@flipkartsupport why the fake updates? Return pending since May 12. 3rd time today you claimed "unsuccessful pickup" without anyone actually calling or visiting. Phone support is off after 6 PM & chat is broken. Resolve this ASAP! 😡 #badcustomerservice#Flipkart
Attention Airbus 321 Pilots !
Ever since the advent of the 321 Neo, we've seen a spate of dramatic landings.
Hard ones, long ones and the more than occasional tail strike.
She came with a modified flare law which got activated 1 second after passing 100' RA.
The airplane didn't pitch down either, unlike its predecessors.

For the longest time, Airbus maintained that the flare technique was the same as the shorter siblings.
However, in the latest update to the FCTM, the flare height for the A321 has now been modified to 40' instead of the earlier 30'.
Inter alia, the "actual" flare height depends on a variety of factors.
Let's quickly review the FCTM.
1) Compared to typical flare height at sea level for flat and adequate runway lengths, the flight crew needs to be aware of external factors that have an impact on the flare height, particularly:
‐ High airport elevation:
An increased altitude results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope.
‐ Steeper approach slope
‐ Tailwind:
An increased tailwind results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope.
‐ Increase in runway slope:
An increase in runway slope and/or rising terrain in front of the runway affects the radio height callouts until the runway threshold.
This can cause late flare inputs if the flight crew relies on those callouts to assess the height and start the flare.
This may also cause a visual misperception of being high.
2) The weight of the aircraft has a direct impact on the VAPP.
Depending on the aircraft variant, the flight crew needs to anticipate the flare height for aircraft with higher weight and inertia.
Note: The cumulative effects of any of the above factors combined for one approach will require the anticipation of the flare maneuver.
If the flare is initiated too late, then the pitch changes do not have sufficient time to enable the necessary change to the aircraft trajectory.
Late, weak or released flare inputs increase the risk of a hard landing. For a stabilized approach, the flare height is around 30 ft for A318/A319/A320, and around 40 ft for A321.
A flare in time, saves a 2.9 (g).
A big thanks to Capt @MohitBiala for bringing this to my attention a few weeks ago.
@TimesNow@HeenaGambhir Why this even a news? Why even sensitizing it? Its a safe manoeuvre and should encourage rather than making a headline.Unstable doesn’t mean aircraft was falling down,even1 knts speed low can cause it.When India media will grow up or stp manufactureing TRP i fail to understand.
SOUND ON. Kudos to this @IndiGo6E pilot for patiently explaining facts to misguided passengers. Many times ground staff load up airplanes to keep everything ready. ATC gives priority to those all prepared and ready to fly. @TRE_320 this should be stand training for all pilots. HT 🫡

Putin: "I want the ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me."
"You are being persistently told that all your current difficulties are the result of hostile actions by vicious Russia, and that you must pay for the fight against a mythical Russian threat out of your own pockets. All of this is a lie."
"The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries—their mistakes, short-sightedness, and ambition. They do not think about how to improve your lives; they are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits." - Vladimir Putin
@nakulvk@FI_InvestIndia@fssaiindia Remember Australia kit-kat or Cadbury’s product taste when compared to india? Also toothpaste difference, basic stuff. Even in Colombo they are better.
@aman_CFC@jagritichandra Example a captn rosterd for
•DEL-BOM
•BOM-MAA
He flies DEL-BOM on aircraft VT-IXT. After landing in BOM, instead of continuing on the same aircraft, he is reassigned to aircraft VT-NCC to operate the BOM-MAA sector. This change of aircraft between sectors is called a tail swap.
@delhivery@help_delhivery what kind of nonsense service you have? 13371871263575 AWB. Sitting ideally since 5days which is 5km away from the address, promised delivery date is today, yet to OUT for Delivery. Never seen so clumsy and carefree service.
@delhivery@delhivery why it taking so long so to deliver? When the parcel already reached the city, why you guys are waiting for the end promised date for delivery? What kind of nonsense is this? Product hasn’t moved at all
Ordered on 23rd Sep and delivery location Kolkata new town, 1st shipping delay 5 days, when the product was to be shipped from WB and 30km away from Kolkata. Now sitting ideally with courier partner from past 2days in Kolkata,such a pathetic service @AmazonHelp@amazonIN@amazon
@HDFC_Bank please contact me contact details in the inbox, query regarding car loan. Also why i cant see my RM details on my app, rectify it. Its really painful to contact here everytime
