Fly higher, high flyer-Oh I forgot-got to keep the plane low to avoid the stuff freezing - godo a JohnCleese and kick the heat exchanger.
Then you obviously need to upgrade and get out of the rust-buckets.
Apologies for the above post - I thought that you were a pilot. Pilots just fly the things. It's like I drive car but if I want to know what's wrong I got to a mechanic.
I went to prune, certainly they are not happy about something to do with Trent 900
http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-359662.html
Guess they should lay off the prune juice while flying these.
Oh here it is:

In my hands a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! I should have never got the Prune link.
I thought it was on a sign above the check-in counter?
We'll have to wait until self-appointed expert hoppy confirms. I always thought it was mentioned on the boarding stub, next to the captain's age, the date of the last D check and the number of airframe cycles.
Insert soundbite of hoppy googling furiously just about here.
No, at present the flying support squad are escorting A not so happy Hoppy to where the check-out counter is.
Look who else can skip from Palestine to RR trent to make up? Give a girl some credit. But you are right I just went out for a family ride that made these forum battles pale in comparison.
Nah! just watching Blade Off Tests on youtube
Anyhoo.

Unlike Concorde, which had its airworthiness certificate withdrawn after a freak accident caused by debris on the runway and a pilot willing to take off overweight, the B777's accident record is not unblemished. But, unlike Concorde, it is a mainstay of major airlines around the world. Grounding it would have catestrophic consequences for airlines and air travellers. For example, American Airlines has 47 B777s - all fitted witht Trent 800 engines.
That raises the question as to whether the decision not to ground the aircraft is a calculated trade-off of money versus lives.
Rolls-Royce has said that the revised component will not be ready, tested and approved for about a year. However, not all 777s have the affected engines: only those fitted with RR Trent 800 engines are included. However, that is, across the industry, more than 200 aircraft.
The "mandatory flying procedures" involve flying lower and, in what seems to be reminiscent of driving cars in the severe weather of the 1960s, to - in effect - "blip the throttle" every so often to blow through any small crystals that might form.There is also some concern that the NTSB may be playing politics, and criticising Rolls-Royce where it may have used more temperate language had the engines been produced by a US manufacturer.
Certainly, Rolls-Royce takes comfort from the AAIB report which makes it plain that the engine design meets or exceeds all requirements and points out that so-called "long-cold-high" routes is an industry wide problem.
BA has told UK media that it does not intend to tell passengers what engines are fitted to the B777 they fly in. Hint: the're a big badge on the front cowling.
Pretty much any mythomaniac internet troll with an overinflated sense of ego.
Skills that you are able to appreciate thanks to thousands of hours of solo broomstick time no doubt.
Considering the last real airlifts of modern times have been operations Solomon and Moses, I think you should perhaps review your story a little bit.
Or just come to terms with the fact that if you're a mythomaniac, you should only hang around your unquestioning peers.
Gosh you are wrong again. Do you love to air your lack of knowledge in public?
Who is the one with the over-inflated ego- 'king of the castle, king of the castle'- I know that you are going to make me regret this. I bet you even went and looked the airlifts up, you are just trying to trap me into exposing myself-No!
Expose yourself? Oh, I believe the harm has been done already.
If there's someone that has been airing blatant lack of knowledge in public here, in all domains in general and aviation in particular, I believe that person would look a lot like you. Now if you want to carry on - please be my guest; I believe there's a JCB digger standing idle around where I live, and I'm sure the owners would be willing to lend it to you.
It's been a long time since I've had to look anything aviation up. If you really had a husband explaining you the technical ins and outs of aviation, you would have known what an airlift is, and why these two I mentioned are widely remembered amongst the aviation community - especially from the overload angle.
So - where exactly was I wrong?
[quote] I really don't know why you want to argue with me or don't believe what I say I did pm you this info so as not bring it into the public domain:
Did airlifts occur during this time?

If you want to know about this period then the best account is this read Huyser's memoir misson to Tehran. It is relevant to much of what goes on today.
Now, please let's keep it to engines or are you the one that is trolling?
In June 1972 Huyser was assigned to Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C., in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Operations, as director of plans. In April 1973 he become deputy chief of staff, plans and operations. He participated in the decision-making processes that resulted in C-130 Hercules resources being assigned to the Military Airlift Command and the designation of the Military Airlift Command as the Department of Defense's third specified command.
Huyser become deputy commander in chief of the U.S. European Command, Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany, in September 1975, where he was one of the major users of Military Airlift Command airlift support. In January 1979, while still EUCOM deputy, President Jimmy Carter sent Huyser to Iran. Sources disagree on what it was; according to Carter and Huyser, it was an attempt to stabilize Iran during the turbulent early stages of the Islamic revolution. According to some supporters of the Shah, it was to destabilize the Shah's government. Shortly afterward, the Shah left Iran in exile and the Islamic Revolution took over the country. In his memoir Mission to Tehran , Huyser called the mission "one that started with desperation and disunity and ended in disaster," but praised the performance of U.S. personnel.

Huyser assumed command of the Military Airlift Command in June 1979, his last posting.
Are we talking about engines or airlifts? Get my drift?
I don't see anything airlift related there, much less airlifts to an ice-closed Heathrow airport.
I see your googling skills need polishing as well.
Oh I'm pretty sure hoppy doesn't know the difference.
Definition of airlift:
1. A system of transporting troops, civilian passengers, or supplies by air, as in an emergency or when surface routes are blocked.
2. A flight transporting troops, civilian passengers, or supplies under such conditions.
Wing personnel also took part in Operation Babylift and the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, and in the evacuation of American dependents from Tehran, Iran, in 1979 .
The situation at Heathrow 1979. the situation got worse than in this report but this is all I could find.

Heathrow snow:
BAA attacked
THE COLD weather which hit Britain
last week paradoxically raised temperatures
at Heathrow airport as airlines
attacked the British Airports
Authority for failing to clear snow
and ice from apron areas. British Airways
was the worst-affected airline
and cancelled 150 out of 180 scheduled
flights on January 4, and nearly
threequarters of its services on
January 5. Although runways had
been cleared early in the week, apron
areas outside passenger terminals
were covered with compacted snow
and ice up to Friday and airlines complained
that the conditions made it
impossible for pedestrians and
vehicles to move safely around parked
aircraft.
British Airways virtually ceased
operations after several members of
staff sustained broken bones from
falling on the ice. The airport's snow
committee (comprising the BAA and
75 airlines using Heathrow) met on
the Wednesday and airlines demanded
that the Army be called in to help
clear apron areas. This was rejected
by the Authority, and British Airways
And now much to the relief of many I will keep to the engines
Yeah. Please entertain us with your vast knowledge on fuel-oil heat exchangers and cold soak.
As for the rest... I'll believe it the day the first medical report on self-healing peritonitis comes out.
Sorry everyone, ignore this, but I have to defend myself against Shorrick and he won't do it with PM's
With my perforated gangrenous appendix, that had been leaking over a long period. I had been in pain from it for about 3 years, they don't know how log it had been leaking but the adhesions indicate probably months if not longer. My gynaecologist had mistaken it for an ovarian cyst, which I don't have.
I have been given the contact details of 3 trusted personal injury lawyers.
I have been told that I should go ahead, but I will not receive any monetary compensation, because I am now very well. If I had suffered lon-term damage it would be different.
So when it is all over, which will take some time, I will send you the details.
I will even post them on this forum if I can take my name off them- how's that?
How many 777's with RR's were flying in '79?
0.
Maybe I've lost track of what's going on.
