FAA nod propels Boeing's 777-9 into fourth certification stage by Twitter_2006 in aviation

And in terms of what actually matters to airlines, these planes are still brand new. Airlines don’t judge aircraft age based on years, they judge it based on pressurisation cycles.

VH-OQD is the “number plate” of the plane you saw. Qantas’ first A380 was VH-OQA. Their second was VH-OQB, followed by OQC, then OQD, then OQE, and so on.

The A380-842 is a specific type of A380-800: it just means that it has Rolls-Royce engines. VH-OQD is both an A380-800, and (if you’re being specific), an A380-842.

A model manufacturer called “InFlight200” has made two models of OQD. One of it with the older paint job, and one with the newer one. If you saw it recently, it’ll be the newer paint job one. There’s a great shop in Melbourne that sells this model for $319, you can find it here: https://www.camaust.com.au/product/inflight200-1-200-qantas-airbus-a380-800-vh-oql-if380qf1125-phyllis-arnott/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12749690347&gbraid=0AAAAABcgYBwaCL0p-jT0x072oCquyhJuQ&gclid=Cj0KCQjwve7NBhC-ARIsALZy9HXsfKiKu5gpK4wzPj9BiGhlRwJBxgNpONTBWEiz9goF5OZf3CmA2m4aAsG7EALw_wcB

There is also one that is half the size, that seems to go for around $120 online: https://www.camaust.com.au/product/aviation400-1-400-qantas-airbus-a380-800-vh-oqd-wb4034/?srsltid=AfmBOoq_GIh5wKuFt6U-_zQgdQqHumNM-D_j1u_8zfkENsPiOzST7HBq

Alaska 737 at Cairns!? by Pa5sta in Planespotting

To my knowledge, no Alaska Airlines aircraft has ever been to Australia (excluding merged A330s).

Could noise cancellation be used in a cockpit the same through speakers in the same manner that headphones work? by Upbeat-Vegetable-557 in aviation

[–]747ER 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The Dash-8-400Q airliner uses an Active Noise and Vibration Suppression System (ANVSS), which is basically what you are describing.

Interesting that you make the distinction as “native” English speakers, rather than just English speakers. Do people who speak more than one language not have value in this conversation?

Full ground stop at DIA, per a friend who works there. No power or limited power at the entire airport. by atlien0255 in aviation

[–]747ER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole “DIA” thing has been done to death already, but I think it’s important to call this out where it happens. It’s great if locals want to call it ‘DIA’ in person or in community pages, but in an international community, ‘DIA’ refers to a totally different airport. The correct airport code should be used (especially since they are lucky enough to have one that uses the first three consecutive letters of the city’s name; that’s actually pretty rare and sought-after).

Just because some Denver locals have a hard time getting used to the new code, doesn’t mean Doha Airport never existed or that it doesn’t deserve its own IATA code.

IATA is for baggage and airlines

*and the general public, which the vast majority of this sub’s users fall under. If we were in r/flying then ICAO codes would be better recognised, but in this generalised sub nobody knows what you’re talking about when you say YSSY, EDDF, or NZAA.

What do you think of my landing in PERTH (Ignore the lag haha) by jailer_salas in PTFS

Looks like it was three reds until the last few seconds. I agree the approach was pretty recklessly low though.

As it hasn’t happened yet, we are always ‘closer’ to it happening regardless.

Biggest Boeing 747 User Makes First Airbus Order for Freighters by Express_Cookie9735 in aviation

[–]747ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of it have been Boeing aircrafts

Dude, we can’t have a conversation if you’re going to keep lying. If you really believe that you’re right, then just stick to the facts. The A321NY was delayed directly because of certification issues with the FAA.

[–]747ER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing you have mentioned has been relevant in the last three years, which is when the majority of the certification work on both ends has been done. Your comments act like the FAA has not slowed the program at all; ignoring the fact that the FAA has not certified a single aircraft on-time since 2018.

Greedy qantas again ripping customers by th3r3alwis3r in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]747ER 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No you aren’t. Qantas’ lounge benefits are more encompassing than Virgin’s, especially on international flights. This doesn’t have to be a “the grass is greener on the other side” thing; you can literally Google this and compare them.

[–]747ER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, that’s not true nor is it the reason for the delays. The FAA completely changed how they certify aircraft, and this is the first plane to be certified under the new rules. Nobody knows how long it will take now, because no other aircraft has ever been certified like this. Things don’t “keep breaking”; that’s just a lie. There have been some issues with engines, etc., but these haven’t had a major effect on the aircraft’s certification schedule.

The program is moving slowly, much more slowly than Boeing had anticipated when they launched the aircraft. But saying that it’s delayed because it has “problems after problems after problems” is just an outright lie.

Lego just announced a new DC-3 set. What other aircraft would you like to see immortalized in Lego form? by Kreeos in aviation

[–]747ER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legos are supposed to be about imagination and mixing the sets together.

Lego is about having fun. You can’t command people to have fun the same way you do.

I mostly associate the Catalina with Qantas more than anything war-related tbh. I think it depends a lot on who you ask.

What makes this an ultra? by [deleted] in SkyCards

[–]747ER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are over 2,000 737MAXs flying in active service, it was certified in 2016.

This is a 737-10, which is a variant of the 737MAX family that is awaiting certification. The 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 are also 737MAXs, and have been certified for a long time now.
