The Future!

[devon_guy]

I don't know if anyone can help but I have just come back from EDI-EXT and we were coming in to land. Airport empty no aircraft on runway at all. Landing gear came down, we were flying low then all of a sudden we climbed and banked steeply, landing gear went up, we turned and were banking majorly over EXT before we descended, landing gear came down and we hit the tarmac rather hard. No explanation from flight deck so anyone at EXT got any ideas??

[eastern wiseguy]

It's called a go-around...many and varied reasons...aircraft too fast..approach not stable...runway not vacated...no big deal happens on a daily basis

[mad_bob]

Could have been a number of things. Not happy with the approach, a slight tech problem or indeed ATC could have sent them round, something on the rw or birds etc. Maybe they didnt have time to say anything. If they were going round into the visual circuit they would have been very busy with check lists etc. We do try to keep pax informed but only if time permits. Hard landing, well, thats the Dash.

just out of interest, how do you know this? I have never been able to see the runway on the approach whilst sitting in the cabin as a passenger!!!

[devon_guy]

Because as I said we flew past it.....

Apparently, the next 146 logojets will be ASDA and Avis.

[devon_guy]

I'm pleased to see that they have kept BES and EGC on at EXT in the winter albeit with a reduced service.

Better than BHX then, as EGC has gone between November and
early March and it then fits in with the new ABZ & Galway flights.

BHX has gained an extra rotation to Brest compared to last winter. It did
well last winter for twice a week, must be more second-home owners
than I thought .

Will that be "Smartprice" or "Extra Special" ?

Buy one......get one free!!

I would have expected 'Best before' or 'Use by' myself.

SOU-AMS

Third daily rotation SOU-AMS has been confirmed. I somehow doubt we will see bmi operating this route this winter.

FLYBE and it's new "hanger"

It’s always bugged me to see spotters/aviation enthusiasts and the odd aviation professional refer to aircraft hangers instead of hangars. After all, if aviation is their hobby or job, they should know better. So I was quite astounded to read an article in FLYBE’s June/July inflight magazine refering to the opening of their new “hanger” in Exeter. Sack the Editor!

Edit: This was originally submitted as a seperate post. The moderator decided (IMHO quite wrongly in this particular case) to bung it in here right in the middle of an ongoing discussion/debate relating to a completely different issue!

Pedanticism Isn't Dead!

I hope u made a note of that on the customer survey that the cabin crew have to hand out!!

[Buster the Bear]

Quite a bit of advertising in the Anglia TV area for their operations from Norwich. Anglia region also covers the Luton and Stansted area.

Anyone know if the midday rotation from SOU to AMS is still going ahead as it is not in the Flybe booking system as of 10pm monday 17 - 07. Thanks

[AlphaCharlie]

Do you honestly think that ScotAirways will survive on the SOU-AMS route once Flybe and BMI come on to it with much cheaper fares which they can sustain at that price?
