I have been an aviation enthusiast for as long as I can remember. Since 2016, I've been making trip reports on RU-vid, with the purpose of showing you what the experience can be like traveling with different airlines, and experiencing different inflight products. I hope you will enjoy watching my videos, and perhaps you might even find them useful.
Contrary to popular belief, a "Turboprop" engine is a propeller driving turboJET engine. That's why it's called a turboprop. If you listen to it when it fires up, when the propeller starts to rotate and gain speed, you can hear the whine of the jet engine. If you're outside the aircraft, you can also smell it in the exhaust. The propeller provides 90 percent of the driving power for the aircraft, while the jet exhaust adds and additional 10 percent thrust. But Most people when they hear the word "Turboprop" think of a turbocharged piston prop engine. They are convinced that the engines inside the nasals that spin the props are basically Porsche engines. That's why much of the public objects to flying on turboprop aircraft. I myself love turboprops. I love the sounds that the props make, the box fan sound in ground idle and taxiing, and the bumblebee drone during takeoff and inflight. It's interesting how the 60 cycle flicker of the video produces optical illusions of the props rotating slower, or backwards. Some say that driving a vehicle with a manual transmission is "Real Driving". I say that flying in a propeller driven aircraft is "Real Flying". Taxiing in, it looks like they've shut down the port engine, and taxied solely on the starboard engine. Usually, when they fire up the engines, they usually fire up the starboard engine first, and then the port engine, when I favor alternating startup order from flight to flight to equalize wear and tear. As is, the starboard engine gets more wear and tear. If a twin engine aircraft looses an engine in flight and has to make an emergency landing, it seems it's usually the starboard engine.
Oh beautiful landvetter my favorite airport! And lovely a 320-214! I love the cfm 56 engines, they just sound so calming. Fun fact: you landed 🛬 on runway 21 with a heading of 202 degrees. On approach you can see the E4 highway. If you continue south on it you will get to Gothenburg city. You will drive past the theme park Liseberg while entering the city
Indeed, GOT is a pretty chill airport to depart from or arrive into. Well, apart from its security check, which is always a pain in the a## from my experience… And yes, I do know the Liseberg amusement park. I have also been there a few times!
I think the emptiest flight I've ever been on was with Flybe's short-lived reincarnation. Flew from Birmingham to Brest Bretagne and both ways the dash 8 q400 I took had about 15-20 people
Æ e fra Trondheim 🎉🎉 (I am from Trondheim 🎉🎉) Redigering: Æ har flydd med ett sånn fly fra TRD te SSJ/Trondheim te Sandnessjøen 🛫🛬 (Edit: I flew with a plane like that from TRD to SSJ/Trondheim to Sandnessjøen 🛫🛬)
I dont think the flight is operated by Transavia. KLM leased some of there planes. When i flew to Dublin last Month it was also with a Transavia airplane with KLM crew members. EDIT: you also mentioned this in your video. My bad. ;p
Gotta love the visual organic ascetics of those raked winglets, Sharp enough to slice straight into the future & beyond, nice to see how wings geometry & Their mechanical features have become more bird like over time since 80s..😊😊
Great trip report! But I don’t see the point of this “business class” because it has the same seats as economy class. Only the catering is the strong plus point here.
Thanks; danke schön! Well, it’s worth remembering that you get lounge access too, as well as more baggage (2 checked bags). Besides, on this occasion, Business was only slightly more expensive than Economy (30€ or something), so it was well worth it in my opinion.
