Well when you’re talking about making a saving of 8kgs but then you then wipe out that saving by taxying a much further distance (think E vs FR at EGKK for instance) then yes it is very relevant. I think the braking to start causing whiplash would be extreme indeed (never have I once experienced it as a passenger or as a crew member and I operate/pax into EGJJ a
lot).
