    Just need to work out how to get towards the far end of 24L (hint hint!)

    Cross the road and walk up the steps up the banking. Follow the path past the new fire station, drop down the valley, cross the footbridge over the River Bollin. From here photos of aircraft rotating on Runway 24L or touching down on Runway 06R can be taken with ease.

    Its a good 10-15 min walk, I never really go all the way down the runway. :p

    Excellent shots! All of them are very clear and crisp too. 😀

    I think that Saudi pilot set the trim a bit low on that take-off! 😉

    Tom,

    Please don’t think I’m trying to argue with you because I’m not mate. 🙂

    Not many operators on the 300 in Europe use the 22K rated engines as the conditions in Europe don’t warrant for the inrease in thrust.

    Well I read a while ago that the AEU 733 based at LBA, has more powerful engines enabling it to do the weekly Larnaca,Tenerife and Las Palmas flights.

    That aircraft has the exact same engines as Jet2’s have (CFM56-3B2s).

    Im sorry, thats absolute rubbish, if a Jet2 733 with de rated engines can get to southern europe, then a Ryanair 738 would have no problems extra size and weight or no extra size and weight.

    Jet2 have CFM56-3B2 engines fitted on there B737-300s, they produce 22,000 of static thrust each. The minimum you can have on the 300 is CFM56-3B1s which produce 20,000 static thrust each.

    Yes, but Bristol is a long way south of LBA, therefore there it is much nearer to its destination and less fuel is required. A 738 at 24K is less powerful, therefore needs more runway space. A Ryanair 738 would struggle to get to southern Europe from LBA.

    Thank you Alex! 🙂

    It’s a forum for any spotter or journalist who wants to sign up, and they don’t even have to sign up to read what’s on it.

    Yep, more spotters then pilots are members of pprune. 😉

    Nothing ever “confidential” is not really disscussed on there. Airlines have there own “sub-forums” over there, and you actually have to be employed by the airline to view those. I couldn’t access them for example. 😉

    LBARULES,

    Ryanair (as far as I’m aware) operate with 24K rated engines on the 800 instead of the standard 26K rated engines, this could pose potential problems at LBA in hot conditions. All of those operators you have listed have 26K rated engines so obviously they can handle LBA.

    Oh come on mate, a 738 with a max of 2 hours worth of fuel would have no bother from LBA, we have sorted all the 738 problems anyway.

    Britannia had a problem with there B738s a while back at LBA. And had to withdraw them from service @ the airport, cause they had trouble getting of the runway. :p

    Didn’t realise that LBA has so many 738 flights nowadays.

    Superb news for all airports, I really cant see why Ryanair dont expand at LBA….

    B738s and LBA don’t go well together. 😉

    Pretty bad “airmanship” if you ask me. 😉

    I like Condor’s official comment:

    “Our plane deviated from its cleared routing and altitude. We cannot comment on other allegations.”

    Does anyone know where the TCX 757 had departed from orignally (MAN/GLA/LGW?).
