Dunlops dangling???
This one is aimed at you pilot people out there who visit this forum.
I know that sometimes you need to leave the wheels hanging down after takeoff for good reasons. The only thing is....if it's not too busy on the frequency letting us know beforehand would be nice.
Otherwise we sit there watching you climb out, just waiting for you to say "tower, ABC123" in that certain tone of voice.
You know the one where the next transmission goes along the lines of "oh poo something's gone clunk & we'd really like to come back"
If you have got a problem I probably don't want to launch the next departure straight up your ar$e. Even if you haven't got a major problem I still might need to allow extra time before departing the next one if you are climbing out slower than usual.
In the meantime the inbound is tanking in on the ILS & I need to decide whether the outbound is gonna go or vacate the runway. Cos if the inbound goes around he'll be up your ar$e almost as quickly.
So please if you do know beforehand let us know.
