And remember you already step back a couple of decades when you get off the aeroplane from SYD in Auckland. So Great Barrier Island must be stuck somewhere in the mid 1950s...

Thanks Bob. I meant, how wide is the u/c of a Trislander against 9 metres of Great Barrier Island runway relative to the 3fatty on Sydney's 45 metre runway?

A380 is about 14.3m for its outer main gear span on a 45m wide YSSY runway.
Trislander is about 4m on a 9m runway. So, although the Trislander has relatively slightly less margin, it's also going a damn sight slower on the runway so hopefulluy there's more time to correct any deviations.
