Preferred B777

[Bypass ratio]

CURRENT A330-200 Driver, don't you have a Harley Davidson which goes against the fact that you dislike Boeing as it is American and "agricultural"? Talk about being hypocritical.
I see you have a nice roster of turn arounds again...! Good luck

[Germanflyer]

B737-200, fully loaded(54t if i remember correctly), JT8D-9 engines(each developing 9k pounds of thrust)......Wheels off to TOC at FL 350......approx 5 mins before TOD on a 3 hour leg...
Beat that....!!

[Lord Spandex Masher]

146-300, take off to TOD at MCT and never got above 230kts or 23,000 in two and half hours. Ha!

What do I win?

[Antman]

10 mins 48s!
I cannot believe someone is sad enough to time how long it takes

Not really just an old habit of starting the elapsed timer at the start of the take off roll. Must be left over from flying analogue jets in the past, that's one without an FMC for the uneducated. All I did was note the time at top of climb

[Wizofoz]

Ah, but Antman,

That implies you care about what you do and don't treat it with detached disdain, thus not qualifying you as one of the cool kids.

[Non Zero]

wow ... what a video ... did they use the OPT for TO performance?

[CLOUDSDRILLER]

The only 777 I know...

Hello, All !

The only 777 I know...
...is the -300ER "777 Boeing Trainer Heavy" Full Flight Sim !
I did really feel great and safe handling qualities, (like flying a big Global Express): simply Fan-tas-tic !
Now I long for flying the "Real One", which is not so easy to happen without a previous "on type" experience or until I find...
...an employer. (Let's cross fingers).

Meet you some day I hope,
Enjoy your flying(s), Be Happy !

Methinks it was the REPB procedure...

[scandistralian]

Must've used one of those dodgy class 1 EFBs...

[nolimitholdem]

Geezuz bragging about which airliner can climb-for-time is a bit like geeks bragging about who bagged the hotter fat chick. Sad.

[Plazbot]

Seriously nolimit? Aviation has to be one of the worst professions for people going out of their way to claim how little they care about it. I think it is a great thread.

To the chap talking about the 146 out of Muscat, I am guessing that was other AWC thing before you got the new one?

Also interested to see what max IAS you mob have achieved in civilian transport aircraft.

[westausatc]

Not sure if they achieved it mate but back home had a B763 pilot tell me he could give me 360KIAS on the drop.

447 KIAS seems quite impressive:

This had peaked at 20,000 ft/min with the aircraft pitched 30° nose-down after the aircraft had been rolled to the left. The control forces remained high but the commander considered this to be due to the aircraft’s speed, which he observed at a maximum of 447 kt.

I think the record is probably held by Hoot Gibson in the TWA 727 though:

TWA Flight 841 (1979) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[scandistralian]

I flew a 737 with a bloke who once told me it is ok to fly 15kts greater than VMO if the air is clear, because Boeing design the plane with a huge tolerance, I am sure he would win this discussion!

@westausatc 360 KIAS on a 767 and the leading edges would start to glow! Did he work for QF or Air Bro?

ps. Are you from Perth? Good knowing a fellow Sandgroper is keeping us safe in DXB

[Craggenmore]

Mr Good Cat,

I know the FO who was RHS on that 737 air test.

"Fcuking terrifying" was the summation.

Horrible for both of them.

A testament to the 737.

No damage to the aircraft even after all that punishment...!
