    Oh! This flight was over a year ago and was in the old Club world prodct – smaller screen and no AVOD. I’m reliably informed that this particular aircraft has now been outfitted with Next Generation Club World with the larger screens and AVOD. In any case I tend to spend most of the flight listening to my Ipod :)

    The personTV. was it AVOD? (audio/video on demand?)

  6. 2pb on September 6th, 2010 1:29 am

    @Tescok Sorry what do you mean by ptv?

  7. Tescok on September 6th, 2010 2:01 am

    FlightSimKid, Idle reverse can be permitted down to about 20knts or taxing speed. Even though you see the reversers open its general practice, after 50-60knots to idle reverse. Becuase full reverse etc will kick up a lot of FOD.

    I hope that helps.

    Yea he did
    But the reason why i think he did it was to catch that taxiway

    Dear All,

    I have some questions about psychology:

    (1) Why do we enjoy flying “Flight Simulator”?

    (2) What does make us to play Flight Simulator over and over again?

    (3) What is the fun to flying in a way that can only be accomplish in “Flight Simulator”? (eg. landing an 757 on a carrier on the sea)

    (4) Why do we like to fly different models of aeroplanes with different external paintings in different airlines?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

    You are, i didn’t know that… and yes i noticed it but idk, because I know that some aircraft engines take some time before they engine shield (or what ever it’s called) closes, about 3 – 5 or so seconds… but as i said idk

    On landing I noticed something, I don’t know if It was me but In aviation, your prohibited to use reverse thrust below 60 Knots. It looked like when the pilot disengaged reverse thrust he was doing about 20knots. Anyone else notice this?

  14. stonebridgeboy86 on September 6th, 2010 6:20 am

    On landing? That’s the reverse thrust in action, slowing the plane down.. Unless someone else can correct me

    Thank you for the comments and rating. Hope you get to visit very soon. Barbados, and all of the Caribbean islands, are all lovely in their own unique way.

    Not sure what you mean – at whatt time does it appear in the video? do you mean the grayish strip near the bottom? I think that gray strip is always there.

  20. PALLEN8112 on September 6th, 2010 10:10 am

    Is it just me or did you loose a panel from the engine during flight?
