Airbus A320 pilots??

None of the above, I hear it all the time. It sort of sounds like a car starter motor turning over with a flat battery, except it repeats for about a minute.

I travel on the A320 and family pretty often on LAN in South America. I notice the same thing as well. Always wondered if it was related to the gear or maybe flaps.

Went to Malaysia Airlines site and looked up the flight to LAX.

It's a Boeing 777-200.

 

   Ummm... I wouldn't expect any less competent intelligence than to use the most trusty-reliable work-horses in the fleet with greater capabilities on one primary routes on one of your busier travel days of the week...?

I'm actually a very big fan on Malaysia Air as a commercial airlines company, their entire fleet is I think ~ 3/4-2/3 Boeings  AND (by coincidence, I think not  ) they have one of the highest standards (and record) for maintenance and safety quality in the world today still, if I recall.  They also, previously, had the class/style/swager to operate DC-3s and Super Connies (and I think they still do operate DC-3s in Malaysia).


They're also ordering I think ~50 new boeings if I remember the recent news reels.
