hey,

ive only seen the SQ's T7's exercise this departure, nobody else. What gets is why dont other heavy operators like PIA(like u stated) or Malaysian use 6R, i know its takes time to taxi( this should be solved soon when i new taxiway is created down the the entery of 6R) but if it will maintain the performance of the aircraft then why not, i have seen the bump on 6L i to me i would be alittle hesitant to take a 74 or a 77 for that matter down, by the same token would this increase the probability of a tail strike in the pilot rotates on the bump?(im just rabbiting sorry), has anyone every experienced this 'bump'?


cheers
