Hello 747FOCAL,
with surprise I got to read your comments in the forum. A lot of times I can´t imagine you are a prof. pilot, or something horrible must happened to you in the past.
But you can be proud, because I took my nickname after your so well known name here.
It seems to me, you are the second best known person herein the forum after 411A.
To give you some insight from Frankfurt/Germany. The people you are referring to in your post would like to stop airtraffic completely in Frankfurt Rhein/Main and they are also a privately organised group.
Just for your information and back to the facts:
The ILS intercept was out of 3000´ feet, fully established, instead out of the standard 4000´ and that was one of the points, where they had their first noise monitoring point.
Second, we really got a laugh out of the statement from the generated tornados and the rooftops in danger in the approach path from RWY 07 ( a little in front of the marker ).
"Such turbulence he has “never experienced". If the plane would have flown very low over Raunheim, “the roofs would have blown off".
But just a little info about that A380.
Lufthansa will phase out the 747 now, since they need so much fuel.
The A340-600 is saving 25tons compared to the 747-400 in fuel on each leg to Buenos Aires. (same payload, wind etc.. )
The A380 is at least 15% more efficient in any sector then the A340-600.
But they are thinking at Lufthansa about buying a 787, when the aircraft will perform as promised and that also in time.
hope that makes you happy...
