Impossible or Incorrect flights.

(1/4) > >>

EHM-1703 Philip:
Guys,

Earlier this week I had an email from a member about a flight that was clearly impossible:

EHM-C535 (LGAV-YMML) - A 747-400F would never make this distance.

For that reason, I am going to endeavor to update as many of these flights as possible over the coming months. I know there are a considerable number of others out there that are not really within the limits of the aircraft assigned. Unfortunately due to a particularly bad virus, I have lost all my old emails, so i lost a lot of correspondance regarding these. Please add any impossible or troublesome flights you find to the topic so I can look in to it. Please add details of why it is impossible, i.e Out of range, Runway too short etc.

Many thanks.

Hi Phil,

As a matter of fact it is NOT impossible at all: I flew it's return flight, YMML to LGAV (EHM-C536)!

Good, you can't file the flight via FLogger, but with a bit of creativity it can very well be done with filing the flight manually.

Mine was done with a stop-over in Singapore (WSSS) and looked as follows:

YMML-WSSS (block / flying time : 07:21 / 06:54 hours)
WSSS-LGAV (block / flying time : 11:49 / 11:23 hours)

Made a total block / flying time for this flight of 19:10 / 18:17 hours. Good for the score, right!? ;)

Don't want to start this whole discussion here once again (there are enough such threads already), but i would consider it a loss for the timetable and a pitty if such flights would be removed or otherwise (or what do you mean with "endeavor to update"..?) Would prefer to see some functionality in the FLogger with which a stop-over (for refuelling or the-likes) can be carried out.

Many thanks in advance! :)
Best regards,

Stef

ps. yes, him ja... :'(

EHM-1703 Philip:
Stef,

You are spot on with your comment. My plan is, not to completely remove the flight, rather as you suggest, split it in to two legs. This will take some planning and implementing so I don't see it taking place overnight, but I will spend a few hours on this once per month so if you have any more of these split leg flights.... Let me know, this is exactly what I want to sort out.

Thanks. ;)

EDIT* Not sure I would split it the way you flew it though.... that's the long way round! :)

EHM-1570 Bruce:
I have 2 flights that I think should be investigated, firstly flights into and out of LPFL Flores in a class 6 aircraft, this runway is  only 4500ft, which is too short for this class of aircraft, secondly flying out of SKCL Bogota in class 7 aircraft, this runway is only 9000ft long, it is possible to land on this runway, but to take off with a large fuel load the runway is too short. I tried to take off in the B744 on a flight to EGLL and the aircraft crashed on take off ( V2 was 175kts and at the end of the runway my airspeed was only 157kts, result was it crashed). It may be possible to take off if you drastically reduce the ZFW, but that would be unrealistic.

EHM-1671 Ben:
Just one flight from a previous thread;

H335 LGAV - RJTT

It cannot be made with the 757's range - maybe we could just update it to a Class 7 flight?

Sorry for not posting it here first! :]
