My dear Captain Rat , last week I watched an airliner make countless flapless landings during a crew training sortie. You really need to get a life dear fellow. :bored:

As I was sitting waiting to go today, watched a Dornier do a flapless. Fun to watch, but that's about it.

I believe this is the spectactors gallery so let them ask whatever they want to ask, even if you think its ridiculous.

Flapless landing, higher Vref speed on approach, vacated at the usual high speed turnoff from 27R. All ok no tyre problems. Was a 340-600 if anyone was interested.
