My first 100 Bus hours- reflections on the A-320

Oh... 38s, I was thinking 357magnums or 44 magnums. Well they
certainly ARE magnums for sure. Well, maybe they could be 38 SPECIALS.

No, No, No. Why does everyone think I am insinuating things. I'm really a
nice guy, to people who are nice to me. You have not been put in any other
category, by me.


Thanks, mate )


My question is why would the cargo use make the roll being different than a
passenger use? Also, I always thought excessive dihedral would just require
more rudder, and that it would return to level flight more easily.


But I've heard that it's the dihedral that causes difficulties in
banking heavy cargo airplanes, and that was how the anhedral concept
was thought up. I could be wrong )

Ah....I bet that discussion dealt with "high" wing cargo planes where
all of the load is below the wing such as in the C-5 with its anhedral.
The same situation doesn't hold true for a "low" wing cargo plane where
most of the load is carried above the wing. :-) Long distance
communications is difficult....Eh?

Yep

Some difficulties with Skype installation here, Bob; apparently there's
a firewall against it by my ISP

I'm having an IT chap help me out with some 'port tunneling', whatever
that is...

I'm betting that all of the A-380s wind-up in all cargo service. :-)

I've had the same thought from time to time. A pax craft that size will
have niche applications, to be sure, but any broadbased passenger usage will
require extensive reworking of ground facilities. Not so to any great
extent for cargo. Just remote park, gross 'er out, and go!

That's already been happening. Terminal three a London Heathrow has already
been upgraded to take the A380 with double deck docking stations and extra
strong taxiway and parking. Many of the airports on the routes to Asia from
Europe are or are nearly are A380 ready.

It would be a bit problem flying into the US. Its bad enough a 777 load of
passengers trying to get through immigration. By the time a load of A380
passengers got through the vacation would be over and its time to go home:-)

At least the cabin crew won't bust you for being on "baby mins"!

Actually, we have an ops spec that relieves the high mins requirement as we
train Cat III.

Lots more seats than our carrier who are you with?

The other guys.. :-)
I don't disclose too many details on Usenet because of the loons. Make some
changes to the reply address and send me an e-mail. I used to fly with some
of your senior pilots in previous jobs.

Nice post Capt. Thanks for sharing. What is your route? Overseas?
West Coast? East Coast?...

Seniority is good, if you're at the top. I end up going throughout the
system. I prefer the Caribbean routes but many times don't have a choice.
