Uzbekistan Airways UZB3511 UK-67003 is on it's way to Christchurch and should overfly Sydney again.

Just passing south of Lithgow so I should get it overhead in about 5 mins

[Stefan Perkas]

So is KE using their B744 or was it just a one (or two) off during this week?
I might visit the airport on Sunday, so it would be good to know.

Cheers,

Hi Hendra,

The KE B744's are permanent until March 2013. Gernally it is B772's over the winter and upgrade to B744's for the summer.

I didn't know where to put this post, but i have a question and it relates to JAL 777-246, JA711J Which landed yesterday (2/11/12). Here is a photo, in it you will notice that only one engine is running (No 1), the other has been shut down. Question is, is this a normal practice where one engine has been shut down whilst on final?

Thought I'd ask considering i don't look into the tech side of things.

Its just an optical illusion,notice how the left engine looks smaller than the right one.

[Rowan McKeever]

It wouldn't be normal as both engines would be required in case of a go-around. If it had been shut down it would've been for tech reasons (ie vibrations, pressures, some other indication on the flight deck).

I was looking more at the screw, if you look at No:1 it's distorted because of the quick revolutions it obviously makes the white line blurry, but No:2 is clear and distinct so my thought was that it was shut down. I hope that makes sense.....

Rowan that's what I would've thought, or as a hypothetical, a bird strike in No:1 in which case No:2 would have to be on just in case.

You have just answered your own question because of the optical illusion making the right hand engine looking bigger the screw looks like its not moving and with the left engine looking smaller the screw looks blurry.Anyhow if it was landing on one engine there would have been fire trucks etc on standby and we would have heard something by now.

Fair enough thanks Paul.

[Winston Khong]

Any idea on when Prince Charles and Camilla are landing in Sydney? Thanks in advance...

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Friday was mentioned on the schedule after Adelaide and Hobart, but no idea of times etc Winston.

[Winston Khong]

No worries. I heard on the 5pm news that they are due to arrive in a couple of hours, so I'll head to the airport now.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Oh, okay! Will see when it is close, nothing on my PC as yet.

[Rory Delaney]

I thought that the Air Tahiti Nui A340-300 operations for Air Calin were finished?

Royal Australian Air Force Airbus KC-30A (A330-203MRTT) A39-003 is in Sydney at the moment.

[Rory Delaney]

Air Pacific FJ910 back to Nadi which was a 747, was cancelled today. Any reason for this cancellation?

[Kurt A]

Air Pacific will be wet leasing Boeing 777-200 CS-TFM from Euro Atlantic Airways to cover a Boeing 747-400 C check to be conducted in Singapore.
Back into Sydney again today covering the delayed FJ911, inbound YSSY at 1821 according to FlightAware.

Arriving today before the rain.

[Sarah C]

Anyone have any insight as to why DQ-FJL is at the QF ramp, with FJK in SIN? Having both 747's out of service wouldn't be ideal.

[Brian Wilkes]

Shot Kurt, looks good!
