I saw the videos of the raging firestorm engulfing the A-350 on a runway before I heard any of the audio on Tuesday, so I assumed the accident had occurred here in America. From the pictures alone, the loss of life should have been mind-numbing. Considering how many close calls we had last year at major airports in the US, my assumptions were justifiable, some 19 serious near collisions.

Welcome to my first trip report of 2024! Introduction This trip came about when I spotted some good airfares from Singapore Airlines thanks to social media. The airfare for flights flying out from Kuala Lumpur to Europe was eye-catching airfare on both one-way and return flights and flying to Frankfurt caught my attention as I had not flown to this city before.

I ordered a new Concorde battery from SkyGeek on December 21st and it finally arrived on January 4th. I managed to remove the old and replace with the new, having to get these beat up bones to work in the baggage compartment. Getting old ain't for sissies. Next up a short flight for maintenance to have the left main down lock switch replaced. I have all the parts so I'll fly gear down to either N57 New Garden or KGED Delaware Coastal for service, whoever can get me in the quickest.

I have been running AirlineReporter for over 15 years now and over that time I have been very lucky to experience some pretty rad things and I genuinely treasure all my adventures. Every now and again, someone will ask me which trip was my favorite and often my answers will differ. That said, there are three that consistently stand out. Since I was recently reminiscing about those good times, I figured why not share… #1 – RWANDAIR’S FIRST 737 DELIVERY FLIGHT (September 2011) Rw

The rectangular course is one of the most basic maneuvers pilots learn during flight training. While it may sound boring, there’s a lot to learn from this simple pattern. In our latest Video Tip of the Week, we walk through each step of the rectangular course, with in-cockpit video and 3D animations. Even if you’re already an experienced pilot, this maneuver is a great way to keep your stick and rudder skills sharp.

December 20, 2023 Update! Ramp parking at the preferred airport Zurich (LSZH) is not available this year do to construction. Hangar parking is available but extremely expensive with prohibitive cancelation policies. Repositioning is likely going to be the best option for most operators unless they have already coordinated parking for the duration. During the WEF event in Davos in 2024, all standard Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures will be temporarily suspended.

With the New Year holiday in the rear view mirror, it is time to follow through on those resolutions like losing weight, exercising more, spending more time with family, starting the Great American Novel, etc. Personally, I have made two resolutions: 1) I am not going to eat any olives (I hate olives and haven’t eaten one since I was a kid and figured out I hate olives) and 2) not to kill myself (or anyone else) with an airplane.
