Spamcan,
For which company did u do the sim ride on the 777's if I might ask?
Thanks.
And yes,thats another touchy point.Reversers to idle latest by 80kts.Or look out for a boom boom on those 115k big ones....
The 757/67 dont have the same problem.At least i never had it on the 767's.The reason I was told was that the sheer length of the fueselage on the 777's makes for a higher main gear strut and therefore a higher than normal(or what we're used to)nosegear height to ground on touchdown.
Was never so pronounced or ever a problem on the earlier boeing versions.Therefore this "second landing" of the nosewheel......
