On a more serious note than my last post...I have long been aware of the hang your feet out to cool requirement for certain fast-turnaround conditions but despite having ridden in the back of quite some number of fast turnaround flights, I have never been aware of the undercarriage being relowered after the initial climbout. To take just one type, what percentage of fast turnaround 737 landings are heavy braked and what percentage of those go out again in under say 53 minutes? Does the 53 mins apply to NG's? Any ideas?
