Found a pic on Myaviation.net of SAAB737-800 with leading edge slat extended and the author says that they continued onto destination but at lower altitude. here is the link to the photo:http://www.myaviation.net/search/photo_search.php?id=00544151&size=large
My question: Max speed is now 250 kts, max altitude is now 20000ft as per Boeing 737 QRH and Limitations ....(or have I got this info wrong?)
How much extra fuel had to be on board to continue onto CPT in this configuration? would it not have beeen safer to return to JNB see-ing that this must have been evident shortly after take-off out of JNB?
Is landing weight restriction on the B737-800 maybee the reason for continuing?
On our B737-2/3/400 the limitations are as mentioned above, are they maybee different on the B737-800 to allow a higher altitude with L/E extended and is the max speed on the B737-800 with L/E extended higher than 250kts.
I would have returned to land at JNB but then I dont fly B738
