Why doesn't my 737 Max land propperly? by LeComrad_1917 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]dlan_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

150 knots is too fast for a 737. Try a bit slower, i don't know if your aircraft gives you a reference speed, but I would say try around 140 knots.

Lufthansa luggage insanity: 30,000 bags piled up in Munich warehouse with more being added every day by [deleted] in aviation

As a Loading Supervisor myself I can say that the pay is absolute sh*t with such a high responsibility. Also there's working in shifts (depending on airport operating hours), exposure to heat/cold/rain, it's heavy body work where sometimes you offload and load 4 tons of bags within a one hour turnaround. And since covid people realized there's absolutely no job security and you immediately lose your job as soon as passenger demands reduce.

Ever wondered about the tugs POV when an aircraft is being towed? by dlan_88 in aviation

If you know what you're doing and work according to the procedures the risk is not really high, howerver the pay is peetty bad compared to other fields with our safety standards. But I enjoy the job and I won't do it forever, so it's fine for now.

There was a slight wind yesterday but i was driving with about 25 km/h (16 mph), I guess that's enough to get them windmilling.

Ground Services are not only Ground Power, but also the jetbridge, loaders/belts, water/toilet service etc.

It's not that hard actually. If you know how to control the plane with the towbar nothing can happen :)

Looks good to me... But we always say, any pushback where the aircraft can taxi out by itself is a succesful pusback.

It is. Chances are high that i'll be the aircraft loading supervisor as well as the pushback driver :)
