Re: LGW - EFL

have you experienced one?
No, my lav is huge (or at least I want to believe that), but that's what they say...
The sink is remarkably small and really not fit for purpose. If you get a chance to investigate on an A320neo, I recommend it for the giggle.

Re: LGW - EFL

The designers obviously have drunk from the same pool of koolaid, the size really is miniscule.
It's Not_the size what matters...

Re: LGW - EFL

As I had never rode on a 737 Max before I was greatly amused to observe that the sink in the aft lavatory *is* miniscule. I estimate it to be about 25x15cm Also, of interest are the multi purpose doors. The toilet doors double as attendant seats. Quite an interesting design choice. Fixed? Or are th...

LGW - EFL

A pink dawn welcomes us as we pass through the cloud layer and reach our cruising altitude of 36,000ft, contrasting the grey and unwelcoming gnat-piss rain at ground level. We are travelling on a new plane today, an Airbus A321 neo – a “next generation” aircraft. The normal EasyJet garish orange is ...

Re: Norwegian exceptionalism

I once noticed a roll of toilet paper at work that said "Made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials". The combination of the concepts "toilet paper" and "post-consumer recycled" did not paint a good picture in my mind. :mrgreen: It tastes fine, you have absolutely...

Re: ERGSPENSIVE PRONG

Question: although the pilots are "ultimately in charge of the aircraft" it strikes me that they were "doing as they were told" and visibility of the pole's proximity to the taxi-way may not be foremost in their minds. What is the general consensus of the lines of "fault&quo...

Re: ERGSPENSIVE PRONG

The pole went right through the slat and the fixed leading edge. These structures are sized for the airloads, and to transfer those loads into the wing box. Not beefy. When the pole reached the front spar of the wing box (which is beefy structure) is when the pole started leaning over. You can see ...

Re: Uncontrolled airspace?

Even though, I am ass-hat, outsider parlour talker, I do have a PPL and a crude understanding of uncontrolled airspace. First, I’ll say that it’s a little complicated and some Google work on the AIM will give you a rough understanding. Edit- a linky: https://www.gleim.com/aviation/faraim/?fullTextN...
