Most all that's in the story if folks would just take time to read it before they start asking questions. Last I remember, that is why they are posted.I knew about the nose cone without having to go into the twitter account because I read the story.
Many years ago a DC-9 ran into large hail over Georgia and lost both engines. The plane was at an altitude that would have allowed it to make Dobbins AFB without power but it unexplainedly executed a 360 degree turn which used up so much altitude it had to put down on a highway in a small town resulting in multiple fatalities.
Weren´t the pilots briefed before departing or say two hours before landing about this ominous weather so they could consider landing at an alternate airport to wait it out. Beviating right or left for 30-50 miles or whatever and then resume is not an option in this particular route because the 330s land at Buenos Aires with just the bare legal mínimum fuel in normal conditions.
I agree although somewhere in the story or one of the comments here somewhere I was reading that those Madrid flights came in sucking on fumes. That said, I don't know if ICAO has the FAA ETOPS standards in place or not, but it doesn't sound like it.
Standards are being followed in fact there have been a number of cases where 330s bound for Buenos Aires from European cities have landed at Rio or other cities due to higher than expected fuel burn. This is no different from west-bound UAL, DL and American 757s landing at Goose Bay and other airports in Newfoundland all the time after crossing the Atlantic when strong headwinds call for caution.
I would say a few new seat covers will be needed along with the paint and body work. That would have to about blow the pilots ears out too. Would have been a hand full flying then dealing with ATC, The ECAM/QRH for the busted window then trying to see to land. Yep i would need a new seat cover.
Hey, preacher1: On another storyline, Southwest is changing livery. I wonder if you would know what the load factor is for painted vs unpainted exterior. Weight in pounds per gallon dry and what fuel factors would be considered. Sorry to be off subject, but I consider you to have a wide range of knowledge.
Thanx....I guess I am a visual person and needed that. This doesn't look like it would disrupt the aerodynamics a great deal, but if the windshields looked the same way, it would make the last few hundred feet a little unnerving.
That would be the New "golf ball" exterior. Golf balls have dimples to allow for higher speeds. The dimples are actually helpful in adding distance and velocity. Since the damage has been done, why not do some flight testing? Interesting. A few years ago, Lexus tried it on the underbody of some models. I don't know what the outcome for that experiment was. It was supposed to reduce drag under the car.
Passengers aboard a harrowing transatlantic flight from Madrid to Buenos Aires might be kissing the ground this week. On September 9th, an AirEuropa Airbus A330 flying into Argentina’s Ezeiza Airport encountered a serious hailstorm in the last 20 minutes of a 12-hour flight, theblaze.com reports.
