121 guys, how does this happen? (AKA,Oh Delta)

You see the latest brakes memo?

What an embarrassment.

I called this a while back on the 320 thread...

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

I just click what intersection I want to exit and BTV handles the dirty work.

FLEXXXXXXXXXXXX!

I have a feeling if I try that, the airplane will auto descent and land me at Burlington, VT.

Stick to making jokes about Sioux City, Pensacola, Columbus, and Little Rock.

Do you know the Southwest joke going into Little Rock?


I got all your references except CMH or CAE. Maybe my mind isn’t dirty enough.

AS routinely makes N off of 16R…which I did once in an -800 (and my wife still gives me grief for “that was some braking”).

Now I don’t ever plan on N, always P or Q…no need for jumping on the brakes.

Why are you landing on 16R?

Columbus. But not CMH.

Haha yeah, I love hearing heavy southern jets keep asking for the L until app/final asks if they are willing to hold......"uh no, we can take the right".

Imagine caring enough to ask for a runway other than what you get assigned

Man I don't even like asking for an approach that's not advertised.

Landing on 35R/17L in SDF when very heavy in a 74-8 (say, I dunno, every ANC-SDF leg) is a bit puckering. Like, will the airplane do it? For sure, with room to spare, provided you get it in the TDZ and nothing goes wrong. That said, I will be a pest about asking whether they've opened up the long runway. Sorry not sorry.

I mean sure, if it materially increases safety then of course ask. But if it’s just to avoid 2 minutes of taxi time but then I have to do 2 minutes worth of work to abide by the SOPs to do everything involved with changing a runway?

Makes me think of the captain I flew with in 2017 who would request the then-rarely used 1L/19R at IAD to build PIC time from the extra long taxi (if you're not familiar with IAD, it's at least a mile from the terminals). He would also fly at 55% torque for the same reason.

Just for y’all, a couple Capt’s that I’ve flown with also flew the A330 in the right seat said “A330 will do 16R (8500ft long), but it’s going to be like doing a 6000ft runway in the 737”

That’s why they ask for 16L

Especially after a long ass day and you haven't landed since last month, or maybe the month before.

The real question is, did we ask for a wind check

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Do you even SNA bro?

A couple times, but I regularly MDW and TTN which is quite similar.

A mere ~8600ft? OH MY! Sounds a tad like the dreaded 7 engine approach! :O

I mean, by definition, you're ALWAYS heavy in a 748. But, relative to MLW, how heavy are you going to be in a 748?? Did you guys start doing short-hop auto parts without telling the rest of us?
