RE: Radio Stations?

Saab – I could never stand that Kevin whatshisname bloke so that always turned me right off Island FM.

I always used to listen to Capital FM until they decided to concentrate solely on teenager music so lately I have become addicted to Steve Wright in the afternoon on Radio 2.

OK not much response so…
They are lightning conductors as the radome is a composite structure.

RE: easyjet select A319!

I wouldn’t be too interested in airstairs If it were my decision. It would be a lot cheaper to leave a few sets of steps at each destination than have to cart them around with you as part of the airframe. It’s not as if easyJet are operating out in the bundu! The weight of those steps must be equal to at least 2 passengers for an airline that wants to get as many seats on as possible. That represents lost revenue by having the steps.

RE: 717

The problem with this derivative of the MD series and previously the DC9 is that the DC9 ultimately gained 50% of its original design weight again and more than 50% thrust increase. However (certainly with the MD series and I believe the same is true of the 717) the wing was never improved or enlarged. As a result these marks typically have a minimum clean speed (minimum speed without dirtying up, i.e. getting high lift devices out) of about 280knots! In most terminal airspace you have to maintain a maximum of 250knots below 10000′ which just about everything else can do clean. This is a minor pain with 2 engines working but becomes a performance nightmare in the one engine inoperative scenario. While the 717 is probably a bit more efficient, the bigger MD’s had the same fuel burn as a 757 while only carrying a three quarters the number of passengers.

RE: power out flight

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 15-10-02 AT 10:01 AM (GMT)]The big fans actually produce surprisingly little drag as most of the airflow passes straight through them. The TriStar L/D was as high as 20:1

RE: Pic of the day

Here’s a little quiz for you –
What are the three vertical stripes for on the radome in Kabir’s pic?
Answer will follow soon.

RE: Special pic of the day just for Saab 2000!

Yes, we would trundle down the west coast at 1000′ decelerating from 250knots back to about 140 and left turn near the cup and saucer for R09. In this picture you can see the whole east coast past St Sampsons, Belle Greve, St Peter Port. The farthest point is Jerbourg.

RE: power out flight

In the event of dual engine failure in a twin, a RAT (Ram Air Turbine) drops down which will provide hydraulic pressure for one of the aircraft hydraulic systems. This gives you limited flight controls.

RE: Pic Of the Second – Saab 340 wing view

I mentioned earlier about using the spinner to see if the nosewheel is extended. If not here is a solution…

I was looking at a Caledonian website a few days ago and stumbled accross a picture of my sister-in-law in her Cally uniform! She’s the one on the left.

RE: Quiz Time.

I don’t think the LHR fire rig is actual aircraft components just a mock up to give a simulation of fighting these styles of configuration.

RE: History of the comet at Gatwick…

It’s a big hangar immediately west of the furthest west stands. The hanger is currently in between the Trident and the viewing area but you can probably see it from the southern perimeter road.

RE: What did you get your computer for ?

I got my first PC for the usual reasons but upgraded to my current 2 gig P4 in order to edit my camcorder movies.
