@SonicbusterX2000 the lights on it do help.

@sandercamillo its standard procedure so whillst it sounds slightly stupid it ensures no misunderstanding.

@planes142 i live within probably about 20 miles max and used to (not as much now granted) go there often to watch the planes and even by bristol standards it was quite late . not dangerous but quite heavy.

@SingaporeAirflyer @charlieiscool1000 it has a reduced number of seats down from 100+ to 38 to reduce weight(as is done to extend range on very long haul flights or those usually out of aircrafts range). however the runway a london city is too short to allow a a318 to takeoff with full fuel so i...

@JohnCusley i dont think their meant to there are signs there warning of jetblast but i dont thing they are allowed to clear them

@tonkatsu123 bit late once its in the air and an engine explodes in flight

@ChickenRiceMushrooms i have heard that it is a training flight number which meant that he used what he was trained for

why when mentioning the ba a318 service to jfk could you noy at least get the same family of aircraft

@saine64 all ranges quoted are those of max passenger weight or mtow if most of your added weight is fuel your range is greater

its london and heathrow just for your info

@b3rylord the main danger was at takeoff due to tire explosions and wing damage. add to that the high speed needed for take off and the high angle of atack on takeoff the margins for error were small.

@treezy333 the french and brittish worked together as neither had quite the funds for it

@kevinren10 i think thats what they were working out at 1:30 i think it was that some planes wouldnt be able to turn from the taxiway for runway 12

this is the problem with letting a computer find a number

@mooo483 they can be very realistic for low altitude and some high altitude training as they are programed with real data and obey certian real life forces and movements

@DaVader8394 i think its for going around i.e the minum height at which you can power up and go around before you are commited to land.

@TheBreakdanzkat my apologiesi had heard that they now use rolls royce engines on most of there long haul fleet and definatly on new jets like 787 and i think a380

@Tenfire100 virgin atlantic?

@iammrprince yeah he almost sounded like he was simply pointing out the scenery or a delay rather than a catasrophic engine failure and fuel leak and wing damage and flight control damage.

@surreyboy84 he confused it with his next flight which is easy to do when falling fast and only feet from the ground possibly going to hit beacons and break up

@airplanes66 he has now rejoined ba as of 2011

@ShihosPride1313 it is cctv footage not great quality

@aky19832001 the tests for bird strikes use "relativly" small birds and only have to survive it dosent have to keep working

@angryman1007 ba 777 but yes

@Kamilohbk both can stall however in this case it was the wings as engines stall shouldnt cause a sudden decent

@apx24 it probably did but the margin probably wasnt enough to risk being delayed andhaving to declare a full emergancy and have the problems that brings rather than land safely and add a bit of fuel and maybe takeoff again to singapore or fill the tanks and fly direct to melbourne

@Cg23sailor you need to seriously check your facts. the autopilot automaticly disconected caused possibly by the icing of pitot probes. the series of fault mesages sounding after 3 or so hours in darkness and at lowest matabolism over the ocean would have confused the crew. possibly due to disori...

@iFlyFPV you have to put his actions in context with what was happening and the confusion that had been caused by earlier warnings. its very easy after a crash to say what the pilot should have done without knowing what caused him not to. remember pilots are human and dont try to crash. waht they...

@esszesc what so every emergancy that requires an emergancy landing i.e medical or engine faliure is a crash?

@MultiDonkey13 not considering they are certified for much much higher weights and trust me if airbus can get then unchanged certified then they are about the safest thing they will make as the test require the wings to bend up by 155% of designed limits. they do flex however that happens daily t...

@archer49d having possibly made that error( i dont know wherther they did) they executed a perfect and safe belly landing. as was said in a china airlines incident where the pilot mishandled the flight and fell 30000 feet he was praised for saving the passengers. as one crash invstigator said "re...

@airplanes66 sorry that was only altitude however they were still overwelmed
