Making Tough British Manuever To Runway To Avoid Noise Pollution

Post by Aharon »

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting a nice British Caledenian A310 charter flight from EGKK Gatwick Airport 29.5 miles south of Central London to LFMN Nice Côte d'Azur Airport 3.7 miles southwest of Nice in the Alpes-Maritimes départment of France carrying movie celebrities and motion picture industry bigwigs to Nice to attend Cannes film festival that requires tight maneuver stunt to the airport to observe noise pollution ordinance

Airborne on climb to F350 passing background view of suburbs of London

Nice wing view of suburbs of London

Image

Climbing climbing climbing to start the route: MID UN615 XAMAB UL612 RESMI UM728 OBEPA UM133 LERGA UY30 LATAM UY22 NISAR (Sorry if I did not clean dirt around passenger doors )

Image

Intercepting MID waypoint above green countyside of West Sussex where you can see in front of nose Ebernoe Common Nature Reserve and turning left to head eastward toward France

Image

You can see River Adur below the plane

Image

Passing city or town of Worthing where you can see motorway A27 behind the tail of the plane

On descent from Fl350 to 10,000 ft

Image

At 10,000 ft above forests of Parc Naturel Regional Des Prealpes D Azur

Image

Wing view of same area

Image

Now starting very difficult maneuver on way to runway 04left that requires the plane to fly along few miles off the shore and make sharp right turn to runway when the runway comes into visual as wealthy people of Nice do not want noise pollution by planes over the city and beach shores

You can see in the successive screenshots the plane keeping its REQUIRED distance away from the French shore for sake of noise pollution while at 3,000 ft

THanks Aharon, one of my favourite colour schemes - it looks good on the A310 and stunning on the VC-10 and DC-10.

Lovely pics .. a slight nitpick , but isn't that an A300B4 ? I cannot recall any A310 ever being on the British Register, nor indeed operated by a british Airline

Hi Chris,

BCal had these... http://www.british-caledonian.com/A310.html Not sure if it was leased or how long it was on the register for though.

Well I'm blowed . I take it all back ( except that Aharon's aeroplane is an A300 ! ) . Incidentally I only ever once travelled on an A310 and it was horrible, porpoising and yawing continuously . Whether it was the pilot or autopilot malfunctioning we shall never know

Actually, BCAl bought 3 units of A310 but only two were delivered and in BCAl service for one year flying different routes from Gatwick to North African destinations and one route to Geneva.
