SWA flight diverted on zero flaps
SWA flight diverted on zero flaps. Why MKE, when GYY is closer? (www.avherald.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Some dont get the need for extra runway, a little extra speed even just a few knots will increse the distance a bunch. Hotter brakes and tires due to the higher landing speed not being able to get the weight on the gear as soon due to the increased speed causing too much lift.
3,000 feet of runway and much better restaurants. Crew could get to hotel in limo rather than Brinks Car.
That's NOT funny. Gary has plenty of runway and over-run plus no obstructions. As now reported it wasn't just zero flaps, but 200kt landing speed, which can be adjusted with the throttles.
Good point...and if they did overrun SWA may even pick up a government grant for urban renewal...LOL.
Zero flaps = 200kn landing speed. As opposed to what, 130+/- ?
Closer is irrevlevant if you can't stop in time.
