@jakesonaplane_ @airwaysmagazine I read somewhere it's due to how the lower deck is configured. XLR works better for cargo than the LR. Something to do with a fuel tank, I think?

Part Four - the final episode from the summer ‘25 installment of #CockpitCasual drops tomorrow at 1400Z on YouTube. This one features among other things - a 737-800 acceptance/test flight down in Ecuador which is the first time I’ve covered this important task in the repertoire of a ferry pilot. I really enjoyed putting this one together - and there’s some cool bonus content at the end! If you’ve missed “A Life Nomadic” 1-3 check it out tonight so you’re up to date for this one…

I'm lucky if i see my kids even once in a year, and on the last visit my son asked lots of questions about inheritance. They will get a shock when I finally pop my clogs as I've left most of it to my next door neighbour. He's a lovely man who takes my bins out & picks up shopping

@SteveNomadic I think nomadic needs to setup a new base. Italy perhaps?

Again - I understand why some of my fellow aviation folks anticipated “doge” changes as ADDITION & not SUBTRACTION, but as usual it appears for now that even with the FAA they’re more of a demolition crew than a construction crew.

@SteveNomadic Increasing/improving efficiency does not always equate to "cutting". As you said, upgrades are long overdue. Sounds to me like that's what's coming.

First trip of the year for me! An A320 ferry from Jakarta to East Midlands in the UK. It’s been awhile but back by popular demand “Magic” @pm_roa and I are going to navigate our way up to the UK for this airplane to get painted for its next customer airline! You can follow along tomorrow Friday the 14th as we move #OMD100 from Asia to the UK over two days! #ferryflying #nomadiclife #omd #nomadic @Nomadic_OMD

@Astoway @Nomadic_OMD No, there is no right or left protocols for passing. Eastbound aircraft fly at odd altitudes and westbound aircraft at even altitudes and separated by 1000’.

@CLoraineSr @NTSB_Newsroom It's saved on YouTube. I had to switch off after the first few minutes which felt like a party conference introducing everyone.

Hey @AmericanAir, just between you and I, what’s going on? Any system wide issues? We have been waiting for over 30 minutes at the runway “waiting for numbers from ops”. They also had to check each name and seat number as we boarded because the computer wouldn’t scan the tickets. 🤔

@NiohBerg I misread your surname as "Borg" which seems appropriate for your tweet.

New Taliban rule: Women are no longer allowed to be visible from house windows under any circumstance. If the kitchen has a window, women can't even cook near it. This comes after other rulings that women are forbidden from making sounds or even speaking to each other.

@MrJamesMay Hi James, a little insight into this is that farming accounts often put all of the household bills through the farm accounts. Take from this what you will.

I’m trying to follow the great farming debate but, as an economics illiterate, I’m baffled. If a farm has a nominal value of, say, £3m but generates an income of only c. £40k, how can it really be worth that much? This is not, bt dubs, a loaded question. I’m interested.

@TorstenBell Sounds like the proceeds from this tax are going to be paltry. So what's the point of it?

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

@anon_welsh @LBC How long do you estimate a farm could survive if they chose not to sell their produce?

"I'm not your mate! I hate you, I think you're an idiot!" James O'Brien hasn't had an argument like this for years... Caller Charlie stands to inherit his dad's farm and isn't happy with the new tax changes.

@FireTepper @SteveNomadic American politics is so dumb, fight the policy not the player. UK is little better... Rugby instead of American football if you like.
