Pilot would have to go chase the docket, so he could save 4c a litre

[Erik H. Bakke]

With the tank capacity of these birds, that would add up to a substantial amount. With the current fuel prices, of course they'd have to chase it ;)

[Ryan N]

With the tank capacity of these birds, that would add up to a substantial amount. With the current fuel prices, of course they'd have to chase it ;)

The fuel discount dockets only allow for a maximum of 150 litres, which won't get you far in an aircraft!!!!

They were doing flight testing on Rwy 16L yesterday (Auscal 1 VH-FII) in somewhat poor weather conditions. Perhaps this was the reason?

Buses late... buses collided... bays occupied... anti ice system breakdowns in inconvenient ports... fuel trucks not available... fuel trucks running out of fuel (diesel that is) while parked in front of an aeroplane... idiots in Cherokees who park under our wing... missing approaches due weather... more anti ice breakdowns... bird strikes... long taxis... taxi doesn't show up for crew in outports... fog... thunderstorms... GPUs u/s... paperwork wrong... paperwork there, but wrong... yet more anti ice breakdowns... crew sick mid-duty... no engineering coverage... no spare parking bays...

Ah...the good ol' block crane Notam...

This one gets reviewed every month. Some cranes that have completed operations are removed and the new ones are added. I'm sure the Notam office loves getting this one each month...;)
I'm sure the crews love it too, dunno how anyone keeps up with all the YSSY NOTAMs except for those of us that live there...

Just a quick question regarding these ACARS... I have only left these two (thanks Graham) but as to the 'Mode' why are most 'S' but one there is a '2'?

What are the various other codes and their meaning?

[Grahame Hutchison]

Here are some acronym definitions that sort of explain it I think.

AOA ACARS Over AVLC. With the introduction of VDL Mode 2, the ACARS protocols were modified to take advantage of the higher data rate made possible by Mode 2. AOA is an interim step in replacing the ACARS protocols with ATN protocols.
AVLC Aviation VHF Link Control. A particular protocol used for aeronautical datalink communications.
VDL VHF Data Link
