"STATIC"
not rolling, not standing, "STATIC"
definition is available from manufacturer.
In case I didn't mention it: "STATIC" rpt "STATIC"
The truth is 87% down TODA: either the planes are nicely airborne ( authorities indicate a failure to achieve this needs to have an explanation, ie weight/wind/temp variance... or the certificate of airworthiness is invalid) or they are taxying by. In the one case I am aware of where this was explored on specific takeoffs, 7 out of 7 werereported to be still on ground at that point, (87% TODA) without cause. Of interest, no authority would act.
recall the CX photo waas of an aircraft running on all engines, had not had a failure. How neat would that takeoff have been with a failure? If that had paying passengers onboard, would they have been receiving the care and due diligence of their contract with the carrier? Would the authorities have been compliant with their duties?
Who out there has been trained for or ever seen a STATIC takeoff other than JT8D engined types?
bye bye now.
