I live in Eldwick, near Bingley. Pretty much everything except flights to Ireland come right over the house at about 6,000ft as they climb-out from a 32 take off. I've been at LBA a couple of times just after PIA775 landed. Those planes always seem full to bursting with almost everyone who...

That's interesting - I never considered that the Chevin could be an issue for departing aircraft. I always thought it might present an obstacle to planes approaching, maybe compromising the glide slope, but my experience of steep climb-outs from 32 in 737s, which [admittedly] only need half of...

Don't worry - I'm not remotely of the belief that the relevant pieces of homework haven't been done. Just curious as to what limits they'll be working with to get such a big plane off the tarmac while ensuring it can go the distance. How much of a squeeze is it? Can you explain this a bit more...

Would that make enough of a difference? I can't find any stats as to how the take-off distances vary by fuel load. Will it go all the way to ISB from LBA on half a tank, bearing in mind that these flights are usually full and that everyone on board seems to take a hell of a lot of hold luggage...

Re: Does anyone know the reg. numbers of planes from 3 fligh Many thanks for your help spectrum and sorry for the delay in thanking you.
