A Clearway aids/permits heavier aircraft to use shorter runways that otherwise wouldn't have been allowed, performance wise.
If there was no Clearway at Bristol, Rwy 27, that Ryanair flight would either be pax limited commercially (like BHD) or have to do a tech stop en-route.
I understand from a previous poster this flight was off to the Canaries? Full load?
If that's the case, I can absolutely see how the wheels maybe, apparently, just left the paved surface at the very end. It's the very existence of the 1000m Clearway that allowed them to do it the way we saw in the video.
There was nothing illegal/dangerous/crew error/etc etc about this.
I hope the people writing that this take-off was clearly abnormal are not commercial pilots. Your perf and your knowledge and understanding of it is your bread & butter of flying. On a par with pitch & power. It is absolutely the fundamental thing keeping you alive.
How does one go about closing a thread?
