Would you say the memers are…. Rising to the challenge?

Thought he was on a roll, but really he kneads to stop

I have vacation and I’m just loafing around at home

Vacation should be the yeast of your concerns

I had to look; max manual on the MD; SL, at max landing is about 6700. Shorter than the -300 with max auto brakes.

That got me curious about the 777F. Max manual at MLW is about 4400, and AB Max is about 5700.

 

[Fixtur]

Would you please leaven it alone. These puns are a pain-ful.

When its ripping out of the northwest and they’re landing 29 in EWR they pump UAL triples onto that runway like it’s nothing.

Red over red, you’ll hit the bread!

These puns gave me a Rye smile

We have the smaller fuselage and bigger wing on the freighter. So we stop pretty fast.

But the 777 is just an impressive airplane.

early aimpoint shift to a duck under? Be interesting to see.

I’m not surprised. I was always amazed at how quick and smoothly that thing stopped once you got it on the ground.

I saw posted what looked like a replay of the ADSB data and if accurate they also got quite slow right before the road.

Oh don’t be crusty

I never flew one and probably never will at this point unfortunately, but I always got the impression that the 777 is like the 757 of widebodies. Most variants of it at least. It can get in and out of places you wouldn't think something that size would be capable of.

That's pretty accurate.

I”m glad everyone is OK, but HOT DAMN!

“Leave the Air Force in the Air Force, we do not duck under. EVER.” I told a OE captain once in the middle of his brief. I mean like “We’re done, you’ll be deadheading home after landing and awaiting a call from the board” level of ‘thou shalt not’

This was a 330 “cutting the grass” in Amsterdam:

Big airplanes a no-no for aimpoint shift. That’s a tactical jet thing.

The simple adage of don’t hit the ground, and don’t hit anything attached to the ground, always applies.

Ducking under is one way to turn a stable approach into unstable.
