ydelta Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 After my successful touchdown at EGLC with the big Bus, I was overconfident and decided to try a full landing at Biggin Hill airport to show off a bit to the spotters seated at the terrace of the Lookout cafe Now the issue with this heavy bird is that if you come a bit too high and a bit too fast on the final, this is gonna most likely end up with an angry call from your insurer... It is exactly what happened and I finished my landing by a predictable overrun of runway 03, disturbing a few cows in the middle of their grazing session in the nearby meadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulk Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Any landing you can walk away from is a good one in my eyes. After all a landing is really just a controlled crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Nice! But for your next flight I would recommend the 737 with Short Field Package. Maybe not everyone knows, it was projected by Boeing to meet the requirements of a Brazilian airline that needed a Boeing 737-800 to operate at an airport in Rio de Janeiro with one of the most dangerous approaches worldwide (Santos Dumont airport - SBRJ). Mountains around it (Sugar Loaf), water on all sides. The main runway extension is 1323 meters (4340 ft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie123 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 At least you finished up in a straight line and didn't take out the fence. (As I've done a few times) Just wondering, did you have the Auto-brake wound all the way up? From Wikipedia: " The airport has one runway aligned roughly north-south. The runway (03/21) is 1,820 metres in length, making it usable by aircraft up to Boeing 737/Airbus A320 size, and it has an Instrument Landing System. " I'd go back and try again, a bit slower and enjoy the great scenery as it goes past. Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
