KVNY ops

[knot4u]

Flightaware says 2 G-4s left KVNY today. 16R is closed, 16L is 4000'. Thoughts?

 

[Maurus]

Special accommodations can be made for people that call ahead depending on the work being done on 16R.

 

[mshunter]

And? 6000+ available for take off from 16l. They probably still had acceleration/stop.

Whats the problem?

Seems short to me.

Not true about the 6k.

Vny is allowing takeoff and landing operations from 34r/16l as long as the wingspan is less than 79 feet and not more than sixty thousand pound takeoff or landing weight,.. also of course the aircraft has to meet the performance numbers.

 

[CFI A&P]

Used to watch a part 91 G550 takeoff and land on 3,300'. They did it all the time until that airport instituted a wingspan limitation of the parallel taxiway.

An engine failure might have been interesting there.

We can get the Lear into 16L if we are super light, and eligible on demand. Takeoff wouldn't be that big of a deal depending... I bet those G4s went BUR for their fuel and pax though.

 

[Muff3n]

My flight department's G2s regularly operate in and out of 5k feet strips at our home airport, but they have real turbines on them and smoke like a locomotive, not those quiet and clean toy engines they put on airplanes these days.

There's a guy who flies some sort of small Slowtation into and out of RHV - without the numbers, that's basically what I've always thought. "Hey everyone, watch this..."

It works fine, until it doesn't.

Of course, there's an elementary school at one end, and a busy urban thoroughfare and mall at the other, in case you don't have enough accelerate-stop...and Capitol Expressway is right there too if you need to set down (ha ha ha, yeah right).

Was working at KVNY today, watched a G-III, G-IV, Falcon 50 and a Lear 55 depart. Looked liked a toss-up between the 55 and the 3 as to who used the most runway. Also I believe they were all headed to KBUR.

You're right. I mis spoke. With all the NOTAM's they've had lately, I can't keep it all straight there.

Still not all that concerning to me. Gulfstreams are known for their take off performance.

 

[mshunter]

An engine failure in a single engine airplane from that runway would be interesting to. Or anywhere for that matter.

 

[knot4u]

The G-III made alot of noise and smoke leaving, I like it when folks come out to watch an aircraft leave, there were a few. No one has tried to land yet, in a large cabin jet.

And your point is? Isn't the point of a turbine multi that you won't die when an engine fails at rotation at 130 knots? (Assuming you have performance numbers for the runway.)

 

[MikeD]

The G-III made alot of noise and smoke leaving,.

Was probably quiet compared to a Saberliner 40 with J60s, or a Lear 23 with CJ610s
