There’s no SOP for engaging the autopilot, but this is usually done in the initial climb (500ft – 5000ft).

The autopilot is usually disconnected when landing clearance is received – as it’s safer to let the A/P do a G/A then the pilot themselves. (If you listen to a scanner at LHR, you can here all the airbus A/P’s been disconnected when the aircraft is cleared to land.

I’m setting off in an hour… 😮

EDIT: I’ve got what I needed. Good Luck Everyone!

Some lovely shots there Rob,

Your images get better by the post!

So, anyone who visits LBA often, please answer this.

Lets assume Ryanair have a base at Leeds/Bradford and eventually fly to 20 different destinations, that means possibly 4-5 of Ryanairs aircraft based there, if you add all the Jet2 aircraft, plus BMI, Eastern etc, where will all these aircraft park at night ?

There’s plenty of room at LBA, especially with the new remote stands. It would just be more ‘cosy’ with 5 RYR aircraft parked up.

If RYR offer cheaper flights, with more leg room, it’s a no brainer.

EXS over charge so much for what they are actually offering, and i’m going to have to agree with Paul on this one. (:eek:)

Paul, you can’t really blame LS for not doing a loyalty program, not many (if any) charter airlines do.

The Saudi is very nice indeed,

But most overs are over sharpened.

Nice shot, but Emirates ICAO is UAE.
