:hehe: Can you imagine the sheer panic onboard this aircraft? Lining up for a smooth

[Rich]

landing into Dusseldorf, ground closing in, runway comes into view & then the aircraft gracefully dips her left wing and starts swerving toward the terminal building.

Really not sure what the Captain was thinking tbh.

Disappointing use of the correct terminology

That skipper wants a punch in the throat.

Imagine doing a flyby with the gear down. It's... inelegant :-(

I suspect ATC would have been panicking if they'd seen him on approach with gear up, though. Still not sure what they could have done about it.

I mean if we can't even say plane and do some :fishing: for the Clogg wearer then what has AWIMB come to... sad seens imo

[Sir C]

By the time they noticed the gear (if they did at all) the most they would do is advise him to 'Check three greens'.

I suspect that the aircraft was flying a visual circuit and advised ATC that they would make a 'low approach and go around', which is what you say for the tapes when you're going to beat the airfield up.

What's golf go to do with it?

Did we ever establish exactly how shít golf is?

I'm going to go for extremely shít.

No alcohol in 60 hours. I'm sure my internal organs are starting to break down.

****ing hell C, even I got bladdered last night, made it to closing time too, and I don't do school nights anymore!

I'm trying to decide whether to extend until tomorrow.

I think I can do it.

I turned down a ticket to Bayern last night - was in work til 9pm. Went to the pub for second half. The first pint (and first pint since Saturday) was undoubtedly as good as drinking from the Holy Grail itself. That's what you have to look forward to. And yes - extremely **** - I believe chip-pisser-in-chief Pokster plays golf

Go for it, you'll be so proud of yourself. I'm not even taking the piss here...

Do the wheels on your little Chipmunk retract c?

Skipper? Is that not a boat term.

Anyhow Michael O'Leary has more or less lifted the lid on the whole charade and told us that these planes fly themselves.

[Sir C]

I don't have a Chipmunk, h, although it is a charming aeroplane and I have had great fun flying it.

Did you know that 'Brakes Off' is an item in a HASELL check because of a peculiarity of the Chipmunk?

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Of course I knew you cheeky irish cnut

Much flying terminology is derived from the navy; we have a captain and a first officer, who are both pilots. The aircraft has a rudder, which yaws it to port or starboard. We flightplan in nautical miles and measure speed in knots.

Every day's a schoolday for such an open-minded, inquisitve fellow as yourself, sw. wd.

Do you use port and starboard as terms then??

Always seems massively ****ed up to me. What is wrong with right and left.

Most terminology is about ensuring clarity of meaning in a noisy environment; saying 'affirm' for yes and 'negative' for no, for example, but some is just tradition, I suppose.

Ze Chermans, innit. Along with their Viking cousins. "Star .." comes from their word Steuer meaning "steering, or to steer; from the days when ships went from two steering oars to just one. Most people are right-handed so the port side (Back, in their money) would always be at the steering chap's .. well .. back.

As they say, Steuern zahlt man von rechts wegen; Taxes (another meaning for "Steuern") are paid from the/because it is, right. So you can easily remember it.
