RE: Just curious!!!

Antique Nokia 5 series. Heck, I don’t want to be mugged for my phone. It does exactly what it says on the tin – sends and receives mobile calls. If I wanted games, etc I’d buy a Playstation!

RE: Flightdeck PA’s

Thanks Lyndon. I’m just looking for golden nuggets that I don’t use at the moment. Trying to give the customer the best I can, etc…

RE: Another bit of useless information from me!

Unfortunately I have to bear in mind certain commercial communication clauses in my contract which is why I am sometimes cagey about saying certain things. This is also why my name doesn’t appear in my profile. However, the above threads are correct!

While I’m at it, I heard the other day that Britannia have just appointed a team to assess the possibility of operating an Airbus fleet.

RE: Small Challenge…Identify the airlines.

Ahhh, that answers a question for me. I had heard that the old SkyTrek Trislanders were back in operation but had no idea under what name.

RE: Landing Gear Up

One other point to consider – sometimes after landing using a lot of braking (hot ambient temperature, heavy aeroplane, short runway, tailwind, etc) the brakes will be very hot and the aircraft will require a certain amount of time (calculated from tables) before departure for things to cool down. Under these circumstances it can prove beneficial to leave the gear down for a few minutes after take off to help the airflow cool the brakes. This is also done when a brake unit has been isolated and capped off (made inoperative) as there is no automatic braking on that wheel before retraction. I f the wheel isn’t stopped from spinning it can cause a lot of friction in the wheel well and give you a fire in that area!

RE: Landing Gear Up

The way my company does it is – when the non-handling pilot sees arate of climb on the vertical speed indicator and a climbing indication on the altimeter he/she calls ‘positive climb’ to which the handling pilot calls ‘gear up’. In the event of an engine failure we would continue with the take off so there is a performance penalty if the gear is left down for too long. If the runway is long enough (or headwind strong enough to reduce groundspeed significantly) then yes the gear may well be fully retracted by the time the aircraft crosses the upwind boundary.

Good question though. I’m happy to answer any others if you want.

RE: What other hobbies do you guys / gals have ?

When I lived in Guernsey I got really into scooters! I did a full motorbike license while I was over there and then bought a bigger motorbike back in the UK (so that I can get from my home near Heathrow to Gatwick without getting stuck in M25 traffic). However I soon started to miss my scooters so I sold my bike and I’ve now got a 500cc scooter with a top speed of just under 120mph!
