On the subject of an engine-out, what would be the situation if a fully laden 737 for Oz were to experience an engine-out emergency?
Is NZWL runway long enough to accommodate the aircraft in that situation? I was thinking of the full reverse thrust needed to stop an aircraft at Wellington in a normal situation, the weight of the incoming craft and the massive assymetric thrust that would occur at full reverse thrust following an engine-out.
Would Wellington be OK?
The options.....
take a risk and try for Christchurch or would Ohakea be acceptable under the circumstances?
A case for lengthening the runway.....
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
