In The News Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We were inbound to Auckland after a long 12-hour Pacific sector through the night. It was around 5:00am, and there were four other wide-body inbounds (787s, 767s, and 777s) arriving about the same time. Auckland Control was doing a no-nonsense job, without any chit-chat, when the terminal information changed due to a pressure difference (hectopascals down here, not inches). ...

The four of us sat there on our flight deck for what seemed like ages, all thinking: "What? 'Batman'?" ... when one of the second officers suddenly called out: "Oh!

No one said "Batman" on the radio, either. -- Callum T View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
