  1. Large airplanes have a maximum landing weight considerably less than max takeoff weight.  Such airplanes (777, 747 for example) are equipped with fuel jettison tubes so they can dump fuel if they have to make an emergency return to land.  Smaller planes, like the 737, don't need this.


  2. Kevin h got it

  3. It depends.  Normally yes, but sometimes no WRT type a/c, temperature, desnity altitude and runway strength.  Ultimately though, gravity wins and depending on how you define "land", anything is probable.  Generok

  4. Just Put on full REVERSE THRUSTERS and flaps 75 degrees.....Proceed for landing on runway 24.......

  5. What are you asking?

  6. OK. Sounds good. Go right ahead. Roger that. 10-4 good buddy. You may proceed.

  7. larger aircraft cant land with a full load of fuel and pax. here's an easy way to think of this.. grab the heaviest thing you can carry on your own and walk around with it.. this will simulate your max take off weight.. now lets say you have some kind of failure right after take off and need come land as soon as possible.. so climb up on a chair with that heavy object and jump off.. most likely, your legs would give out when you land.. they may actually break or just buckle and all that weight would land on top of you..  same thing happens when an aircraft lands over weight..

  8. Sure.  They can be safely landed when heavier than the maximum allowed landing weight, too.

  9. Question, statement, terrorist threat, what is it?

  10. Ok? Airplanes are designed and tested to be able to land and stop safely with a full load of passengers and possibly fuel, although for emergency landings excessive fuel is dumped to lighten the load and not take any chances.

  11. on da runway. (its the big long chunk of asphalt.)
