Departed HKG but not in the HKG FIR at the time. It was still in climb.
The point being it was on an Airway/SID in some of the busiest airspace in China, but only CX got hit.
All three events were in clear air, which is a case of unfortunate circumstances.
Clearly not - where did the hail come from? Why did your colleagues not avoid the CB by at least 30NM as you advocate? Negilgence!
Running off a runway at CNS because you cannot execute a 180 in an airliner on a marked turning is not such a case
Where does this come from? Who did so?
Why would there be an official report ?
Because damage was done to the aircraft.
The report says they went through an area painted magenta, what I would have done differently is during the climb and at top of climb adjusted the tilt of the radar so I was scanning what was infront and blelow the path, not 5 degrees up.
Like your buddies in the Hail encounter should've done.
They should have ordered an even 10 and really showed every one up
Actually there are a couple more 330's due this year, aside from that order, then the 15 A350's start arriving next year. The total current a/c in the whole fleet is 33, becoming 35 by years end, then the 9 A330's plus 15 A350's. That'll be 59.
CX is what? 49?
The times they are a-changin' boys!
