New Airbus Pictures fron the air.

Newps.. I was referring to IFR separation rules.. as both the A380 and the
Bo taking the pictures were on IFR clearances..

what that heck are you talking about... safety... photo ops?

Anyone can safely fly 1000ft above a heavy.. or in ATC approach
airspace.. IFR.. 3 miles lateral.




ATC only needs one foot above a heavier aircraft to provide wake
turbulence separation, 100 feet above is the practical minimum as that's
what the mode C reports. Three miles only works until you are directly
behind.

Wow thats a big vertical stabilizer. I hope its glued on better than
previous models!

On previous models, the stabilizer was much weaker than the rest of
the aircraft. Now the entire aircraft has been weakened so that it
all fails as a single unit in a coherent way. If anything, the
under-strength wings will go first.

wow, is there anything invovling aviation that you aren't ill informed
about?

Any references? Really, you think they weakened the whole thing, that makes
way more sense than putting additional spars in the VS. Or maybe, just
maybe, they strengthened the vertical stabilizer in an effort to not repeat
the past. But hey you're a idiot so who knows how you think.

I was flying into Van Nuys this morning IFR when ATC told us to look 11:00
and we should be able to see the new Airbus's making its first Flight into

I Tivoed the local news covering the landing at LA. If you can find
any on the web, it's interesting.

The wind was pretty calm, but the captain was working the rudder a LOT
on landing, and it got significantly sideways on touchdown. Very odd.

Noticed that as well, I figured it was a crosswind.

I was watching the right and left wings flexing during the touochdown
and rollout.

Or the Martians did it.

Actually, I think the misengineered the wing, making it too weak. Who knows
what else they messed up?

Even ATC fell under the spell? Photo ops first, safety second. Or
was "traffic a factor" legitimately in this case? (Seems unlikely if
you were descending into VNY and the Scarebus was descending into LAX,
unless that wake turbulence is even worse than they've been saying.)

your cluelessness knows no bounds , does it?
