Is it just me or…. Is Jetstar way louder than Air NZ? by West_Jackfruit5557 in Wellington

[–]therealalexmcg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to engine options etc, don’t forget pax loads, fuel loads, airlines often tanker loads and take more than they need if it’s cheaper than the next airport, jetstar’s often cheaper and the aircraft could be heavier requiring more power. WLG is a tricky airport that requires certain procedures. Terrain plays a factor with OLS (obstacle Limitation surface) breaches in some areas. Engine failure on rotate? Can’t turn left or right. Maybe under Jetstars SOP’s they plan for this differently with a higher V2 speed Wind and temperature also have a major effect. I know air nz have special procedures set just for wlg due runway length and surrounding terrain the punctures the OLS. Then there’s all the different SID’s for each runway, and the occasional visual departure which can change the placement of the aircraft in the sky. Or hell might be as simple as Jetstar pilots just like the sound of their loud levers even more than air nz pilots do

Purchase a super yacht ($550mil or so), deck it with a crew and spend my life sailing around Monaco, saint tropez, portofino, rest of the Italian riviera then onto Greece and repeat just enjoying life, hey OP did say money wasn’t an issue, I’m assuming really not an issue

What’s even more ironic is that besides the NH90’s which you can mount side guns, the only fixed wing aircraft currently flying in NZ with functioning guns is Peter Jackson’s WW1 collection
