In RIXland we still get clapping on most sectors (outbound or return). I just dont get it!!! The slightest eduction in things aviation (or simply reading the morning papers) should be enough for people to realise that roll out is the time you are most likely to have an incident.
Raptuous applause while shooting off the end and into the localizer array at 100kts - now that is the stuff of a good comedy film
