A four engined plane at London City... that would have to been a Bae 146 or RJ70/100

Live coverage and footage from http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-...ely_From_Plane suggests its an Avro RJ100

The BA flight was from Amsterdam. Short interview with a passenger at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7889728.stm

City airport is largely served by Avros/146's and Fokker 70's.
The approach is difficult primarily because it's twice as steep as the standard approach, no reverse thrust allowed and the runway is short. (only slightly longer than Bankstown's main runway) http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/aip/cu...GLC_8-1_en.pdf To add to the interest it's built on a dock and is surrounded by water on three sides. Here's an example of what can go wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5prz1Ae5QM (added later) and a cockpit view of the approach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-ed6H4TJD8 peak hour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY5Tu...eature=related Last edited by Matt D; 14th February 2009 at 04:17 PM. |

IIRC, reverse thrust is not a factor in landing runway length calculations anyway.

Nathan,
This is the quote from the B747-400 Performance Limitations manual 'Background Information - Landing / Certification' section: Quote:
The Autobrake system provdes fixed rates of deceleration with or without reverse selected (it varies the brake pressure to achieve the target deceleration). However, if full manual braking was applied, the use of reversed thrust in addition to the braking would result in a shorter stopping distance over the no or idle reverse case. In any case, I digress! |
