I'd say yes Ek operate DXB-NCL-DXB on the A332 RR engines. Flying time NCL DXB 0645-0720 depending on winds. Last time I did it we where off RWY 25 at NCL 2262m and flex in the 40's.
request deferred said:
The CF6 engines on the QF -300s are more powerful than the CF6s on their -200s. Not to say that the -200 doesn't still have a better power to weight ratio . . .
Incidentally, RR advertise the Trent772B as having the best "thrust to weight ratio" and "best takeoff and climb performance" for the A330. It's rated at 71100lb thrust. Go figure . .
Clear as mud? Back to the discussion. . .
A333 heavier but same thrust as a A332 therefore A333 has a poorer power to weight ratio

Yeah,thats true.
When the A332 took off from VXO she used about 1400 m ( 4592 feet)
of the runway she was going to SHJ and later continued to HKT...

Is it even safe to fly an A333 to GSE???
I mean is it possible that the plane continue out of the runway??
Beacause there are alots of horses at the end of rwy 01
...
And at GSE homepage it says that the biggest plane that can land
there is the B767,but the A332 is almost as big as the 767...

Iīve got one more question
When you takeoff is it true that you only can use 80% of the
runway length??
For ex. 2100*0,8= 1680 m
2000*0,8= 1680 m
Can an A333 lift off from such short length ( 6h flight time) ??

Yeah im with you.
But at ARN and its shortest rwy is 2500m and A333 gets pretty big problems there a warm summerday...
When im on GOT (3300 m runway) i always see A333 use about 2200m
of the runway,but i guess thats just a normal flex or assumed temp...
The landing would probably dont cause any bigger problems i think.
But if you land you must takeoff
And the final question is if VKG ( im a dreamer now) started their
operations to GSE (almost 2000m) could their A333 take any cargo on that
flight or??
