First landing of an SA Airlink Embraer E190 (ZS-YAA) at St Helena Airport on Monday 21st August 2017. Conditions very windy hence sound toned down and the buffeting of the camera (and cameraman!)

Embraer has conducted a number of tests and the company's pilots have concluded that the landing must be steep and the autopilot turned off at the beginning of landing procedures.

Jet A1 arrives in tanktainers by sea. The contents are transferred to refueller trucks when required and used to refuel the aircraft. Later this year the Airport Fuel Farm and Bulk Fuel Installation will be able to supply the airport, negating the need for tanktainers.

Just flew the Airlink E190 for the first time yesterday. The interior design is simple yet beautiful with leather seats, and its very comfortable and quite like Airbus. But one thing I noticed with the Embraers, they are the worst of passenger jets when it comes to withstanding turbulence in my opinion. You'll feel like you are flying on paper.

@bobsthelena3383 6 жыл бұрын

I flew on this aircraft four days ago - it seemed to cope with the turbulence very well.

Bob, I assume you live at St Helena. Are these flights operating regularly? Do you know for how long BA flew to St Helena with the B737?

@hloxyman9346 6 жыл бұрын

Can I answer? BA does not fly the route, they only tested the airport with the 737 and decide to ditch it. Airlink flies weekly from Cape Town and Johannesburg on Saturdays, connecting in Windhoek, Namibia. They promised to add more flights though.

So you live on St Helena Dean or perhaps an island in the middle of nowhere? Or do you only have access to slow, expensive satellite-based Broadband? If you have answered yes to either of these questions, then you'll understand the need to reduce the size of the video to the minimum to allow it to upload without it timing out or costing an absolute fortune to do so... Unfortunately this has an impact on the quality of the video. Not everyone has fast, unlimited Broadband. It may be 2017 where you live, but Broadband on St Helena gets as slow as the dial-up speeds of the 1990s!

The Bombardier CS100 would be the perfect plane to operate out of here.

@chavesbra 6 жыл бұрын

If that was true, they would've tried it. But CS100 can not operate safely under those conditions.

@chavesbra 6 жыл бұрын

No, not really. If that was true, they would have used the CS100, but they did not. CS100 can't handle the winds, the manouvering (short strip) and the distance all together.

chavesbra What do you mean "they would of tried it" There is less than a hand full of airlines flying the damn thing so it's not like anyone has a couple of them just laying around and ready for testing in a remote island.

@chavesbra 6 жыл бұрын

Mánuel Kiatoko -- Yet, they did not try it. BUT they tried the E190. And it was just perfect. There is no reason to try CS100 in such hard conditions, the plane just can not handle it safely.

High winds are common there. Dangerous airport - accident waiting to happen.

@Bozewani 6 жыл бұрын

between 40 and 60 degrees south winds are brutal

@bobsthelena3383 6 жыл бұрын

No more dangerous than say Madeira. If you can detect it and predict it, then you can manage the winds far more successfully than if it were to suddenly occur when you're not expecting it.

@betocreativo 6 жыл бұрын

Then, how do they land on Funchal, Madeira?

@bobsthelena3383 6 жыл бұрын

Using well trained pilots. They may well have other systems in place to predict it using models and historic data.

I'll give a thumbs up for that, especially for beating the 737. The airline flying this aircraft is the biggest independent regional airline in SA and is well run. The British abandoned the service and immediately touted it as the world worst airport.
