Annoying!!!!!!!!
Mainly to MAX ANGLE!
But there are others on here, what annoys me on here is the way everyone shoots down LBA at the drop of a hat, due to rwy length or what ever stupid reson you can think of next,
This incident has nothing to do with the lenght of rwy or what a rat hole it is, it's down to crew error of technical problems, until the investigation is over knowone knows unless you all working for AAIB! which I doubt,
Also someone mentioned the Saab, well I was on shift that day and that was down to crew error, we were listening to the RT and the tower said "the winds are 270/42G55knts your cleared for take off rwy 32, are you sure you want to continue with the departure due to winds" he replied "it'll be ok no probs," the next thing we heard in the office was the sound of the crash alarm, so we looked out of the window and saw the BMI SF340 spinning of the grass verge in between taxiway D and 28 as it was then, so not an airport problem would you say,
Also the Tristar, that goes without saying that was crew error, and from what witnesses say regaring the LTE then that was crew error, but untill the investigation,
There has been thousands of safe landings at LBA on most types of A/C B747's the lot and they've suffered no problems, even if the rwy's a little short, so that's me finninshed with now.
BTW LTE are Spanish, Volar Airlines is their real name, someone thought they were German, they used to be the Spanish subsidary of the German airline LTU maybe that's what your getting mistaken for,
CHEERS!!!!!
