This terminology was implemented both to advise other aircraft of possible increased wake turbulence, and also because different runway separation standards are applied when an aircraft follows a "heavy" on takeoff or landing.johnv777https://www.blogger.com/profile/16349598403252209777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-62065435605357551472012-05-04T17:31:40.374-04:002012-05-04T17:31:40.374-04:00found this blog, and love the detailed information...found this blog, and love the detailed information.

And wha...Hey Uresh, thank again for a great update. And what a discussion al off the sudden. Now I can't stay behind :D. <br /><br />First the GE engines on april 23, Can't be ln 50 because it wasn't in the EMC. <br />On april 6 you can see it leave the EMC and be moved to the flightline. It disappears after a few days and so does ln55. <br />But I don't see them moving it back again right? <br />I think the one that with engines on it was l/n55 with decals removed to prep it for paint. (it was the one used when Obama was there). Where they are hiding the others i don't get :P <br /><br />And you can see the difference between an ANA and UA the UA have black with blue the ANA have white with blue. <br /><br />Last remark, why do the move them so often? seems like a big wast of time and resources? bit more planning and you only have to move them when you need them. <br /><br />Cya guysJoostdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418169821808809686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-65621762811319986252012-05-04T15:45:18.586-04:002012-05-04T15:45:18.586-04:003.

The press reports on ZA237 (LN46) in Charleston describe it as the <i>second</i> 787 for Air India. The first would be ZA233/LN29/VT-AND. <br /><br />2. My best guess is that ZA236/LN35/VT-ANH is down in San Antonio for a post test flight refurbishment. So presumably we should expect her back in a couple months.<br /><br />3. On April 23, Matt Cawby had a picture of a 787 being fitted with GE engines in the EMC. <br /><br />4. Possibly the same aircraft shows up in the big flight line shot for that day at the fuel dock. You can kind of see the engines -- and in any case, the black tape over the windows has been pulled. I haven't seen a photo of this aircraft since, so presumably it's been in getting painted. The tail is blue -- one of the United aircraft?Michael Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252957908283886399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-25666869195205772562012-05-03T21:50:52.191-04:002012-05-03T21:50:52.191-04:00This is great as always Uresh.
