@navdeepdahiya55 Kee Garmiyoon ke swagat kee tayyari karein?

@capttopgun Kya?

Delhi's Palam Airport observatory reported 19mm rainfall ending 8:30am today, It is the highest rainfall recorded in the span of 24 hours in the month of April atleast since 2010. Yesterday, it was very Delhi specific rain, rare from a feeble WD but heat convection worked in it's favour. Now back to clear skies and temperatures heading to 40°c from today itself. Summer mode on! #DelhiRains #Summers

@manishasinghal @TRE_320 But that drastically reduces the paying pool , it has always been a very fare sensitive market 😑

@TRE_320 Agree . But AI is commanding decent fares, they aren’t short selling.

A loss of $2.4 billion !! just how does an airline survive this when oil is sky high, dollar stinging the rupee and never before kind of geopolitical volatility- Air India will have to rough this very turbulent phase out- seeking aid from parent companies and also a little dole from the govt… is this enough? More so when Air India never got any time to stabilise its ops.

@TRE_320 @manishasinghal Especially in these harsh times, no let up in sight…

@manishasinghal It is a brutal business.

@MohitBiala @Turbinetraveler With the regulator in tow 😬

@Turbinetraveler Flt Safety Dept started frothing from d mouth after dis event 🫣

Meanwhile in Mogadishu, Boeing 727 pilot: “Hold my beer—I can make that approach.” Now that’s thrilling to watch!

@IXG_News @TRE_320 7 saal milenge uske liye 🙂

@TRE_320 Agar DE to DE de raha hai toh explore kar lo. Waise bhi Rickshaw chalane ka maza hi kuch aur hai 😅.....chala chala lavkar phirun gya

Got a call for an upgrade to the A350. Quite surprising the wheels are in motion so early in the day… Don’t feel like reinventing the wheel at this stage in my life. Should I accept and make the move or my talents lie elsewhere 👨🏻‍✈️ #pilot #pilotlife #Airbus #justasking

@trend_nosig @MohitBiala had been advocating this from many years ago, even when the training guys always quoted the then FCTM - “there is no difference” !!! He himself deployed many mitigation measures and reminders to remind himself that he was riding an A321 when on one 😊

Attention Airbus 321 Pilots ! Ever since the advent of the 321 Neo, we've seen a spate of dramatic landings. Hard ones, long ones and the more than occasional tail strike. She came with a modified flare law which got activated 1 second after passing 100' RA. The airplane didn't pitch down either, unlike its predecessors. x.com/trend_nosig/st… For the longest time, Airbus maintained that the flare technique was the same as the shorter siblings. However, in the latest update to the FCTM, the flare height for the A321 has now been modified to 40' instead of the earlier 30'. Inter alia, the "actual" flare height depends on a variety of factors. Let's quickly review the FCTM. 1) Compared to typical flare height at sea level for flat and adequate runway lengths, the flight crew needs to be aware of external factors that have an impact on the flare height, particularly: ‐ High airport elevation: An increased altitude results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope. ‐ Steeper approach slope ‐ Tailwind: An increased tailwind results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope. ‐ Increase in runway slope: An increase in runway slope and/or rising terrain in front of the runway affects the radio height callouts until the runway threshold. This can cause late flare inputs if the flight crew relies on those callouts to assess the height and start the flare. This may also cause a visual misperception of being high. 2) The weight of the aircraft has a direct impact on the VAPP. Depending on the aircraft variant, the flight crew needs to anticipate the flare height for aircraft with higher weight and inertia. Note: The cumulative effects of any of the above factors combined for one approach will require the anticipation of the flare maneuver. If the flare is initiated too late, then the pitch changes do not have sufficient time to enable the necessary change to the aircraft trajectory. Late, weak or released flare inputs increase the risk of a hard landing. For a stabilized approach, the flare height is around 30 ft for A318/A319/A320, and around 40 ft for A321. A flare in time, saves a 2.9 (g). A big thanks to Capt @MohitBiala for bringing this to my attention a few weeks ago.

@TRE_320 @Platypuss_10 Some Operators allow initial Thrust setting to stabilization by the CM2 if he/she is PF. Yes time check is by PM in OEM SOP, but then again Operator SSOP might be different. 🙄

@Platypuss_10 I’m confused about who is flying the airplane. If CM 2 is than why is CM 2 adding thrust partially then CM 1 setting the rest of it and if CM 2 is PF why is he checking the time which is the job of the PM 🤔

This looks absolutely Awesome — Cockpit PoV of an Airbus A350 Night Departure.

@Avinash_Chikte Congratulations 🎉 🎉 Consider SFI/SFE roles, you can still give a lot from your accumulated wealth of knowledge and experience, to Indian aviation 🙂👍

I flew my last airline flight yesterday, because today’s my 65th birthday. #pilotlife #futurepilots #pilot #retirement #avgeek

@thejagjitfan Congratulations!!! 🎊🍾

Bahut din baad khushi ka din aaya , one more wish fulfilled ,i am a proud father ( over enthusiastic ) of a JFO now ,thank you universe , thank you god and god sent people in my life i am incomplete without you ! Short of words today ,kya kahun , shabd nahin mil rahe ! #avgeeks

@y_blaze77338 @RaminNasibov @grok @grok is this available for 2280 as well?

@RaminNasibov @grok what is this for ?

Hagibis Folder SSD

@TRE_320 @WrightFlyer152 @Aviatorflyboy That was when AI was AI, not a corporate entity which is run by TATAs without RT at the helm. 😬

@WrightFlyer152 @Aviatorflyboy I was a management pilot for AI 😂

The duopoly is not helping when it comes to profits. And the way Air India is making losses i am not sure how long can the Tata group afford to keep it afloat

@aneeshp @dillidikudii Happy Birthday 🥳🥳🎈🎈

@dillidikudii happy birthday 🎂🎈

@sanjamsingh18 Try चिट्टा मक्खन 😋

Winter is here !

@thejagjitfan This Camcorder was so ahead of its time then. Superb quality captures, I had it myself

Are you this old ? Look what i found in the bag , truly an avgeeks delight ! Sadly its not playing the tapes i recorded when i was 23 , took this to singapore and malaysia in 2002 post marriage , amazing memories , nostalgia kicking in.

@trend_nosig @OnDisasters Those wipes though……😊

The software update is carried out using a PDL, Portable Data Loader. The actual update is being carried out in this photo. The entire process takes about 15 mins.

@TRE_320 @CSMIA_Official

Biggles law says… When you go on minimum fuel they’ll stick you into a hold. When you carry extra fuel they’ll vector you straight in, maintain maximum speed no delay 👨🏻‍✈️ #Pilot #pilotlife #training @CSMIA_Official

@puneet 20NM is very subjective, ATC can always make 15NM into 22NM to touch. Not clear if within 20DME radius. Happens quite often though. #loadbalancing

@ari_maj 🎯 Thanks for sharing the clarification, some people just sensationalize everything 😑

India is a far mature country to shut down commercial ✈️ for military exercise: The tri service exercise has no impact on flight ops: ➡️ Anything above 28,000 ft, which is nornal cruise level for airlines, is unaffected ➡️ A large section of the NOTAMed area on western entry points is shut but has no impact as Indian airlines avoid Pak airspace For foreign carriers it's an inconsequential diversion which doesn't impact flight time ➡️ Since Ahmedabd & Rajkot falls in the affected area, pilots need to climb or descend after a certain point is crossed. Again zero impact on flight time #aviation @detresfa_

@DTealy1 @airmainengineer Green is not green YKIYK

@airmainengineer Possibly green hydraulic fluid used for landing gear and flight controls in an Airbus 320

Is this fine or should i worry?
