    Is ‘forgetting’ the correct way?
    Surely landing flaps is part of the landing checklist, not something you easily forget about.

    Most tend to handle better in gusting winds with less flaps. I believe there is a situation on the 767 where in particular conditions, VREF for flap 30 is higher than VREF for flap 20.

    A light A319 with a stiff headwind going into Heathrow could be significantly slower on final approach than the 777 behind it. Runway length is more than sufficient and by using full flap and the slower approach speed, your only wasting time?

    Perhaps Skycruiser, moondance or wys can explain correctly, but I doubt ‘pilots forgetting to use more flaps’ is common. Deciding to use less flaps yes, but forgetting?

    Actually, according to some on PPRUNE both happened.

    Something happened a KLM 767 and it’s blocking one runway, with a GPU connected while a Cathay A340 had an aborted take-off from the other and the fire brigade attended it too. Went back to stand, refuelled and took off again.

    Don’t remember any of them.

    Though some of the old programs I watch on Paramount etc these days;
    Robin’s Nest (incidentally Robin looks like my father 20 years ago, suppose they all looked them same then, unfashionable 😀 )

    Cheers, the one set in the bar in Boston with Fraiser

    What happened the Clangers? Little puppets like wombles who lived on the moon and whistled to each other?

    Is Trolley Dollies the one based on Excel? Heard it mentioned on PPRUNE and a few times but never really paid attention and never seen an episode.

    Memories of Airline with Britannia and their cabin crew are coming flooding back. What did you call that bloke with the tennis injury, BJ or VJ? :d
