The reason is that when the reverser buckets are deployed, they can contact the runway if the nose is still airborne. (It's been done many times).<BR/> Therefore the deceleration rate is slightly reduced and getting stopped before the intersection is less likely.<BR/><BR/>That's about the only reason that I can think of.<BR/>Thanks for reading....LenLen (Barfbag)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16457712945996628748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254425194697307553.post-90835772100371981432008-01-12T12:48:00.000-06:002008-01-12T12:48:00.000-06:00i have always been curious about why the 80 seems ...i have always been curious about why the 80 seems to be the aircraft with the least likely chance of landing 4 and holding short of 31/13 or landing 31 short of 4/22. maybe it's just me, but those are the aircraft that i see going through the intersections more than any other. <BR/><BR/>of course, these aren't really LAHSO ops, but tower sure can make it a pain to cross back over sometimes.s.wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06047920442000565211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254425194697307553.post-78459618832037870712008-01-10T19:22:00.000-06:002008-01-10T19:22:00.000-06:00sounds like excitment!

I guess it will be awhile before I get to experience it first hand. I heard that the expressway visual is a fun one!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690827119183161311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254425194697307553.post-14506374083679595542008-01-10T07:35:00.000-06:002008-01-10T07:35:00.000-06:00Teller,Sometimes we use de-rated takeoff power at ...Teller,<BR/><BR/>Sometimes we use de-rated takeoff power at LGA when conditions permit. But we have to be pretty light...probably not going very far. Supposedly all of our takeoffs are balanced field but we both know that a high speed abort would be disastrous. I'd say 90% of our departures there are at max power. In the summer it's not uncommon for us to be weight restricted out of there. Kind of tough on the non-revs!Len (Barfbag)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16457712945996628748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254425194697307553.post-30741486579495426532008-01-09T22:36:00.000-06:002008-01-09T22:36:00.000-06:00It was always interesting taxiing behind you guys ...It was always interesting taxiing behind you guys at LGA - we'd always get stopped short of 22 or short of the merge right behind a Mad Dog and get absolutely rocked when you'd power up to move. Your engines are basically at eye level from the pointy end of the 1900...nothing like staring down the business end of a jet pipe that I think is bigger than my car.<BR/><BR/> Never the less, your takeoff roll is ALWAYS exciting. The deep roar that vibrates your chest as the water in the harbor ripples in the wake; then that uneasy curiosity as to whether or not we're going to get to see EMAS at work. Do you guys use balanced field\de-rated takeoff thrust, or does it just work out that you bring it within a 1000 feet of the far end before clawing your way into the air? The white Mad Dogs always seemed to take it farther than you guys, but it's always fun to watch.Tellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486930007879785977noreply@blogger.com
