Performance
Thanks superspotter,
I did say “fairly big”. Engines look like JT9Ds; are yours CF6s? is there much difference in thrust? Anyway, don’t suppose you’ve got any figures for EBBR Rwy 20? Failing that, using conservative figures: balanced field of 2987m (9800ft); 0.7%UP; 120ft amsl; T/W 2kts; +20C.
If you agree on a ball-park figure of 6 hrs to OBBI, how about FOB 75T for the 76T payload?
How much fat might that leave us with?
Thanks for the overrun info, VAFFPAX.
Earl, you are reminding me of the bad old days in the Seven-oh. Often, we’d never have stopped from V1. But are you sure you’d get airborne, on the remaining pavement, after an engine failure at 85kts? [Assuming you could use nosewheel steering to keep it straight below Vmcg.] There are tyre failures and tire failures, of course. We need a performance monitor (as we were saying 20 or 30 years ago…).
