nice blog there!!

just notice parang wala nag reverse thrust ang 747..

nice blog there!!

just notice parang wala nag reverse thrust ang 747..

the pic i think was taken very early on landing pa... usually they do the reverse thrust if the plane is still fast and the last taxiway is getting near..(well, again if the B747 lands near the edge of the runway, bihirang matagal ang reverse)

Yup I saw that....been riding those planes in and out of Davao and the timing of reverse thrust upon landing is getting to be predictable....I am basing this on the pic and my repeated observations....

Actually the landing gear touched the runway malapit na sa fire station building. the 747 was literally floating from the threshold hanggang sa fire station building before it hit the runway. Kaya nag backtrack talaga siya sa RWY 23 before taxiing to A4

malamang hindi na rin masyadong nag reverse thrust kasi nag backtrack.. usually pinipilit ng pilot na pag land nila, papasok na sila kaagad sa A4. at that point, they land near the edge of the runway ang make sure the reverse thrust is on near the fire station

While browsing through Mabuhay magazine yesterday wala na palang Davao-Cebu ang PAL? maski AirPhil express wala din? :dunno:

Napansin ko rin wala nang Mabuhay Mag for Domestic..sa International flight lang meron

ah i see..kaya pala...quick question-pag mag reverse thrust ba ang 747 lahat ba ng engine mag r.t.?o pwede ba 2 engine lang?

pwede 2 engines lang. if you look at the video of the PAL 747 flight that had a tire problem . when it landed, two engines were only used for reverse thrust. its the two inner engines lang.

Last week (or two weeks ago) may nag emergency landing na TransAsia Airways (Airbus A321) enroute to Koror, Palau. Ang reason according sa pilot, may grass fire malapit sa airport ng Koror. Zero visibility. Stayed there at bay 7 for one hour ata (mga around 9:30PM)

naku..yung map with routes na yan sa Mabuhay mag hindi dapat paniwalaan.. matagal ng tinanggal dati ang DVO-ZAM eh nandun pa rin. In fact, Matagal na ring may DVO-CEB eh wala naman doon sa Mag.. also notice kung saan ang mga destinations, oftentimes mali ang isla/lugar... :lol::lol:

yang mga nag i emergency landing...do they have to pay a terminal fee?

at di allowed ang mga passengers na lumabas ng plane?

no, they are not allowed to go out the plane kasi during that time, wala nang tao sa customs. Ayun. Standby lang sa tarmac before lipad ulit to Koror.

DIA/DVO is the only airport which can support night landings for this type of aircraft in the immediate vicinity.:)

how long did they stay sa wadab? although hindi naman na-predict na may mag eemergency landing from an international carrier, i think there should be immigration and customs officials sa airport at night to make the passengers feel comfortable. kawawa naman mga pasaheros. just an opinion :)

naku. That is big debate! In fact sa mga previous news, the Immigration Bureau even requested the airlines to pay their staff for their overtime. It was such a big brouhaha then...

Actually there is no need naman to have immigration/customs. The layout of the airport terminal is simple. the Airport staff can all bring them inside the pre departure area while waiting. However since the plane has no legal entity etc.... hindi puwedeng lumabas ang mga tao sa airplane... happened to me once when the plane I was riding going to Ha Noi have to land in Guangzhou because of some problems in the Ha noi airport. Hindi rin kami pinalabas....We had to wait for 3 hours....

In flight magazines is one way of promoting an airline and its destinations effectively, normally, it would include a spread of on board purchases and a menu of snacks if you will. The best part is giving the reader a quick background of the history and fleet of the airline which gives the customer confidence and in-depth knowledge on how to fly again. So what message is PAL saying by letting only a few elite read about who it is?, to those fly economy, you can forget what PAL has to offer more and come back at your own risk. Understand the money saved on the prints but losing potential repeat customers can be worst. A simple thing like a flight magazine that promotes branding can always set it apart from the competition.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j303/xzibit31/airport.jpg

there are two possible sites within the airport where the new ASR (radar) will be built.

1. lower left of the pic. beside runway 05.

2. right center of the pic beside the control tower .in the scale model of the airport inside the DIA terminal, this place should have been the isolation pad. but since the isolation pad is at the old tarmac, this place should be nice for the radar.

There's hardly any space within the airport periphery to build hangars if needed.

that's what I was wondering why the magazines are unavailable to the economy class considering budget airlines have them onboard.So If you're flying with PAL and no mags then it will be a bit boring and nothing to refer to if you want to look at their destinations.well,it's easy to search online but hey, you are flying and inflight mags(besides screaming,restless children:lol:) is an intertainment of sort to alleviate your boredom.

Good question! Diba naa to airline na himuon nila alternative hub ang DIA with regards to clark? If so? asa kaha ila mga ahngerts ibutang? kuyog sa mga hangers sa mga small planes?

It made me ask, why can Cebu Pacific manage to publish Smiles and its also for free despite it being a full-time economy class LCC?

For AirPhilExpress, the La Isla is not a "take home" magazine and I find it rare still.

For PAL, only the elite can have it. If you want to read Mabuhay, you need to purchase one off the plane.

this area beside the control tower is around 6 hectares (computation thanks to waway). this area is big enough to put some hangars and the radar facility.:)

DIA property is actually parang L ang shape. If you would notice at the old airport, there is a strip where most of the smaller planes are housed/stored. (Well, that used to be the Old runway anyway) Yun lang nga, a big area was already taken over by the Airforce.

nope. that is part of the sasa creek na. its outside the perimeter fence.

My God.Why all this time we have been discussing about relocating this airport whereas the land it occupies is huge enough for an expansion.

Because the area is already built up and the human population is near the area. Living near airports are actually bad for the health..... (noise pollution, stress etc. etc.)

My God.Why all this time we have been discussing about relocating this airport whereas the land it occupies is huge enough for an expansion.

I had a conversation with a supervisor of the ATC...ang ganda pla sana ng plano para sa DIA...yup! xzibit said it, isolation ramp sana un...pati sa international wing, pwd to sya expansion for two jetways...for the ASR, GO! we need it, also the p. taxiway! :banana:

so what was the plan? (well,besides the taxiway which was not done, the isolation ramp which was not done, the change in the terminal design...)

ca. 1964

wow...the left lower pic... very nostalgic. Insular Hotel when it was still under the Ayalas...I do remember the building was commissioned with no less than Leandro locsin making the draft planning..well, most of the two other buildings remained untouched however the main entrance was made to become modern.... I do wonder...nandoon pa ba sa Insular ang "fishermen" ni Ang Kiukok?

Fishermen was a mural made by Ang Kiu kok during the 1960s.. It was initially seen at the insular cafe and complemented the huge Capiz ball chandeliers of the coffee shop then. When the main building of Insular hotel was renovated, the said painting was moved to the grand ballroom area. (I do believe that painting now is worth millions).. however, the last time I went there.... IT WAS GONE... (maybe the Gatchalians discovered its worth....)

Hmmm... I think the main problem here is that CAAP does not know its mandate... Is it the government arm to create policies for efficient and safe air transport or is it supposedly the arm to maintain airports?.. It was one of the issues why we remain at Cat 2...

They need to revisit the whole CAAP structure. if not they have to make another agency to handle airports so that CAAP can focus on creating standard policies or investigating problems...

Davao to Butuan vv using ATR is feasible. It would take 6 hours to travel to Davao using land transport.

Using CEB's ATR, it would not take an hour which is very convenient especially if you're in a hurry and if you want to experience "life" in Davao immediately or asap. :lol::lol::cheers:

I saw CAAPs organizational structure; I think they have all the departments necessary. The issue is obviously money, no long term plan. They need to have advanced funding for these equipment before their lifespan catches up; you could imagine the bidding process that has to take place before the contract to repair is tendered out. Even replacing old chairs in provincial terminals seems an eternity, how much more for this multi-million equipment?

DAVAO CITY - Tiger Airways, the budget airline of Singapore Airlines, has placed this city among its travel destinations beginning November this year, putting to four the total number of Philippine areas it serves from its Singapore hub.

Aizel delos Reyes, supervisor of the airline company’s Davao office, said the airline’s 180-seater Airbus 320, would serve this city with three flights per week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays beginning Nov. 1.

Flights from Singapore would arrive at 6:15 p.m. at the Davao International Airport and would leave at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The A-320 plane would arrive at 8:35 p.m. here and depart at 9:05 p.m. on Sundays.

Tiger Airways has also launched its promo fare at P1,599 for travel between January and March next year, when it opened its office here at the Legaspi Suites along Legaspi St. in downtown Davao. This week, it offered another round of promotion for November and December travel.

“We offer different promo rates almost every week,” Delos Reyes told the BusinessMIrror.

Regular rate would be P4,000 including the travel tax of P1,620.

Davao City is the fourth Philippine destination to be served by Tiger Airways. It operates a hub in Clark, which is being served by partner Philippine budget carrier SeaAir with two daily flights. But Tiger Airways continues to serve its destinations in Manila (two flights) and Cebu (one flight). 

Aside from Tiger Airways, Silk Air also operates a daily flight to Singapore, some of it on connecting flight in Cebu.

hahahaha..alam ko kung bakit....:lol:

I saw CAAPs organizational structure; I think they have all the departments necessary. The issue is obviously money, no long term plan. They need to have advanced funding for these equipment before their lifespan catches up; you could imagine the bidding process that has to take place before the contract to repair is tendered out. Even replacing old chairs in provincial terminals seems an eternity, how much more for this multi-million equipment?

yeah...the new government procurement act was supposed to make things quick with the advent of the so called PHILGeps. the problem is.. its accessibility is hard plus the fact that some suppliers would call for a downpayment of which the act forbids. Thus the problem. Also, tama ka rin, The budget of CAAP is small compared to the much needed equipment. That is why siguro we rely much on the ODA of the other countries for this. (japan has been helping us procure/modernize air navigation equipment... the problem is the budget for its maintenance)

Pero I think CAAP should start dissociating itself as the one maintaining airports. (in short siguro mag decentralize na sila...) so that CAAP can focus on other major issues...

Siguro tama lang rin gawan na lang ng isang authority ang pag handle ng mga airports sa country so that it can have its own separate budget for its maintenance and CAAP continue providing/recommending policies for air safety, investigation etc. this authority should be almost like a GOCC na so that it will not depend much on the Philippine National Government budget. (yun lang nga, tataas ang mga fees i think)

Well of course we have a myopic Congress whose main aim is the maintenance of the their PDAF (aka. Pork Barrel) to further their ambition as congressmen.

Good idea actually. :okay: Kaya ba ng ATR ang journey fuelwise? How about using an A319, is it also "sulit"? What will happen to the DVO-ILO route if this ever happen? Retained or will be changed?

Davao to Butuan vv using ATR is feasible. It would take 6 hours to travel to Davao using land transport.

Using CEB's ATR, it would not take an hour which is very convenient especially if you're in a hurry and if you want to experience "life" in Davao immediately or asap. :lol::lol::cheers:

I have no objections with this statement! :lol: Pero I did drive BXU-DVO at 4 hours and 30 mins.. (hehehe.."emergency" kuno!) sarap! I was so happy with the current state of the road now. It is much much better than before. esp. the Agusan del Sur segment. (well, as usual huwag lang sa Bayugan andd SanFran, ang daming tricycle, trisikad and lahat ng iba pang tri....pati kuliglig... ) BXU-Prosperidad segment needs just a minor improvement na lang. The zigzag in Mawab is now expanded to almost 6 lanes at curve.

DVO-BXU road is better now than DVO-CGY (mangima segment is the biggest problem!)

Good idea actually. Kaya ba ng ATR ang journey fuelwise? :okay: What will happen to the DVO-ILO route if this ever happen? Retained or will be changed?

baka it means that an ATR will do a DVO-GensAn then GenSan to ILO VV... So it may mean that these two routes are almost independent of each other. Parang CEB-CGY-DVO...

Siguro puwede kasi dati may ATR that travels from Manila to Surigao eh...

^^ Perhaps. Given how 5J is so aggressive to what was then "missionary routes."

^^ Perhaps. Given how 5J is so aggressive to what was then "missionary routes."

I do think 5 J should restart a CEB-Tandag (TDG, RPWW) or Bislig(BPH, RPMF)... or DVO-Tandag/Bislig... Surigao del Sur is also a nice place to visit. and also has an economic potential. Besides, these are also historic routes.

Sir xzibit, according to my atc friend, di nmn busted ang ILS 05, wla nang daw na flight check...hm....... :(

it will not be a daily flight daw. 3 times a week lang daw ang dvo-ges-ilo. daily daw ang dvo-ges. tapos ang dvo-ges-ilo 3 times a week daw. all flights will depart davao daw as they will be stationing a few aircraft here. pero under study pa daw ito lahat. earliest flight, kung matuloy is next year daw.

Good, good. :okay: In my opinion, I think this is fine.
Pero woah, seriously...Davao to Gensan flights daily? I was thinking if they can drop as much as P250 to P700 per person (one way, inclusive of surcharge and taxes) in order to make it more competitive against the most expensive Yellow Bus non-stop airconditioned bus?

Hmmm... lets check the waiting time
Yellow airplane:

2 hours before the flight
30 mins ng flight (mukhang ganoon kasi dvo-cgy mga ganoon din)
20 mins for the baggage..not bad.

Yellow bus:
30 mins sa security check (kung maraming tao)
3 hours bus ride...

I think this would be an interesting battle of two yellow transportations... :lol::lol::bash:

ill take the airplane option. atleast 2 hours inside the terminal is ok rather than take that bus ride on a hot and humid day with the aircon of the bus not functioning well.:lol:

I just hope that they make the fare possibly/reasonably competitive, so that they can make profit out of it, without losing the battle. Mukhang umepek naman sa Cebu-Ormoc at Cebu-Dumaguete din naman ang mga short routes na ito, even if they are being served by bus and ferry routes

of course I think they are also considering that.... if it would be priced more, well, I guess no one will ride it.. So parang sa ginawa nila sa Ceb-Dumaguete wherein halos 50 to 100 pesos na lang ata ang price difference kaya pumatok. Besides some will pay that additional price for the speed and comfort of using the airplane. Anyway, DVO-GES by bus is almost always full naman din...

I have tried a PAL A330 from DVO-GES last 2003 when our MNL-GES flight was diverted to DVO. Nasa 15minutes lang ung flight at 12,000ft. Siguro kung ATR nasa 25 minutes lang....

Isa pang ATR ang arriving by next year. Actually, ready for delivery na daw according dun sa nakausap ko na ATR pilot ng CEB kaso kulang pa sa piloto kaya di pa na deliver....

hmmm... how about DVO-Dipolog? or DVO-Tacloban puwede kaya?

Waiting for that route also kay perte gyud kalayo biyahion ang Dipolog-Davao. Mura nakag gikulata sa kakapoy pag-abot nmo sa ciudad.

delayed ba itong 747 which just took off @ 4:00pm?

delayed ba itong 747 which just took off @ 4:00pm?

looks like PAL is not following its regular schedule because of work disruptions... swerte nga ng Davao since the only flights that can be mounted are so few.. MNL-CEB, MNL-DVO, MNL-KLO, MNL-DGT lang ata according to their website

so what types of approaches do they use, VOR, NDB, GPS??:dunno:

vor/dme approaches.

delayed ba itong 747 which just took off @ 4:00pm?

yup. it was supposed to be the 1150 flight.

wow!.ganyan ba talaga ka dami ang pupunta ng manila from davao?.Dont you think its impractical ang ginagawa ng 5j?dagdag gastos yan ah.
wala ba silang plano na at least man lang mag purchase or lease bigger a/c?..nandyan pa naman ang airphil at zest ah.

Well, I guess it helps the riding public greater choices in terms of their schedules. Plus the fact that 5J promo fares in Davao are easily gone before they publish it.. I guess with the acquisition of the A321neo, a bigger/longer version of the A320 may increase the number of seats per flight IF 5J decides to use the plane for the MNL-DVO route....However, this may in turn reduce the flights in the sector again.

PAL is set to reduce the flights of MNL-DVO from 4 to three.. (the early morning flight will be gone). Thanks to PALEA, the spin off of the non core assets and the transistion....

Speaking of ATRs Chev, do you know why 5j posted 7x weekly on Pag-Cebu for october yet the schedule only shows 5xweekly? Aircraft shortage?, they have freed up one aircraft now by deploying A319 for Cebu-Ozamiz.Thanks. Dashalvin is also looking here and curios about the fate of Cebu-Dipolog flight.

well i just had a conversation with a good pilot friend of mine who works for 5J. he said that even if they add the flights to davao, it wont be a problem filling them up. the passengers just keep on increasing. pati nga sila daw nagugulat sa pax load ng davao.

even my pilot friends from PAL can attest to the info given to be by my 5J friends.

my friend who works for 5J was even surprised to know the 5J marketing did not know that TIGER would start the sing-dvo-sing run this november. they are trying to come up with their own daw. soon. the real reason daw why the dvo-sing-svo run and dvo-hk-dvo was cancelled was not due to low passenger loads. the reason was 5J marketing did not fully act on that route daw. parang pinabayaan. they thought that the route would just grow.

the pax in DVO is growing daw talaga!

I wonder why PAL didnt do this.meron silang malalaking eroplano and yet they have'nt taken advantage of it.:ohno:PAL is being outsmart by 5j's marketing and it worked well!..on the other hand,coming from 5j's mouth, the davao-sing route is cancelled not due to passenger load.i say, what now PAL?:ohno:sana e deploy nila ang airphil to compete with 5j in these route(dvo-sing):)

Affected din ba mga flights ng Airphil sa pag reduce ng PAL flights ?

Affected din ba mga flights ng Airphil sa pag reduce ng PAL flights ?
Nope... they're separate though sister companies. Kahit si Lucio Tan ang owners nga dalawa, separate yung management ng AirPhil. :D

Affected din ba mga flights ng Airphil sa pag reduce ng PAL flights ?

It does also..kasi yung mga hindi makasakay sa PAL nililipat sa airphil lately.. so mabilis mapuno ang airphil these days...however, tungkol sa strike, no...

PAL did not reduced their MNL-DVO-MNL flights, the cancellation of their early morning flight is due to the transition of some works in PAL and it's only temporary. PAL flights to and from davao will be back to normal starting October 7....

Actually Oct 2, 2 flights lang.... I do hope on Oct. 7. everything may get normal. the problem is, It still depends on the available manpower at the airport. I was at Naia 3 and had a chance to meet my friend who works with PAL (one of those who got transplanted from another station to NAIA 3 just to make PAL running) He said that for the next three weeks, we need to look at their website from time to time because there will be flights that can get cancelled because of inavailability of ground crew in Manila. Good thing MNL-DVO is not that badly affected.

Yeah because this route is their money maker route, domestically. just like the MNL-CEb route and the mnl-kalibo route. if you look at the schedules, some routes with multiple flights were cancelled or has 1 flight lang every other day. the mnl-dvo route went back to 3 daily flights and the MNL-Ceb flights has also 3 to 4 daily flights and the mnl-kalibo route also has 3 flights a day.

dapat siguro mag launch na lang ang PAL ng airtaxi service doon sa mga airports hindi gaano mataas ang passenger volume papunta sa DVO then proceed sa main flight papuntang MNL.

for example, airtaxi from GES to DVO. then DVO to MNL. :cheers:

add mo pa:

COT-DVO-MNL
MAT-DVO-MNL
SRL-DVO-MNL
BUK-DVO-MNL
CDO-DVO-MNL (of course as supplementary route lang ;) )

MAT.... mati? (MXI)

SRL (santa rosalia?) or are you referring to Alah Valley (AAV)?

BUK- kasi this code is for BUK, Hungary...Kung malaybalay ang tukoy mo, well, that airfield is hazardous daw considering houses were built at the sides of the runway

Anyway, I want to add na lang OZC-DVO kung marami ang passengers besides DIpolog-DVO and TAC-DVO

Puwede rin PAG-DVO kasi ang layo talaga nito kung bus...

this is what sets 5J apart from PR. Cebpac creates demand. By lowering fares , it encourages people to fly. Gone were the days when students from the province would only go home twice/thrice a year (summer/Dec/sembreak), now they can practically fly as often as they want.

While PAL? we know the sad story

hmmm...puwede rin ang Siargao (sayak)-DVO but I doubt kung may market....

btw.. PAL has announced the flight sched from Oct 4 to Oct 15....

bummer ang Oct 14- 2 flights only and same goes with Oct. 15...

this is subject to change pa naman eh. nasa transition period pa sila. so they are asking for alittle understanding from the riding public. dont worry. it will go back to its original frequency when operations at PR normalizes.

Basta we still have to be thankful na DVO isn't included sa pagcocost-cutting ng domestic routes ng PAL since DVO is PAL's profitable domestic route aside from CEB.

YES that is true. there was a news report that PAL wants to concentrate more on the long haul flights and might drop some of the domestic flights (well, CEB and DVO not included)

Hmm.. I think this is final, try mock booking..talagang 2 lang sa Oct. 14. but anyway, still happy that there are still flights to Davao.

yeah. but they can just change that in an instance. pero ok na yan.

2 widebody flights (744) per day. kung puno, that would translate to around 800 pax per way. that would be 1600 pax, round trip. that would be around 9 flights RT per day on an a320.

yep. early part of next year, if plans push through it will be 12 flights per day on the MNL-DVO route.

5J is using a mix of A320 and A319 in the mnl-dvo route.

ang callsign kay siyagiton nimo "miiiing....mimiiiing"

Inquiry lang sa mga naka try, who here have tried a code share flight like EK-PR, ie. dxb-mnl-dvo route, kung yung bagahe kailangan ko pa bang i check out din check in ulit sa domestic part ng flight.

Sabi kasi sa akin dito hindi na daw kailangan na kunin ko pa ang bagahe at automatically i transfer na daw from EK to PR. Thanks in advance sa makapag provide ng info kun totoo dahil sa PAL website it says otherwise. Isang ticket lang po hawak ko....

Basig muadto kog tower this saturday. I try nako ang duha nako ka telephoto lens. :-):banana:

Hilasa anang telephoto lens uie! hahaha...regards nlang ko renz! PEKchur2x jud ha????? :)

hello, can i ask if dvo-ozc is possible for maiden operation in the future? hope this will true :) I want to visit davao soon.

that came out from a reliable news article way back in 2007 ;) maremember ko pa ang mga reaction namin after reading it... "ang arte naman ng cx :bash: " :lol:

yup... actually that was always the stand of CX. (although it sounded like bull but hey, it was on TV Patrol Davao then with the CX spokesperson talking to the reporter) I do remember that..

Medyo matagal pa siguro... although i do hope a flight from that Part In Mindanao can happen.

But they operate in Cairns, and their aircraft perform a backtrack on the end of the runway to align itself before take off. Arte lang jud sila :lol:

napanood ko rin yon...nag land nga ang CX sa DVO in lieu of PAL. pero murag naglisod bitaw to og maneuver sa runway that time.

probably its with the pilots...lahi man gud mudiskarte ang pinoy nga piloto. hehehe

I must be an exception as i never wanted to stop by anywhere, Manila man o kung saan. I'd rather go straight where i want to if it's possible.

following the interline agreement between EK and PR, your baggage should be checked through to your final destination, DVO from the airport of origin, DXB; unless there is a security requirement in the Philippines that restricts such. in which case, your baggage must be collected and cleared upon arrival in MNL prior to transferring it to your domestic onward connection.

taxiway lagi gusto sa cx,dli nang turnaround pad.:bash::lol:

yup... it is preferable that DVO has a taxiway than those two loops at the end of the runway...besides dapat lang may areas na for rapid exits so that the length of time the plane is on the runway will be shortened hence more flights to come in. Its no problem if CX will not land in DVO for the moment besides SG is more aggressive for DVO than CX by putting 2 subsidiaries (silkair and tiger) into the DVO air market foray.

At Least the airlines take off from DAVAO full of passengers and not full of fish :lol:

Hi! :)

I am currently making a "more" accurate 3D model of DIA's current terminal. I found a model at the Google 3D warehouse but I found it is not that accurate, made by thatDavaoGuy. Shown below is his model, as I measured it, the facade facing the tarmac has a width of approximately 896'. Which can fit 4 A330s, with 20' gap between planes wingtip to wingtip. Is is that close to the real thing? Thanks!
