Guest Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 thanks, in the early 60's Langley High School had windows (evidently they don't now) and if we were lucky we got to watch the 'Skyway Avengers takeoff and land on the airfield across the road from our school. Needless to say this did not impress our teachers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular runway: Been There, Done That! They are AT the end! If I recall, that island strip is about 5,600' long and not very wide. It's not difficult to back up the 757 using reverse but nearly impossible (and definitely not approved) on the 767. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not at the end, where there is a teardrop for turnarounds (by the green star in the image). I know this because after the backup maneuver, they taxi straight ahead to the ramp. They landed on RWY 01 and they're at the second turnoff for the terminal (the red star in the image). The runway length is about 5300 ft, meaning it is a pretty impressive stopping distance. I landed on that runway once in a 320 and touched down at the first piano keys. With medium autobrake, we were not able to make that turnoff. Edited June 11, 2020 by J.O.

I do recall the bigger issue we had was not landing distance but takeoff distance required for our weight (757). Still, good memories for the most part!

Especially test flights designed to test the flight envelope of the aircraft. For example. I know a certain business jet will lose its aft lavatory service panel when the aircraft exceeds Mach 1.02.
