DIFFERENT A320 L/G's

ROY HUDD says " Quality of Indian runways/taxiways? Oxymoronic, old chap!

The only aspect of Indian aviation that can be considered worse is ATC. Or maybe the antiquated HF system " .


To answer your first question OLD CHAP ! Out of fleet of 43 A320's some have BOGIE GEAR and thats not cause of the runways / taxiways but due to the fact that in times of war these 320's are used to ferry Army personnel to and fro and operate to fields obviously below the current LCN / PCN for the 320's ..... HENCE


No 2 OLD CHAP ! maybe youve never flown to that part of the world but why is it that they have the highest percentage of safety as compared to Europe or America for that matter ? and yes HF exists but thats for Backup incase you loose your primarys . . . . and from what I hear ACARS is around the corner .


Oxymoronic ? I would beg to differ ... OLD CHAP !

somewhere in a Jet stream......
