No drop that I know of in S.C. -- Regards, Bob F. |

No drop that I know of in S.C. OK, but what I meant was that a pilot of an aircraft of that performance level isn't really thinking "restraint". It's really more cut and dried than that. Bertie |

It's beyond the end of the runway and used for planning purposes...no? -- Regards, Bob F. |

Both runways are longer than 8,000', crackhead. Try again, JJ. |

It's beyond the end of the runway and used for planning purposes...no? True, but it's part of the runway environment. The point I was trying to make was that the word just didn't seem to fit the picture. I dont know what word I would use in it's place. Performance limitations would probably be closer to it, but that probably had little to do with the accident in any case, as they were probably well within those.. I just thought "constraint" is a bit tabloid n this case. Bertie |
