Booooooooo.
I flew the mini dog and I approve of and share your butthurtiness. The next time I touch one, I hope its to sip beer out of.

I don't see the big deal, aren't planes supposed to depart from runways?
At least they didn't "taking the runway" with them.

Apparently 717's can't only not climb, it can't handle a wee bit of snow either.

Doesn’t the 717 have Climb, CLB 1, and CLB 2? If climb performance sucks, don’t guys hit normal Climb for max climb power?

Yes. And no... it costs more.
Climb power gets bigger, profit sharing check gets smaller.

@Cherokee_Cruiser to be faaaaiiirrr...
There was one day where I think I dumped CLB1 to get over the top of some weather. But out here it was super rare to need the extra thrust.
Totally unrelated... I keep getting max power takeoff requests from MX on the new plane on empty "short" (<6 hour) reposition legs. That's... fun. Almost blew the 3000 foot restriction at DOCKR.

Sounds like it’s the same concept for the 737. We have CLB, CLB 1, CLB 2. The airplane gradually goes normal climb by 15,000ft (derate removed).
CLB 1 is 3% N1 reduction and CLB 2 is 6% N1 reduction.
CLB 1 is 3% N1 reduction and CLB 2 is 6% N1 reduction.

Omni regularly goes BFI-SEA and vice versa. Got one of those on an empty -200 with no pax and like 20k of gas and sure enough "max pwr t/o reqstd". It seriously felt like we were going straight up...for like three seconds, then it was time to level off. Wheeeeeee.

I'm digging back 3 airplanes ago but I think it was a 10% and 20% reduction. Hence @NovemberEcho getting all salty about the 717.

While I'm not a Controller. I've been told that I'm controlling. Is that the same thing?

Just to clarify, are we up there because you’re down there, or is it the other way around?

Depends. How good are you at being on the land line?While I'm not a Controller. I've been told that I'm controlling. Is that the same thing?
