Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen
your captain speaking

My name is Joe Moser
On behalf of the entire crew

I`d like to welcome you
on board of this Airbus A 330

on its route from Düsseldorf
to the Maldives

next to me, my first officer
Stefan Kater (who is flying today)

let me also introduce our charming
flight attendants

under the direction of
Sabine Molenaar

the doors are closed
we are ready to go

so please, make yourself
comfortable and enjoy the flight

Thanks for your attention

I couldn`t hear you
the earphones were unplugged

I see
these things sometimes happen

We'll start pushing back
you can start the first engine

Fine
we are starting No1

Oh, it seems that we have the "Alonso
of LufthanSa" in the towing truck today

(because he is pushing
a bit fast)

the pushbackdriver even
cut his hair to be that faSt

We are starting
engine No2

We have two good starts
remove all equipment

and show us the clear sign
at the right side

There is the KLM crossing

LTU 730 how long is your
flight time to the Maldives today

Nine hours and 20 minutes

Is this the regular
flight time

that's pretty normal

what's the frequency after
take off, once more?

133,77 MHZ
- thanks -

only 9 hours and 10 minutes
and we'll be there

simple as that...

until we reach the paradise

My colleague Stefan Kater
is the pilot in charge

on today 's flight to the Maldives
and therefore he should give you

some more information

This is our Navigation Display

we are able to gather various
information out of it

right now we can see
the airports in our vicinity

currently we have just passed
Frankfurt

we will fly abeam Stuttgart
and Nuremberg to Munich

We are airborne now for
19 minutes and 38 seconds

This numbers over here
represent our Groundspeed

471 knots at the moment. To get km/h,
you multiply by two - minus 20 percent

On the upper right
we see the actual time

distances to various
positions on our route

and on the left and right bottom
radio beacons

which the airplane receives
automatically to check the navigation

The small points on the
diSplay are other aircrafts

which are certainly quite some
in the Frankfurt airspace

These are airplanes in the cruise,
descend or in a climb as we are

We are about to reach
our cruising level

of 37000 feet (ft)
or 11300 meters (m)

We will remain a while in this level
cause we have to burn off some fuel

and than we'll climb to 39000 ft
which is our final cruising altitude

39000 ft
or 1 1900 m

I have to register
with Vienna Aircontrol

Stefan feeds the computer
with the actual wind data

more accurate - we feed the computer
with data like wind, temperature etc. -

the better the results - which we will
get. It 's like any other computer

(joking) Trash in -
and you'll get trash out

Currently we are over Hungary
on our way to Romania

overhead the Black Sea
than through a part of Turkey

than abeam of Teheran (Iran)

with a southeasterly course
to Dubai - United Arab Emirates

than passing the Oman
into the Arabian Sea

next on to the Indian Ocean
to Male and the Maldives

The remaining flight time
will be close to 8 hours

we expect to arrive on time
at quarter past eight, local time

Good evening, this is your first officer
speaking, welcome on board

on our Airbus A330-200 on the way
from Duesseldorf to Male

As your pilot in charge, I would like
to provide you with some details

about our present flight

After our take off
in a northeasterly direction

we passed Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen
from there on southerly to Munich

continuing to Vienna/Austria
currently we are over Hungary

abeam on the left side is Budapest

Outside air temperature
minus 47 degrees Celsius

The weather forecast
predicts a calm flight

I bet, you are interested in
the weather of Male

we expect a rise in temperature
of 20 degrees celsius to dusseldorf

behind us - 1 1 degrees at departure
ahead of us - 31 degrees at arrival

with almost no clouds
and perfect visibility

Let me finish this with some
technical information

We had a take-off speed
of 275 km/h

our take-off weight
was 200100 kg

On our way to Male we will burn
about 62 000 liter of kerosene

converted into our consumption
per minute - it is 1 10 lt/min

or 55 lt/min per engine
per minute

The prices of kerosene
are varying

for example between Europe
and the Caribbean

we are facing
a large difference

Today we pay in Germany
709 USD per ton (2006)

for the same, we pay 9oo USD
in the Caribbean

In the USA you have to pay -
because half of the Golf region is

still not producing oil -
about 850 USD per ton

and imagine - Cuba is one of the
highest ranked prices

They charge a fortune -
1 100 USD per ton

At the Carribbean, where
the fuel has to be shipped to

we pay 790 USD per ton

On this navigation display
we not only have our routing info

but also other aircrafts
in our surrounding

This symbol, like a diamond,
with the information -20,

shows us , that there is another
aircraft - 2000 ft right below us

We are flying in 39000 ft while
this one is flying in 37000 ft

If we, or the other aircraft
would change the altitude

it would be labeled with an arrow
behind the sign - like now -

since the arrow is gone
in the next second

there was no change in altitude.
Both airplanes stay on their flightpath

it clearly shows us, that we are flying
next to each other, in different altitudes

better known als "separation"

Talking about wind - at the moment,
coming out of 250 degrees with 43 kt

let me show you better on the
compass rose - 250 degrees is here

the arrow also shows us the
wind direction - 250 degrees with 43 kt

As you know: knots times two -
minus 20 percent - converts to km/h

So the wind speeds us up
from behind

TAS (True Air Speed) is 470 kt
GS (Groundspeed) is 505 kt

So we have a backwind component
of 35 kt at the moment

If he would come straight from behind
it would result in a GS of 515 kt

If the wind blows on a 9o degree
angle, it makes no diff. in TAS to GS

If the wind comes from the front
our flight time would be longer

As the component is right now
it will shorten our flighttime

At 01 :30 we will be entering
the Iranian airspace

In about 30 min, we have to
call the Iranian militaty air defence

prior entering the Iranian airspace
They observe the border with radar

We are currently over the eastern
Turkey and it is 01 : 12 German time

It's time for a Sacher-Torte
and a freshly brewed coffee

Enjoy!

wonderful - she's out

Approach briefing. Chart 10-2A
effective 27 Nov 2003

We expect the LELEM 2B
arrival route

Minimum sector altitude
is 1500 ft

The runway measures
3200 meters

after the threshold we still have
3100 m on the runway 18

and we have PAPI (precision appr.
path indicator) on the left runway

I also will use full reverse
- ok -

Anything special to be considered?
- no, everything is fine -

Over here, we can discover
the first atolls

and small islands

and we will land
in about 30 minutes

Ladies an Gentlemen,
this is a brief status from the cockpit

the first islands
of the north male atoll

we will start our descent
in about 5 minutes

the temperature is 32 degrees Celsius
with little clouds

we also expect minor
heat thunderstorms

Here you have a great view of
the atoll with all the small islands

Look at that wonderful atoll
on the left side

The very huge Male atoll
with all the beautiful islands

and on the outside
we have the outer reef

Right now we are in the
inner part of the atoll

There you have a good view
of Male City

the island with large buildings
(coming on your right)

(now you can see the capitol
right next to the runway)

let's go to the final approach
- ok, just turning -

this is the perfect move,
to hit without any correction

you can make a
visual approach on the runway 18

There you can see the city of Male
and on the left the airport

which has developed
to a large area

And on the left, you will see
the seaplane-port for your taxi

I'll take everything off now - and
continue visually - is that ok with you

autothrust - off

autopilot - off

Distance 5 NM 1390 ft

very good, you don't need
any thrust - stay with that

Right side is clear

Dear viewers, thank you for flying
with us to the Maldives

I hope you have enjoyed the flight
and will have a nice stay here

I 'm looking forward
to our flight back

that's it

Thank you for your visit and have
a nice stay on the island. See you
