Just to dispel a few myths here. The touchdown zone is still the standard distance into the runway , you aim to cross the runway threshold at 50’ to touchdown near the touchdown zone . The calculated landing performance is based on this - you do not go lower intentionally for fairly obvious reasons ( jet aircraft fly the approach about 2.5 degrees nose up , can start harvesting lights or even land short if not careful )
@Jamestheavgeek1
Ай бұрын
Great comment! As I’ve experienced when standing at the end of the runway the altitude of aircraft can vary, I know due to the shorter runway more braking than usual is required + a firmer touchdown will often help to loose speed, as seen in the wizz air a321NEO landing video in 2022 the touchdown wasn’t necessary hard but the approach itself was dangerously low but being the aviation nutter I am I’d have love to have been underneath it.

That you very much for your kind comment! Regarding your question about weather this is a standard procedure in skiathos, TO/GA thrust is often applied to all takeoffs however a standing takeoff is a little more unusual. The reason it happened in this case was the weather on this day was hotter than usual for skiathos and the weight was at it’s maximum so we needed as much power as possible to get us off the ground.

@@transportguy1k635 It will all be down to three factors I imagine, the first being the age of the aircraft. Newer ones have much higher performance and will more or less be able to fly direct with no issues, the next is payload, the heavier the aircraft the more runway it’ll need so again if it is a newer plane it shouldn’t be much of a problem. And finally the heat, believe it or not heat can effect aircraft’s performance by quite a lot. On this particular day it was very hot so there for our aircraft being rather full, and not being the most modern 737 along side with the heat is why we needed to refuel at Thessaloniki.

I was there back in the late 80's. A woman had her hat blown into the water, she bent over to pick it up as they set full thrust and over she went face down into the sea. I also saw a lad sat on a moped watching. He decided the exhaust was getting a bit too warm and tried to ride off. He of course immediately got blown over sideways. My mates tried standing directly behind but ended up running in the opposite direction at high speed as they couldn't stand the heat. I didn't try standing behind as having your face and eyes sand blasted and breathing in all the crap from the exhaust seemed a good way to damage your health.

Can you elaborate on that a bit more? Does is has to do with the air being spooled up?

@@stephenwouw8624 it mostly starts with what’s known as the “Spool” this is when the pilot applies thrust from 40% to takeoff thrust, heading the buzz is noticeable at this point, after liftoff the pilot will often reduce the thrust which sometimes makes it seem louder than it actually is, however I am only speaking for the aircraft I have flown on. I’ve never been on an aircraft larger than a 757 before but I know long haul aircraft such as the 777 in your case can still have a spool but it’s a much deeper growl than a 737 for example. But to summarise in short, depending on how much thrust the pilot uses will depend on how well you hear the buzz.
@stephenwouw8624
Ай бұрын
@@Jamestheavgeek1 I see. I went a bit on a deep dive into the matter. It seems the newer generation of jet engines doesn’t have the buzz as much, which only leads to more questions.. because the newer engines are more powerful and more efficient, are the fan blades to go less supersonic? I’m talking about the A350-1000 in particular. It then there is footage to be found where the buzz is there but far less noticeable, is that the superior soundproofing of the Airbus which is incredible I must add or is it the engines? Also older generation of jet engines doesn’t have the buzz as much or at all.. to me the best part of the takeoff is the sound, when the engines spools up and winds up, there is nothing quite like it. Yet that sound is quickly overpowered by the buzz.. which is in my opinion a buzzkill (pun intended). In the recent 777-300 flight AMS-SIN was a fully packed flight and the power was quite something else. The A350 is impressive nonetheless, but on a different level, it’s all about efficiency. It shows in the stats. Whereas the 777-300 is all about power.
