All true, however all I was saying is that this procedure is NOT called a "pushback".

I am also familiar with the nose lifter, they used it at Lufthansa in Frankfurt when I was there.

This is one of my favourite subjects. :wink:

While I would not particularly want to be in the cabin with 200 people all using mobile phones at once :roll: I have never believed that they are actually a danger to the modern Aircraft. 8O

Now confirmation from Siemens. :D


Mobile phones @ 30,000 ...

I am wrong. 8O

The only picture I can see, there is something attached to the LEFT MLG, NOT the right, you who is wrong. :wink:

I do not know what they are doing in your photo, but it is NOT a "pushback". :roll:

I know there is a big problem with English here, however whatever they are doing ...

I cannot see what that is.

Whatever it is? It is NOT a "pushback" anyway.

What Airline does a pushback like that? 8O

In my 40 years in the Industry, working all over the World, I have never heard of such a pushback on any Aircraft? :?:

The tractor and towbar are normally connected to the NLG, and they go to a lot of trouble to isolate the NWS systems, usually with ...

Anyone here listen to live ATC on their computer?

This is my favourite, New York JFK.

All the current items close in just under 24 hours, so you had better hurry. :wink:

Also just listed a few more very rare things there, including this postcard from President Airlines of Cambodia.

Several postcards from Shell Aviation, including ...

That's odd?

That looks like the same position that I now call waypoint lame.

Go to this site, and you can create your own waypoint, and even save it as wallpaper.....

The shocker of the year was America West's announced purchase of two 747 aircraft, and a route application for Sydney service. Sydney would be denied, but Honolulu would still be added with the new (used) aircraft.

The much-touted Bird of Paradise wide-body service started on November 15, 1989 ...

I have just listed 18 new postcards on the normal auction site, including what would have to be surely the first Airline issued A380 thing.



Check them all out.

Also some rare cards from Aer Lingus and others.

This is a good topic. :wink:

I know there are rules, and you must obey them. :roll:

However I honestly believe this is a load of rubbish about not using mobile phones on Aircraft.

In the USA people use their cell phones as they call them, during taxi out, and as soon as the Aircraft lands and ...

That is one fast tractor..........

From my experience of living and working in New York, that would be normal for a taxi driver........

I quite like Maccas just for breakfast, but not the rest of the day's menu.

Prefer what we call Hungry Jacks. (Burger King to you).

I think this is one of the best ATC jokes I have ever read. :lol:

Tower: "Aircraft on final, go around, there's an aircraft on the runway!"

Pilot Trainee: "Roger" (pilot continues approach)

Tower: "Aircraft, I said GO AROUND!!!"!

Pilot Trainee: "Roger"

The trainee doesn't react, lands the ...

LAME.

I see you have found the site that I was getting the jokes from.

You may be able to, and maybe your regulations are not so strict in Europe.

But that is the figure for an Australian registered Aircraft.

Of course an engine running out of noise is not the only worry with ETOPS flights.

The B767 we had in Vietnam, used to go Hanoi to Moscow direct, some 11-12 hours non stop and not many "suitable" airports along the way.

One time it had a pneumatic fault on one engine with no pneumatics available ...
