another 21st Century Ryan production! Gulfstream, the maker who's managed to keep their planes from being modeled in flight sims (except as AIs). Cheers!
Well, they certainly didn't get any change back on that landing distance! I would bet that both pilots were silently thinking "Any time now... Can everybody just kinda stick their feet out..."
@RyanBomar I have no doubt that they began planning that landing before they even took off. A quick check on Flight Radar 24 shows that they have visited that airport several times and are no doubt familiar with this runway, but all it takes is one updraft to float that shiny new G-500 off the end. It really is a testament to both plane and pilots that they can consistently shoehorn that thing in there time after time.
@@tonyradmilovich3154 I'm a commercial pilot of 25 years, flight instructor, and have time on jets. Theres a few points here that need to be clarified. The runway was plenty long. Transport category jets compute their landing distance required using the following data, weight, temperature, headwind component, airfield elevation. That gives you a number - in this case I guess about 3000 feet (1000m). Then you multiply that by 1.67 to give you the total runway length required. It looks like the pilot used the correct technique for a shortish runway, planting it firmly in the touchdown zone and looked like only medium braking. A max effort stop would have used significantly less runway. No need to hammer the brakes if you are only going to roll to the end anyway.
