all the technical details, but the braking action is measured as described. From memory I think they measure it in thirds and give a decimal reading. For example 0.7 – 0.6 – 0.4 .I assume this is out of 1.0.
    The landing distance in these conditions is then assessed by the crew from the manual and the amount of braking applied accordingly.If the required distance is too great, then the aircraft cannot land.
    It also depends on runway length.
    I dont think the airport will be closed unless it falls below about 0.5. But I am only guessing.They will continue to try and improve the figures with brushing and de-icing.

    I can imagine that KLM will eventually change to come into line with the Air France colour scheme.
    I think all white with subtle Air France KLM lettering in blue as they continue to integrate.

    I did Krakow Paris last week. Could not get a return ticket because flight was full.Krakow- Bergamo also busy. Not a bad airline.
    Better than KLM for example because at least you have a choice of snacks and full bar service.
