Now a body landing gear is a serious piece of FOD, well above the standard flap loss on a 74 ;)

20 years ago, on May 15th 2002, the Pier A was put into operations. This major project for Brussels Airport was accomplished in less than 4 years. It was severely disrupted by the 11 September 2001 attacks in the USA and by Sabena ceasing activities in November, however decision was taken to carry o...

Re: Air Transport in Africa Outlook

The problem is that Delta and Air France serves Dakar without a tag service and can't make a little modification for the routing like SN that can do BRU-BJL-DJR. At least AF can use Mauritania or Gambia 2 countrries served by AF, but Delta Airlines... The nearest destination that they serve is Ghan...

Re: Air Transport in Africa Outlook

Seems that Dakar GOBD/DSS is running into trouble. The company in charge of into-plane fueling has informed the airport that due to lack of fuel they will not be able to refuel aircraft as from Wednesday 20APR at noon. The shortage is expected to last for two weeks. It seems that SN is planning to f...

Yesterday 13APR Dakar welcomed a first Luxair flight from LUX.
There should be a few charter flights until the winter season when Luxair will have up to 3 scheduled flights a week.

Re: Trivia 2022 (miscellaneous news)

Guys, why are you twisting my words like that? Just read what I wrote. I never said that the R/T rules, i.e. with ATC, apply de jure to the cabin comms. But it does apply de facto because the flight crew shall not use the word “take-off” before the readback to the corresponding clearance. Just tell ...

45 years ago, on 27 March 1977, the worst ever aviation accident occurred at Tenerife Los Rodeos (now Tenerife North, TFN/GCXO).

Re: Trivia 2022 (miscellaneous news)

Agreed Dibo, MLAT has its limitations. There was a tongue-in-cheek in my reference to the reliability of the data.
I stumbled on it when I saw this bird near Waremme at 1300ft 300fpm ROD and 474kt. That would have attracted some attention and be in the press by now. ;)
