DANI: wrong
Only the 777-200LR and the 777-300ER have raked wingtips and therefore a little more span, maybe 1 or 2 feet extra each side? All other 777 versions have the same wingspan.
SQ has 777-300ER's with raked wingtips but the a/c involved were 200ER's.
Besides, If you are that close as to worry about extra span then you should stop and get a marshal.

Dunno about a marshall maybe a mashaller would be more usefull :)

yeah you're correct, I stewed over that one for a while.

SQ pilots rarely look out their windows, and just recently I had a similar incursion by an SQ 777 cutting us up. No doubt it was not worthy of a mention in the lyin city, just as other incidents involving SQ aircraft over the years.

dont believe the 200-ER has larger wingspan than the 200. Only the 200-LR and the 300-ER have larger winspan than the rest.

All of what you say is correct, we will have to wait for official report to know reason for contact.

200LR and 300 ER wing span 212 ft 7 in
200, 300 and 200 ER wing span 199 ft 11 in

12 ft ..... two body lengths quite a good distance.

Worth considering wrong side of aircraft for a wing walker, everyone doing push out would have been blind sided by aircraft turning. Responsibility would have to have been with the taxiing aircraft.

Sounds like the headset man on push back aircraft will be spoken too.

Oh I see where you are coming from " allthatglitters' Because everything points to the engineer NOT being responsible and the Pilot or airtaffic control being liable then the Engineer will wear the blame.

"SQ pilots rarely look out their windows, and just recently I had a similar incursion by an SQ 777 cutting us up. No doubt it was not worthy of a mention in the lyin city, just as other incidents involving SQ aircraft over the years"
What an idiotic statement this is !

Does any "true" T-7 drivers out there care to comment on whether they can see the wing-tips from the cockpit.?
Without winding down the cockpit windows that is.
:cool:
Please dun mention the cameras as they do not have a view of the wing tips
either. :mad:

you cant see your wingtips on 777. unlike the 747-400

Has there been any official explanation for the fender-bender?

From the net:


On 19 April 2005, a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-200ER stopped 194 meters (640 feet) beyond a painted stop line at Bangkok International Airport. Its left wing tip was clipped by a Thai Airways International Airbus A330-300 taxiing for take-off


Anyone remember this one?

or SQ B747-400F hits Royal Air Maroc B737-500 at Brussels
11th September 2006.

Royal Air Maroc proven after investigation to be in the wrong. So put that one away...closed item.

Excuse me Gengis but from the LHS of a B747-400 you can see the number one engine and the wing tip! Honest!:)

that's what i meant - on 747-400 you CAN see your wingtips (& yes the outboard engine too), unlike on the 777 you can't.

Sorry Gengis, I completely misread that, my mistake!:uhoh:
