OPNLguy and Nonrvsmdmf,
Thank you for the explanation. That is why I love Airliners.net and these forums, someone will have the answer.
Thanks again,

Jump to postI've watched Just Plane's DVD of Kai Tak, I understand this is no way all the 747 that are operating, but when ever the camera was positioned in front of the 747 when landing none of the classic 747 used the automatic slat retraction, I noticed the 747-400 used them. If any flight crews on this site...
Jump to postWell here another question. Why would the flight crew want to de-activate this feature on their aircraft??
Rducky
Do the -200 still have the system today or did the airline companies stop using them?
Rducky
Hey Everyone,
I've got a questions, I know the 747-400 leading edge slats retract once the thrust reversers are engaged upon touchdown, does the classic 747's have this feature?

alias=B747_400panel do not delete this because this tells the program which panel to use with your aircraft.
Just copy and paste the view section, also remember the views are for the Meljet aircraft and not POSKY.

FLY2HMO,
Right click on the link above and click "save target as" and save it and it should begin downloading?

I have their remake of Kai Tak, into a dvd. That one is awesome, I am going to buy the Atlas Air dvd remake.
Rducky
Unfortunately, no automated take-off.
They are called CAT III approaches, the airport, aircraft, and aircrews must be certified. I know you will get a more clear picture of this type of procedure if you post this at Tech Forum.

Wasn't there a Qantas 747-400 that did EGLL-YSSY nonstop? I believe it was a delivery flight, and they towed the aircraft to the departure runway prior to starting the engines, to minimize the fuel consumption during the taxi out? If I am mistaken sorry.

The name change I think kinda important, I have a friend who was a crew scheduler, and is now a dispatcher for them.

Jump to postI also agree if you are told to turn it off by all means do so without hesitation.
To date I always bring my scanner onboard, before going to my seat I pop my head into the cockpit and talk with the flight crew and ask them they mind me using it, they laugh and say no problem, so far I haven't met a flight crew that said no, although I can't speak for all the crews, but for me I s...
Jump to postI'm surprised no one mention that YSSY, doesn't have a CAT-III approach, they don't even have a CAT-II, their ILS CAT-I. That is probably the main reason for diverting. 3 thing are needed, the airport has to be certified, the pilots must also be certified, as well as the aircraft. I should think Qan...
Jump to postHey Everyone, I've just finished watching Just Plane's DVD of Kai Tak's Final Years, anyway on the 2nd DVD they shoot an approach from inside a 747-400 over the left wing more toward the front, in plain view you can see the leading edge slats extended, as the aircraft touches down, you can see the s...
Jump to postWhat's the most in terms of great circle distance you've traveled in a 60 day span? Back in 1992, in 60 days, I traveled from KSMX-KLAX-PANC-RJTY-RJTT, then took a taxicab to RJAA-PHNL-KLAX-KPHL-KRDG-KPHL-KLAX-KPHL-KGON-KPHL-KMCO for a total of 18,172 nm using the great circle mapper. rducky
Jump to postBofredik, Fltsim 2004, Similar approaches can be simulated @ KJFK shooting the VOR 13L, or VOR 13R approach, also another approach similar to Kai Tak is also LPMA, Funcal Portugal, but be weary LPMA is a short runway, so be on your speed for this approach, if you are going to use a HEAVY aircraft.

Jump to postIs there anybody who has flown on the concorde, I think they would hold the record?
rducky
I think that is the very reason why Airlines such like American, and Delta have opted to let go of their tri-jet heavies, because of Boeing 777, offers much more cost effective operations when compared with MD-11.
