Wonderful things those Autoland sytems,,

Macau suffers from 20kt crossing tailwind in summer - hence a heavy 321 can approach/land with a groundspeed of about 160kt. But runway is soooooo long you can float without penalty

:mad: Of course I am not advising running off the end of the runway you idiot.
I'm just saying that if you are not used to 800fpm+ on late finals then you dont need to worry about rushing the flare and risking a hard landing - first allowable exit at VMMC is almost 3000m from touchdown, and min A320 stopping distance is under 1000m (from normal approach speeds). ie the far end of the runway is a long long way away. Anyway, if you floated 2000m you would tailstrike first.... |
