Wikipedia is good but it has it’s limits and to a certain extent can’t be relied upon 😉

I imagine the Q400 has one at the cockpit door?

You imagined correctly 😉 and it is terribly uncomfortable

Cheers for the comments again guys

Jon, it was very busy yes, we were on a remote stand but it wasn’t that far away, they were also very efficient at getting us turned around in the allotted 40 minutes. Hope you have a great trip there yourself 🙂

Adam, thanks for the comments again, I am coming in to MAN on the 5th of Feb at around 5pm, same again on the 11th Feb, 5pm (give or take).

As for the Steep Approaches, we can do steep approaches yes, a steep approach is one where the approach angle is more than 4.5°, but we are limited to 5.5°
Also we can’t do autopilot & Flight Director coupled approaches over 4° so no steep approaches with the autopilot. Any approach over 4° will have to be a raw data approach.

In a round about way this is what the placard is saying

ST-21

This doesn’t make sense to me, surely V1 fits around the runway length, the runway length does not fit around V1, V1 is the variable here, and many factors decide it.
If you had a fully laden 747-400 (396t) taking off on a 2,000m runway then V1 would be quite small (it would also go off the end of the runway before rotate), however if it were taking off on a 4,000m runway then V1 would be closer to Vr, if not the same as Vr. So runway size doesn’t matter, the performance tables will give you the required V1 for the required runway regardless of length.
In my aircraft we only use V1 for the runway should it be less than the V1 from the TOLD cards, called a V1 split, factors that can split the V1 is whether the runway is wet, a lower QNH than 1013, whether we are de-rating with flex power, de-ice fluid contamination, runway contamination etc etc.

Thanks for the comments guys, when I get some more I’ll upload them

James, the Dash holds 5.3 tonnes of fuel, typical burn at max cruise altitude of FL250 is roughly 1,000kg – 1,100kg per hour, max cruise speed is 360kts TAS, this would equate to about 1700nm in still air conditions. But remember this is running the tanks dry, we need to leave some contingency, alternate & final reserve fuel in the tanks at the end of each flight so this figure is reduced, technically it could achieve the 1700nm.

Lukey, we must have been at SZG around the same time, there were a few Thomson flights arriving as we did.
Was up in NCL on Friday, who is Nikki the dispatcher? she is absolutely stunning 😀

Thanks chaps

Judas, nearly all the captains are great, but it doesn’t harm to be polite, “do you mind if I take some piccies?”. Normally they have their camera out too, especially when going to places like SZG

1-2 days sorting in the UK (standard), then it actually has to catch it’s flight, assume the mail is SLF now, it has to go to the airport, wait for the flight, let’s assume another 1 day for this. Then it travels to it’s stopover point, assume Singapore for arguments sake? now I’ve been to Australia 3 times and it has never taken me 24hrs to fly there, door to door it’s more like 36hrs or more.
So, another 6hrs in Singapore. Then it has to fly to Australia, another 7hrs or so. Once there it has to be unloaded and sent to the main mail sorting office, assume another day here.
Then it has to be sorted, assume another 1-2 days as per RM in this country. It then has to be delivered to it’s regional centre, remembering Australia is a vast country, so it may have to catch a flight again. Once there it may have to be sorted again and then delivered the next day.

Clear as mud? thought so 🙂

Hope that helps

There are redundant pitots, but if it was a bird strike then lot’s of blood would be evident

Of course the engines were running, had they completely failed at 2 miles to run then they wouldn’t have made that house let alone the grass undershoot
