ydelta Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Taking off from a short runway with a big liner is challenging but it remains manageable if you spool up the engines with brakes set and pray that everything goes well... More challenging is the landing as every inch of the runway counts and you better aim to touchdown right after the approach lights ramp So I cut off the end of the series to keep some suspence for those who wonders if I finished in the water of the Royal Docks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Fantastic sequence, I land and keep the reversers on with max brakes. I hope you made it as XP is not as forgiving as P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you made it as XP is not as forgiving as P3D. With this bid bird and a runway that short (less than 1600m at EGLC) you better have to master your approach, keeping your speed slightly under VREF but with some margin to avoid stalling and remain in the flight envelop with proper angle of attack and slope to touch down at the very beginning of the runway, even before the touchdown marks to preserve the landing distance with full reverse and braking power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAMBA1 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Great shots. But my guess is if it landed OK , It will have a hard time taking off on such short runway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
