777-200 take off field required 2438m, landing 1548m. BRS 2011m LBA 2250m NCL 2329m CDF 2392m.

Hooded, where do those figures come from and based on what loads.
Based on these figures, cardiff cannot handle the B777, yet Cardiff is BA's engineering base, so regularly sees their B777-200's and B747-400. Also it receives the odd divert from BA, as seen by the recent snow closures.

I ask as these may be figures for fully loaded B777-200's, whereas the ones cardiff sees or either empty both in and out, and the diverts come in full out empty (if pax are offloaded).
