Karlstad
Hi everybody,
Was just wondering if Jamie, or indeed anybody else knows, what Ryanair's plans for Karlstad in Sweden are?
Both Ryanair and the airport say they're happy with how the Girona flight has gone this summer. Are there plans to open more routes for summer 2012 with, perhaps, a flight to London?

According to the Montenegrin Government, Europe’s largest low cost airline is finalising its plans to commence flights to Podgorica. The Montenegrin Government has been actively involved in talks with Ryanair in order for it to commence flights. While the services are to be subsidised (to an undisclosed amount), the government has laid out strict terms. The airline will be obligated to carry 100.000 passengers out of Podgorica in 1 year and carry 50.000 passengers during the low season, from October until May.
(...)
Ryanair will be obliged to operate for a full year.

I wouldnt call it a holiday hot spot. . . but ryanair will fly anywhere if the government is helping out with 'marketing'. You can be sure the flights won't be running at a loss with all the perks from the deal.

Economy measures
I've just seen this as part of a reply on Aviation Herald to the news that a Ryanair flight to Stockholm had an engine shut down. Is it true or a wind-up?
I believe that this was actually a test flight.
They are planning that during the winter months, on some of the less busy routes they will fly the 737's on one engine if the aircraft are less than half full. It sounds kind of spooky, but if it keeps the routes open and saves fuel, who knows, this might catch on.

Sounds a bit like a wind up. When a plane is half full, it isn't have the weight. It's got the constant machine weight plus half the passenger weight. Yes of course planes could fly with one engine but surely this would cause unnecessary wear and tear, increasing maintenance costs. Plus the fact that for take off and landing, the most fuel intensive stages of flight, both engines will be required.

737s are regularly flown on one-engine during commercial operations. The critical consideration for the flight-crew is to remain outside of the "cone of uncertainty", which in simple terms is the combination of height and speed that would NOT allow the second engine to be started in the event of the first one failing.
The exact calculation of this region is part of the day to day flight planning process.

What a load of crap. 737's are never flown commercially on one engine, or any other airliner come to that would normally fly without it's normal complement of engines operating. The only time an airliner is flown with less than its normal complement of engines operating is if it has an IFSD (in-flight shutdown) a rare event in which case it would divert to the nearest suitable airport. Another rare time would be if a 3 or 4 engine aircraft performs a 2 or 3 engine ferry to a place (maintenance basefor example), for an engine change.

The only aircraft I can think of that would routinely shut down engines in flight was the Nimrod. In loiter mode they would shut down 2 to increase time on station. Never been in that position myself but know some who have.

WallyWumpus is quite correct!
Ryanair fuel policy does require single-engine cruise if you elect to depart with plog fuel, but to ensure safety considerations, you must maintain the 'windmill start envelope' to give a better chance for the inflight restart. This avoids the reliance on the starter motor and reduces maintenance costs.
I'm sure other airlines will soon adopt this policy as the 'greenest' mode of operation.

There was nothing wrong with your original question. A Ryanair flight may well have landed in Stockholm with an engine shut down, but it would have been for nothing else than a technical reason and certainly not for economy reasons.

Oh, for goodness sake, lighten up!
Any real pilots on here will recognise that my tongue was well into my cheek.
All you do is emphasise the fear culture that predominates at RYR. Bear in mind that a colleague at my base killed himself earlier this year and a major factor in that act was his perception of his employment.

I fly for RYR.
If anyone was in any way distressed or alarmed at my comments on single engine operations, if they came across as anything other that completely sarcastic ("cone of uncertainty"!!!!!) then I would like to offer a sincere and unreserved apology to....
....all the people you know and that have to put up with must be quite a stilted and humour-free relationship. This is not applicable to the person who asked the original question, and they seemed genuine.
