Errr, more likely because of high fuel costs, high lease costs, high maintance and general high overheads coupled with low demand.

All very true. And because of the drag the gear is sometimes used as an airbrake when one needs to get down fairly quickly. That might be the reason in this case.

In a turbo prop the best airbrake would be closing the thrust levers and put the props into fine pitch…much better than the gear….I never used the gear to get down quickly, only to reduce speed.

Flying at max gear extended speed with the flaps down would cause the flap load relief to kick in and the flaps will retract to their blowback speed due to high air flow loads.

R.Weaver, may I suggest before setting of to complete your CPL you attend a CRM course. This might open your eyes as the way you are putting yourself across to others.;)

Wysi,

In London ATC the 757 is in it’s own category…medium/heavy. Also in thsis category is the 707, DC8 and a few others. Can’t remember the others though, it was a long time ago that I was in ATC.:cool:

Nah, some airlines dont have them. i think Virgin may have rid them, and possibly Cathay or Australian airlines. But not sure about them!

Cathay have no plans whatsoever of getting rid of the hats.
