B767: how to remember a/c dimensions

Dr. Feelgood · 4th Aug 2006, 18:22

For all B767-300 pilots,

Here's a nice tip to remember the wingsspan and length. (not that it's difficult to remember anyway

)

7 6 7:

wingspan = 7 x 7 = 49m (actual 47,57)
length = 7 x 7 + 6 = 55m (actual 54,94)

Happy flying

Doc.

For all B737-500 pilots;

- Height (to tip of the fin) is 11.1 metres - so think BAC1-11
- Length is 31.0 metres - so think A310
- Track is 5.2 metres - so think Junkers 52.
- Span is 28.9 metres, so think 30 minus 1.1.

You didn't read my post, did you? Did you by any chance look at the link? My post was what is known as a parody. It was, I freely admit, sarcastic, but in a well-intentioned and humourous way. It took me 2 minutes to write - I just pulled up the first aircraft I came across on Airliners.net - and I thought it might give someone a harmless laugh. Nope, not a chance.

Guys, PPRuNe has a real problem. How can a forum operate properly when no one ever bothers to read anything but their own posts?
