The 321 is weight limited on a wet runway to about 73.5 tonnes. With an average ZFM of 70 tonnes that still gives you a shot at CAT 3 and a safe div to MAN. Yes it stops OK, no it is not a problem - done 2 in CAT 3. It's a real shame though that Airbus didn't put the twin bogey that they developed for the 320 onto the 321. Look at Air India 320's and you will see what I mean. Now I wonder if Midland are looking for Direct entry Captains and Multi fleet with the 330?
