Cool

I heard the Tri-Star overrun was due to some armour plating left in the hold under the cabin floor as the aircraft had operated either a series of Governmental or Royal VIP trips. This 'additional' weight was not removed when the aircraft was re-configured post trips and not included in the Aircraft Operating Weights. Consequently the aircraft was a good few tons heavier than the crew thought and made landing performance calculations for. Otherwise a fair post L/CONTROLLER.

Max Angle.

Your post speaks volumes about your confidence in your own abilities and the capabilities of your aircraft.
