Fubar512 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I wonder if the airlines would charge an extra fee if pilots were to perform takeoffs and breaks like this 3 Quote
logan4 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I don't think will cost extra, but I suppose with full load of fuel and the extra weight of passengers+luggage this will be not so nimble. Regardless, they could count me in anytime for a ride like that. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Derk Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Years ago a friend of mine invited me when he had to qualify on the KLM Airbus A 310 and we did touch & go's at Lille Seclin the whole afternoon. Plane got lighter and lighter , must have burned more than 20 tons of fuel (out of a total of 38 tons) , no passengers, no luggage, resulting in quite steep take off's in the end.....
