WN Classes Delayed Due to Max Uncertainty

310, that's all? Were you heavy? Or the wing just quit flying?

New engine. Same wing. It would be slow, but the engines could get you into the high 30s/low 40s no problem.

We generally are within 15K of max takeoff weight and can't get above FL340 until a few hours in. The good thing though is that the engine is so damn efficient that the difference between doing a crossing at FL360 and FL260 is only about 1500 LBS of gas. In the winter we've been getting a block between 22 and 30 some trips just to find smooth air.

Absurd, page after page of airbus garbage on a WN thread.

737 max shall rise again! The war ain't over!

Try landing flaps 3 a few times in the 321.
In the 321 I think it’s 7* difference. (I don’t remember exact numbers, but full in a 320 and 321 are different.)

I like the 19 much better, it’s easier to taxi, has power for days. Power swap over makes me cringe though. I don’t know if it’s an age thing with are older birds*.





*9ish years. Not quite almost 30 like AA and Air Canada POS’s.

Flare 10' higher. It's about a half second difference but then you aren't trying to save it as she bottoms out sooner than you expect.

You mean closing my eyes when I close the thrust levers is the wrong tactic? Oops.

Wars over man. Wormer dropped the big one.

The 321 is the easiest friggin thing to land. It softens everything. Flaps 3 vs 4 not a big difference on the 321. Much bigger difference on the 320 (3 vs 4) with the sight picture and attitude.

I also find the 321 to be a joy to land. I just wish ours had brake fans.
