Guest David C Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Does anyone know why some arircraft , including this B744 of United Airlines have those unpainted / white patches under the fuselage . My guess is that it aids visual contact in not so good weather conditions , but I may be well off the mark .. What do you think ?? ... Incidentely this is N180UA i/b Sydney about 15 mins ago .

Guest Darren Masters Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dave, great pic by the way I think it's something to do with where the 'grey water' is ejected in flight, ie, the fluids from the wash basin in the toilet and from the galley. You will often see coffee stains in these areas as the cabin crew are constantly in trouble for getting rid of the coffee via these grey water sinks. The tubes that this water comes out of are heated so as to prevent freezing when they meet the atmosphere at this high altitude. When I worked at the airport, we used to love filling the lavatory sink and then dumping the water when someone was walking below at one of the drain points :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glenn Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Just as well they don't dump some other stuff or the stains will be a different colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chainsaw Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 eeewwwweeee That sort of thing is one very good reason why I would never have considered becoming a plumber! Just as well the planes that fly over my place are on their way out. Too soon for dumping stuff [-o< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darren Masters Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey hey it's only ever the grey (sink water) or anything anyone pours down there that is dumped outside into the atmosphere. It NEVER includes the dunny waste. Have we had this conversation before Chainy? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
