"Meaner than you" schreef in bericht ... they need a longer runway to fly the A380 into LAX Wtf is that cement mixer doing there? ;-) Strange, why was the A-380 assigned to RW 24R the shortest RW in LAX???

The new longer runway is under construction, and is not ready for the A380.
As was seen with the cement mixer, work is still being done. But, it was a pretty empty airplane, and had plenty of room for landing on 24R. I think they said there were only 8 passengers on board, and it didn't have an interior installed yet. Dale can probably give you more info on the runways.

Does that mean it directly projects the gs instead of reflecting it from 1000 feet down the runway? For a little background explanation for those who don't know how it works: The antenna sits at the touchdown point (the point where the glide path actually touches the r/w), 750-1250 feet down the runway & offset 250-650 feet from centerline. It projects a beam toward the the landing path at an angle of 1.4 (usually) degrees. We use capture effect now, which is based on the principle that a receiver will lock on to the stronger of two signals & reject the weaker. I have not been to school for the end-fire so I don't know its theory yet, but it does basically the same thing, just using a different method. The antenna sits at about the same point. Instead of being on a tall mast, it sits almost flat on the ground, similar to a localizer antenna. It is used where terrain is not smooth (since the CEGS uses an image antenna as part of its operation & requires smooth ground plane around it to reflect the image). I will try to get some pictures & post them showing the different antennas. -- Dale G Elhardt Cypress Ca "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle." http://home.comcast.net/~laxet/ http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=7702 |

That's a heavy...
A new Air France Airbus A320 making what was supposed to be a fly-by at a 1998 airshow. The pilot claims the highly automated control system on the A320 failed to respond properly to commands. The official investigation blamed pilot error as the cause, but it was later revealed that the aircraft 's black boxes had been switched after the crash. What do you suppose really happened? |
