Re: FUN chal
I used to do Madeira in the sim. But I haven't done any refreshers for years. I've never been there.

Re: Wing foiling
I do strongly advise lessons. It will shorten the learning curve and get you going. Then, as I am finding out, time on/in water.

Wing foiling
I used to windsurf (or sail board) but after a trip to the Maldives, I tried wing foiling. It's an interesting activity whereby instead of a fin, you have a hydrofoil (2) underneath and its purpose is to elevate the board above the water. Propulsion is from either a small motor or a wing (not a sail...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
A couple of reasons are possible fot 9H-GLOBL's routings. Sector training for the pilots. Ie need X number of sectors to be released. That FL looks below RVSM. Numerous reasons for that. Dodgy autopilot, transponder not working properly, felt like it...

Bonza Airlines, an ultra low cost airline has gone into administration barely a year after starting.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Apparently not all the sectors that were due to go on strike, did so. Very unusual.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Famous people are unusual. They are either really pleasant and a joy to meet or just a snooty waste of space. I met the latter the other day.

Re: JFK Up-cock
Just over a year ago there was a near miss on the runway at JFK. It was at night, Delta (B737) was cleared to take off but an American Airlines B777 crossed that active runway. They had lost SA during the taxi. Fortunately, the Southwest crew aborted the take off before collision. Similar set of cir...

Re: BA009 revisited
@probes I don't know if it's still on the curriculum for the ATPL Human Performance section. I haven't done any ATPL exams for over 20 years. Curiously, we did not look at it during my Masters.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
A very enjoyable trip to Tenerife courtesy of teh Big Fella and easyJet. We stayed at the hotel KN Arenas del Mar at El Medano. It's rather close to GCTS. It's a mecca for wind powered watersports. So I had a couple of lessons trying to learn to wing foil. It's very challenging. However, I have mana...
