Here's what I want to know...does a 737 at Sea level, max weight, burn up 7000 feet of runway using max power?
B737800FPPM 1.2.4
Sea Level, ISA+10 (25C)
Flap 5
7000ft
MTOW 77T
Speeds 152 154 160
Answer is Yep it will use 7000ft as MGTOW is 79T so we are weight limited
Foils.... I take it that you are your age as posted and that you have some experience. What comes as second nature to us experienced gents. Is far from the calibre of some of the newer members of the club.
One my drinking buddies here is the Head of Training Boeing Fleet for a major European carrier his opinion is that in the past decade a the quality of candidate has dropped substantially, many factors include self funding min hour type ratings and at one stage desperate shortages that saw anyone with a CPL IR and a heart beat making it into some carriers.
These guys have started in Joe Blow airlines where SOPs were rare, DEC’s were taken where they could get them and there was very little corporate knowledge passed on.
Now these guys are making it to the LHS and believe me, a lot make MINIMUM standard or competency, constantly.
Nuff said
