How to contact Caribbean Airlines

If you Google "Caribbean Airlines contact us' and then click on "Customer relations", you will see a claim form for your lost baggage. Their fax number is listed as 1-868-669-0336. Good luck.

APU Vs IDG fuel burn.

The APU must burn more fuel than what could be saved from a disconnected IDG. The size of the APU turbine I am sure would consume more fuel than what could be saved from a disconnected IDG.

All lift also produces drag.

Due to the fact that the autoslat will only work if you have the slats extended I suspect that he got into the habit of extending the slats once he was below 250 KTS as an extra safety net....

Is it law?

I understand that 250 kts below 10,000 ft is a law and ATC cannot approve it except in an emergency so if there is an incident you are held accountable if you were exceeding 250 below 10,000. When...

Fuel tankering.

I figure it should be MLW plus trip fuel to go and come. You would still have to check that you are not exceeding other limits like the ZFW and MTOW.

Landing North, landing South.

To be unambiguous it should say Landing TO the North or TO the South. North or South refers to the direction of landing. In other words "landing North" means landing on R/W 34 or 35 or 36 or 01 or...
