Sunday 16th November 2008 QF026 From Auckland New Zealand to Melbourne Australia dep. AKL 07:50 AM arr. MEL 09:40 AM Boeing 747-338 VH-EBY City of Mildura Built: 1987 Delivery: 01st May 1987 Age of Aircraft: 21 Years ICAO24: 7C147C Engine Type: Rolls-Royce RB211-5 24D4U This particular aircraft was delivered to Japan Airlines JAL on 01st March 1992 then again returned back to QANTAS on 01st April 1994. Distance Covered: 2,650 KM Flying Time: 03:50 Hours Video was taken from the window of Economy Class Seat 66A. Central Auckland could be seen from a distance shortly after taking off. Auckland Airport (formerly Auckland International Airport) (IATA: AKL, ICAO: NZAA) is the largest and busiest airport in New Zealand with over 13 million (some 7 million international and 6 million domestic) passengers a year, expected to more than double by 2025. The airport is in Mangere, a western suburb of Manukau City, and is 21 km south of Auckland City centre. It is the central hub for Air New Zealand. Auckland Airport is one of New Zealands most important infrastructure assets, providing thousands of jobs for the region, and is the countrys second-largest cargo 'port' by value, contributing around $14 billion to the economy, and catering for over four million visitors each year, resulting in a 70% share of New Zealand's international travellers. The airport is the fourth busiest in Australasia after Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports. However, internationally, the airport is the second busiest in Australasia, being a third busier than Melbourne Airport in terms of international passengers. The airport has also been rated in the top 3 worldwide for airports handling 5-15 million passengers annually. It has a capacity of about 45 flight movements per hour, using a single runway which is fully CatIIIb capable (at a reduced rate of movements). A close by taxiway was upgraded for use as a runway when the main runway requires maintenance or for use during emergencies, but it does not have sufficient separation distance to operate simultaneously with the main runway. In November 2007 work began on a new northern runway, to be built in several stages and to be used mainly by smaller airplanes, freeing up capacity on the main runway. This flight took off from Runway 05R.

SAM-14 missile strike on DHL airplane Iraq www.JJ.AM

he DHL Airbus 300 freighter that was hit by an anti-aircraft missile on November 22nd suffered a hit to its wing, not an engine. The missile was a Russian built SAM 14. The 22.7 pound SAM-14 (or Strela 3) is the successor to the SAM 7 (Strela). More accurate and reliable than the SAM 7, it has a larger warhead (6.5 pounds, twice that of the SAM 7). The SAM 14 has a maximum range of 4.5 kilometers and a max altitude of 9,900 feet. For best results against a jet aircraft, the missile should be fired from a shorter range (two kilometers or less). The seeker of the SAM 14 was designed to go after the smaller engines on slower moving helicopters, which can be hit at four kilometers out. A video tape, of the missile being launched by Iraqis, was given to a French reporter. The warhead apparently exploded in the wing, setting fire to the fuel tanks inside the wing. The wing was clearly on fire when the aircraft made an emergency landing. There have been nine known missile attacks on aircraft in Iraq since last May. Aircraft landing at Baghdad airport minimize their vulnerability to missile attacks by making sharp turns at 15,000 feet and "cork-screwing" down before they make their landing. This evasive maneuver, however, is not possible on take off. The Airbus A300-600 freighter has a wingspan of 148 feet, is 179 feet long and has a maximum take off weight of 175 tons. It has two engines. Unloaded weight is 81 tons. It can carry 48 tons of cargo and costs $70 million. When the A300 was hit, it was flying at about 8,000 feet. The wing fire caused the hydraulic system to fail, and the pilots had only the engines to control the movement of the aircraft. After sixteen minutes of maneuvering, the A300 made a landing. But without any steering, it ran off the runway and into the sand for about 600 meters. As a result the landing gear and both engines were damaged (from ingesting sand and part of a fence). An American D9 bulldozer pulled the A300 out of the sand and it's still parked at Baghdad airport. DHL resumed service to the airport a week after the incident.

Sunday 16th November 2008 QF026 From Auckland New Zealand to Melbourne Australia dep. AKL 07:50 AM arr. MEL 09:40 AM Boeing 747-338 VH-EBY City of Mildura Built: 1987 Delivery: 01st May 1987 Age of Aircraft: 21 Years ICAO24: 7C147C Engine Type: Rolls-Royce RB211-5 24D4U This particular aircraft was delivered to Japan Airlines JAL on 01st March 1992 then again returned back to QANTAS on 01st April 1994. Distance Covered: 2,650 KM Flying Time: 03:50 Hours Video was taken from the window of Economy Class Seat 66A. Aircraft was approaching Melbourne Airport Runway 16L through thick clouds. Unfortunately at the time when this video was taken, the batteries had already run low. Hence the actual part of the landing was unable to be filmed. Immediately after the batteries ran flat, the aircraft suddenly dropped its altitude and a large number of passengers made the whoa sound simultaneously. It was a bit scary. Apologies from a380kik, extra sets of batteries should be kept in the seat pocket in front. Thanks for watching!
