Prague update (Merged)

[BOAC]

Thank you, FD, for the update. It may be better attached to the 'sticky', but that's for the forum mods.

Glad it has settled down ok in PRG, and despite what others may think, we appreciate the 'heads-up' on possible problems. See you Tuesday.

Indeed! Please bear in mind that the first post have been made a week befor closure. Yesterday I have compiled a conclusion related to present situation that is progressively improving. However it is only a few moments since I have been able to post it. It is rather long, sorry.

I think that by now this thread needs to be unstuck (pretty please) since it bears a lot of outdated information.

For a prepared pilot it, even the worst-case scenario should have been a no-brainer. If the weather some time prior to your arrival justified the ILS being put on, good for you.

I am far from feeling hurt by your post, yet the go-around threads reach double the postings of this one and twice as many views.

Cheers,
FD.

FlightDetent,

We start B777 operations to PRG in June, I'm therefore extremely grateful for the information which you have supplied and the time you have taken to do so.

This for me is what PPrune Tech is all about.

Thanks


Mutt.

No problems yesterday, despite TS activity, and although company brief showed ILS 31 u/s until 16/5 and NDB/DME briefed, ILS was on ATIS as FD says and fully 'S'. EAG booklet still shows DOBEN1R, and 2R goes out of DOBEN through OKL, but we got the southern 'direct' route.
