Awesome. Any idea what that is venting out from underneath the #1 engine there?

Thanks. I fly a plane with RR engines and NOBODY in the training department could answer that question for me. The line mechanic I asked said it was "exhaust".

Very cool! What was the distance?

That's because the gubment doesn't want anyone to know.

Well he was telling the truth...it is an exhaust for the accessory gearbox. Our mechanics were baffled by the same thing when we got our first 717s from AirTran.

Yeah, but when I ask a mechanic something I (generally) expect a slightly more technical answer.

It's Hawaii what do you expect?

Same experience on my end!

Looks like if we ever get the 350 they can do Lihue with it though.

I just flew with a guy last night who was on his last 717 trip before going to the 767 (y'all will be really lucky to have him over there... awesome guy) and he was saying that he'll probably get all the LIH trips this summer because none of the 767 captains that never flew inter island will want to go in there.

I don't even know what this sentence means.

 

[BobDDuck]

I don't even know what this sentence means.

PHLI is Lihue Airport.

EDDF is Frankfort Airport

Na' Leo (which I think means "blending together") is an in house survey we do every year to get a feel for the employee group's level of satisfaction, happiness, wants etc.

@Seggy I wonder if they had to ask to land? Do you have to ask more nicely to do something like this or be more firm?

 

[Seggy]

They confirmed and activated the approach.
