Deck angle
I don't know, maralinga, but it sounds more like fun to me. Then again, you're quite right - the CEO and his mistress in the aft cabin might not find it so unless properly briefed in advance.
So, how much (approximately) does the new GLEX deck angle change atwixt MTOM and say 8000 lbs less at V2+10 vs. V2+20, say at ISA?
Also, you wrote that the higher deck angle was a "great way to point the engines at the noise monitors", and I suppose you're suggesting an increased deck angle may increase the noise level over that of a flatter climb. Is that just intuitive, or do you know of evidence to that effect?
Either way, I do appreciate your inputs.
Bests,
Tom
