Departing in fog
Hello everyone
Departing a foggy MAN earlier this year, the Captain announced that just prior to take off,he would be increasing power to the engines- whilst keeping the brakes on for a short while, as it was standard procedure when taking off in foggy weather. I have a number of theories why this is and no doubt all of them are way off the mark so I would be grateful to know the real reason. If its relevant, it was a Jet2 737-300 by the way.
Thanks in advance
