  • Brief explanation.
    Local police helicopter (which i thought i missed but you'll see at 9:00 minutes arriving just as the A380 started to depart. This caused the A380 to abort its departure ( i presume because of the wind vortex it would create) I missed the go arounds due to concentrating on the ground movements. Birmingham Airport is mainly a one in one out Airport so for us locals this was quite an event seeing so much ground traffic go arounds etc at one time. Hope this explanation helps 👍✈👍

      price/comfort, then we write to the airlines and tell them.

    Regarding the Follow-Me / Ops vehicles.
    Birmingham, like most airports hosting Code F (aka Code VI) operations will have trail vehicles during taxi and takeoff. The vehicles help monitor Main Landing Gear to Pavement Edge distances and turning radius, and perform real-time inspection for damaged infrastructure (lights, signage, pavement, etc.) and debris blown onto runway by jet blast. Runway inspection typically not required following landing as only A380 inboard engines have thrust reversers.

      Rolls may make a good engine but their maintenance is shite. Twice now Qantas has had engines explode to Roll's substandard maintenance practices, once in Nov. 4, 2010 and another on May 20, 2017. The first was due to cross threading a stub oil pipe and the latter due to corrosion of fan blades caused by improper cleaning procedures.

      Lots of carriers have got A380 out of mothballs. Have flown Emirates A380s about 8 times and their business class is great. Fold flat seat that's wide enough to turn over in. The side seats are staggered at an angle, so no legs to climb over when getting to the Loo. The bar at the rear for drinks and snacks, love the plane. Sadly, the leg from Saigon to Dubia is on a B777 nice but not great.@@gewglesux

      @@speedbird0094 We will know what happened as there will be an official report on the incident. The helo pilot is a professional and would not simply bust his ATC clearance at a major airport and barge into the runway area without a clearance.
      So either he misunderstood his clearances limit, or was erroneously so cleared by ATC.
      Or the A380 commenced T/O without a clearance (highly unlikely in my book).
      I don't think you are familiar with how aviation works if you think the helo pilot appeared to everyone's surprise because he was short of fuel. Like I said, it just does not work like that, If it did, it would lead to accidents.not mere incidents. If you were a pilot, you would know that.

    Actually, you did catch the helicopter… I can see it’s just off to the right of the cockpit. I think it was an aborted takeoff because it looked like they had started to apply takeoff power and then suddenly turned it off. But I’m no aviation expert.

      When I read the title I thought I was going to see smoking brakes. Did they even have to hit the brakes here. Sounded like they just let off the throttle. I suppose the mere size of these craft make everything look slow motion.

    Speedbird, did you work for BOAC? I flew to Singapore when the A380 was launched (2009?) My favoured airlines for travel to SE Asia used to be Singapore and Malaysian but they now use A350s, so I will have to use Emirates in future. I think they have most of the A380s that were ever made!
