Do you mean the display circled in Blue?

Its called the display controller, it controls the various NAV MODES, Sensors, Speed display, Thrust etc etc. There are two, one per pilot, its also in the G550 but harder to see in the photo that I took.

An early start on Saturday saw me at Dublin at 5am for the start of the arrivals.
As the morning went on the weather played ball and I was happy with the results.
I even got trigger happy with Ryanair and Aerlingus

Thanks for looking

Great shots there nial

Was just wondering is there normally 3 Ethiopian routing through Dublin and where are they going too, I was under the impression that it was only the outbound to LAX that stopped in dublin

There’s also a flight to Canada (Toronto or Vancouver, can’t remember) that transits regularly these days, not sure of a third.

An Airbus A388 VH-OQI at SydneyAirport - you can see a person by the nosewheel which shows the immense size of this plane.

Niall Moran posted some amazing photos on the Aviation & Aircraft *no discussion* page

I am particularly interested in any information on the following:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/niallsaviation/33486191688/

My Wife is Thai, & these planes seem to be Thai also. Also, the 2 tail-fins, are they different colour coded? And if so, they are 2 different owners?

Any information, much appreciated.

@Jude13, they are having an airshow at your local air base tomorrow 1630-1800 and Saturday 1330-1500 and again 1630-1800 local times. It was fun to watch last year.

They had an test air raid siren at 1pm yesterday, I had to fly out Wednesday night so missed all the fun. I have a team right beside the air base in Riyadh and regularly see jets whizzing past, too quick to photographed and also not the best thing to do on a government site.

That's a fantastic shot. Really captures the unique shape of the inner wing - supposedly the first aircraft wing designed as a continuous curve rather than a number of straight sectiions.

It is certainly is a surprising outline. As an aside, the aircraft is absolutely massive when it passes over you at that distance!

Hi,
Will there be any photography enthusiasts at Dublin on Sunday around lunch time?
I’d really like a pic of an aircraft that’s being retired next week.
Please pm me if you’ll be out that way.

Have been on Aer Lingus flights over the weekend and is it a new thing for them to insist over the ear headphones can’t be worn jurying take off and landing? Haven’t heard this before and certainly can’t understand the logic to it, especially when they specifically say in ear are allowed.

I was chastised before about 6 years ago for having in-ear ones. I'd forgotten to take them out and had noting playing on them.
It's so you actually hear the safety demo and in case the worst happens you hear the instructions given to you, just like dimming cabin lights and leaving blinds open.

That doesn't hold up though, they announced over the ear had be removed but in ear could be left in. Both types have noise cancelling so someone with in ear can be continue to watch/listen and they would not be able to hear announcements, even though no matter what headphones you have on you will always here an announcement IMO, it's more whether you choose to engage with it or not.

It's not really a choice. If the airline have it as part of their safety rules then it's comply or don't travel. You agreed to comply with all crew instructions when you bought the ticket.

My guess is that they had to draw a line somewhere, all earphones off, or just the big cans. Somebody decided to permit inear.
Or perhaps the potential kinetic energy of large headphones was a consideration.

And my in ear Bose are a lot different to my wife's big over the head Bose even though both are noise cancelling. The airline does plan on announcement system potentially being non functioning in a serious incident.

In the past I've been asked to remove my inear on a Ryanair flight, even though I had switched the music off for the demo. I understand that the crew are probably instructed to actively police this rule rather than rely on Joe Public saying "Its OK, I turned it off"

It's an IAA mandated safety restriction for larger headphones, FR added it to their automated safety announcement too - Listen here;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH8Fc3FzDL0

The reasoning is larger headphones especially cable types can become trip hazards in an emergency evacuation also together with wireless headphones the larger volume can prohibit hearing evacuation announcements.

In-ear are permitted at the moment however this will probably change shortly with the release of Apple's AirPods which come with a noise cancelling feature.

I had my post removed on the pic page of Boards - sorry for deviating Mods. I forgot that there is no comment allowed on that site.

I was mentioning about Manama, and what a dump it is. Another person also commented after me, and I hope my opening message there didn't cause Him/Her any hassle.

I only found websites for £ sterling which calculates that £15 - 40 - 0 was about £341 in 2000 prices. Used the inflation calculator to get £578 in 2019
