Saba with winnair is great. Takeoff literally feels like driving the twin otter off the edge of a cliff.

Avherald comments are… let’s say argumentative but the initial guesses are localizer deviations which can be due to a variety of reasons. This is interesting quote:Another AF 777 go-around on 5th April 2022 quote:Super holding short? Read the comments if you want bickering on the definition of “panicked”, complaints about speaking French and complaining about automation. (Because of course a human couldn’t react strangely to the localizer bars going haywire while potentially not being able to see the runway) hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Apr 7, 2022 |

Wasn’t France making some noise about 5G towers messing with sensors for low flying planes? I know some places are removing them in close proximity to airports here.

No, France doesn’t have those 5G bands. And the interference from that would be errant radar altimeter readings which wouldn’t cause confusion about the aircraft’s course regardless.

It might’ve been that there was something else wrong with this plane too, two holes in the cheese slices lined up to make it more dramatic.

A couple weeks ago we had a plane that did something weird that I can't remember and the pilots said that the aircraft told them it was a 5g anomaly. I think they were at FL340? I did a  at our briefing about it.

I did a This is unlikely for technical reasons I can talk about at more length when I'm not phone posting from the shitter at work Generally though, the 5g interference issues are only expected to cause any potential issues with radar altimeters, and aren't expected to be able to cause issues under normal conditions. The world is full of abnormal conditions, though...

Even if the 5G COVID gremlins screw up the radar altimeter, that still isn't connected to lateral navigation. Being off alignment from the runway is a different issue.

Found out today that BWI still has some of the mobile lounges: No clue what on earth they’re for since I’ve never seen them in use, but they were in international departures so maybe there’s something over there that needs them.

Sincere questions: what does Russia lack now that they are cut off from the global supply chain in regards to their airliners? Also, if some of that is "software updates" and "other communications from the maker/subcontractors", is the Russian plan at this point literally warez? Are they going to jailbreak their 747-8is?

Tires, for one thing. They might be able to get Chinese knockoffs but we all can see how those are working out. I would also guess that there are some fancy and very expensive fluids they can’t get. O2 generators seem like a bad thing to carry around past the expiration date, too, as ValueJet might remind everyone.

That ship is going to sink. it's worse than that, because even if sanctions get lifted, no lessor is going to accept those planes back because the maintenance records can no longer be trusted.
