Fantastic shots Adam, love the Embraer

I am flying to Liverpool this saturday, FR from Santiago. Well, I have been checking the weather forecast (I am a fearfull flier) and doesn´t sound too good. Seems a bit to windy……a 20 mph winds could cause a rough landing?. Anyone one from LPL could update the conditions for saturday?. I am thinking of cancelling the flight. I know I am a paranoic :confused:

Don’t worry mate, the wind on landing generally only becomes relevant if it’s gusting and/or it’s a crosswind, a 20kt crosswind will be ok too, just remember the air is like a big cushion, the plane is going nowhere, it rides the bumps a bit like a ship does on the sea, treat the turbulance like a fairground ride, it’s lots of fun :D, I say this to my pax when encountering turbulance, just enjoy it 😉

Looking at the MetOffice, Saturday is supposed to be a fine day with some scattered Sc, and a 15kt wind, which looks like it will be straight down the runway, so no issues at all, enjoy it

vinety, please do not resurrect old threads, also is there a need to post 9 times one after the other? surely these posts can be combined to one?
Please read the CoC here

Likewise, snapper, those pictures are rather freaky

Hi Sandy

There is a good post running over on Prune about this in Rumours & news, you are correct via the TCAS, it needs transponder interrogation to work, the 738 would not have seen the Legacy & visa versa, if you want some more technical details I can post them or you can google it, if the Legacy’s transponder was indeed off then a whole can of worms will be opened, time will tell.
As for the landing gear, the FDR will reveal if the crew extended it, they may have done for a few reasons, I’ll leave the speculation as to why to others, because debating this will speculate as to the events after the crash 😉
