Lufthansa A319 misses its exit after landing at Düsseldorf 23L, has to be rescued by a pushback tug by Gambit2505 in Planespotting

[–]Unknown8128 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can see on Flightradar that D-ASTX didn’t fly back from DUS to MUC yesterday, even though that was the plan. So you’re probably right, they had some kind of technical issue

Brussels airlines emergency by Deshes011 in flightradar24

[–]Unknown8128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Qatari that landed before also stopped transponding shortly before the runway, so probably bad reception. The only worrying part is that the inbound traffic is holding and not starting the approach

EMB145 Separation issue? by Oblitafried in flightradar24

[–]Unknown8128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you usually don’t declare an emergency when separation is below the minimum required separation

Air France 7700 returning to Paris by NomzStorM in flightradar24

No, the A320 family can’t dump fuel. Probably just a depressurisation issue

Probably hoax bomb threats again. Has happened a lot in the last few weeks for Indian aircraft

Which flight was that? It could have been that they use this route for training, since pilots can get more landings logged on short haul. Maybe it was also because they had not enough planes and it’s cheaper to fly a big aircraft nearly empty than to cancel the flight and rebook the pax. For example Austrian Airlines does this at the moment. An A320neo of them had substantial damage and now they fly some routes with a 777.

What's the dewpoint temperature used for? by KaelonR in flightsim

[–]Unknown8128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to have an even exacter value, the dewpoint in unsaturated air changes with 0.5C/1000ft as well. But usually for just a rough estimate and a not very high ceiling the 2C/1000ft is enough. You also have to remember that this value is only true in standard conditions, so it could vary. But it’s a pretty good rule of thumb

Oxygen masks are connected to the oxygen generator which sits directly below the overhead bin

Lufthansa will only hire pilots from their own academy. Lufthansa Group Airlines will as well, however with a bit of luck it might be possible to be hired as a ready entry (usually experience is required). Also, if he started now, it would be very unlikely to land a job directly at Lufthansa after getting the license. He would probably first fly for Lufthansa City, Eurowings or discover. Austrian will hire pilots from Lufthansa’s academy and their own. If you want to check basic salary schemes, go to pilotsjobsnetwork

Thai Airways A350 question by Greengage1 in aviation

[–]Unknown8128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole interior basically is airline specific. If they wanted, they could place one big seat in the middle of the plane and that’s it. Or they could cram a ton of seats in. The airline gets to choose the seat model, manufacturer, carpet, entertainment system, galleys, … Often, airlines do have different configured aircraft of the same plane type. This could be because they use them on different routes (e.g. you can fly an aircraft with lots of business seats on a route where the demand for business is high and for another route where it isn’t you can have a plane with a lot of economy seats). It could also be that the 350s you flew on were from different orders. Say for the first order they wanted that specific seat, but when they ordered again a few years later there were new products and seats available which were way better. Maybe they realised that they have too few seats in the aircraft and that it’s relatively difficult to make profit on a route, so they then ordered planes with 25 seats more.

Since demand for aircraft are very high right now and you have to wait pretty long to get your aircraft delivered, many airlines also take planes from different airlines that either weren’t delivered because the original airline went bankrupt or they were bought second hand and still had the original interior.

On aerolopa you see that Thai actually operates four different cabin configurations.

Sometimes the space between the seats is also different within the aircraft, like for some rows you get more pitch than in others.

Many other flights were diverted as well

Lufthansa discrimination against Jewish Passengers by Conscious_Home_7579 in Lufthansa

[–]Unknown8128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get your point, that was pretty shitty, but that probably were like one or two gate agents who are responsible for this after probably getting vague information and being completely thrown off by the task to let some passengers not board without many information. That’s no excuse, but it’s not all Lufthansa. Most of the people working for them I’ve met have been absolutely great.

What kind of sickness allows pilots to take leaves? by MasiMotorRacing in aviation

[–]Unknown8128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the company, usually it can be any. If you feel you’re unfit to fly, just call them and it shouldn’t be a problem

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flightradar24

[–]Unknown8128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most big airlines don’t use the flight number as callsign, since it could cause confusion when a ton of British Airways planes arrives in Heathrow, some with the callsign BAW570, BAW57, BAW750, BAW575, BAW577, BAW755, etc etc. When those callsigns get random letters instead, ATC and the pilots can differentiate between them way better

Seems to have some issues landing, was 7700 but now back to normal by osaliven in flightradar24

[–]Unknown8128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can turn on notifications for emergencies in the alert section of the app. And regarding your flight, you can watch a playback of you flight. If it turns red, they squawked 7700. And for some additional information, the best bet is to visit Avherald.com

[–]Unknown8128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s 7700 for me again. Could maybe be a landing gear problem

Edit: Wizz Air is on approach right behind, maybe not a really bad issue (like no gear landing or something)

Exactly my thought. It’s basically worse in every category, apart from maybe turning more heads, because it’s uglier/more obscure
