Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 10:19 pmIts either: A) Trying to get to the top floor to let those passengers out or b) one of those new Mexican 'Old skool' airbridges with hoppity-hydraulics...(keep an eye out for one in the background of 50 cents new video)
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:52 amIt might be
A) M$ making a medium sized jetway "compatible" with heavys
B) A great camera angle or
C) A glitch
That is all that i can come up with

Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 8:05 amMaybe it is becuase I am not at a heavy gate,
Jon it's your 747 so it can't be the aircraft
And I haven't done anything to my jetways ( I don't think
)
So it must be becuase I was not at a heavy gate

It's not the aircraft, and I doubt its the gate given it extended to the right height.
The jetway is a standard model used on all the gates so it wouldnt change its animation, so if it is the gate type then thats interesting.

i dout it would be something with the jetway. I reckon it is a glitch. Can you tell what Airpot and gate that it is at and i will try it.
Oh heavy's can only be connceted by a heavy gate. 737's etc. can be connected by heavy gates and smaller.
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 4:32 pmIt has happened at KL airport with the overland 747 so I thought I would try it with the defualt 747 at YSSY, but I don't tink it was a heavy gate I just slewed to any gate.
So you might want to try it with a Medium or small gate

you're not flying 747's into Wellington are you?
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:53 amDidn't Singapore or someone land a 74 at WN once?

Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 3:59 pmUnited did, it was a 742. There have been a few others as well when NZAA shut down and NZCH couldnt take them for some reason. You'd think Ohakea would be a safer option.
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 4:43 pmThey often use Ohakea as a divert.
The only "HEAVY" aircraft that I know of that have been into Wellington are the 767's Qantas's 747SP's and the BA777

What about the RNZAF 757s? Or would they be under 300k pounds?
Also I thought they would prefer NZWn as an alternate as they have more facilities, the pax can't leave the aircraft at NZOH ae?

Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:29 pmI think one of the reasons that they use Ohakea is that they can have a bigger operating room e.g. longer runway Wellington can not take the 744, or the A340-X I don't think, also they not going to clog up apron space at Wellington and delay other flights

Here is the "original" site.
I would have loved to see a video of that landing
Wikipedia wrote:In spite of the short runway and frequent winds, there have been very few safety incidents at the airport. However, in 1991 a United Airlines Boeing 747 made an unscheduled landing after its original destination, Christchurch Airport, was closed by fog. [8] [16] Although the plane landed safely, all passengers and freight had to be offloaded before it was able to take off again.
