Anyone know the landing distance?

Featured Replies

Just a quick one here, Wondering if anyone knows the landing distance of a 767-300ER, I want to take my leveld into my home airport, but the runway isnt taht long so just curious if anyone knows where to find landing distances for the 767.The runway is 6000feet, Im gonna try it anyways, if it dont look good on the approach im just gonna go to alternate, no cheating for me, if it dont look promising then it dont look promising, especially with fspax running :( Thnaks

Depends on your landing weight, weather and your landing technique, but should be just fine.Happy landing! :( 767land.jpg

It will depend on your landing weight, which will affect your approach speed and how quickly you can slow down once on the deck, so you will want the minimum fuel you can manage with. Runway conditions will be a factor too of course, but unless you use TSR Autobrake, that is likely to be less of a concern. Another factor will be the headwind you are coming into.In a tight spot with the 767, you will probably want to put your autobrakes on RTO (although with 6,000 feet of runway, that shouldn't be needed), RTO will apply maximum braking pressure when you close the throttles at less than 85 knots (which does nothing for passenger comfort, but it will certainly stop you quickly given enough room).It should be easily possible to get a 767 down on 6,000 feet of tarmac if you get all that stuff right.Al

Thanks, ill give it a try and see what happens, Is it just me or is it hard to find some data on the 767 on the web, I've looked and looked for landing distances and just could not find it.Thanks again.

RTO only applies to a rejected takeoff, and if it's modelled correctly, it won't work during a landing. Put the autobrake to max for ful symmetrical braking upon touchdown. With 6,000ft, you shouldn't have any issue whatsoever.

I would say 6000ft will be OK check the Vasi Lights if 4Red--to low--4White--to high--4Green--Your in the Grass!!!Ed.

True, but on the vast majority of FS airliners, you can cheat and use it LOL The real thing would use the maximum setting instead of course. Either way, I think 6,000 feet of the black stuff ought to be enough, especially in FS, which is somewhat less than realistic on braking distances for airliners.If you really do want to know the landing distance at any given weight for your aircraft in FS though, you can calculate it with this: http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?acti...ht%20SimulationAl

Thanks for alll the comments, I can assure now after having flown the flight that I had her stopped in about 4000- 4500 feet. I was quite light however with an approach speed of about 140knots, full flaps and autobrakes on max. My gross weight upon takeoff was around 261000lbs, less a little fuel at my destination as it was only a 30 minute, 190 nm flight.I touch down right at the threshhold and kicked the reversers in as soon as the mains touched down without hesitation. All in all it was very easy and I think i could have relaxed a little more on the autobrakes and still would have had room.anyways thanks for the comments again.

Well, 6,000 feet is certainly better than my hometown airport. I tried landing a Boeing 757-200 at my hometown airport and only had a little less than 3,000 feet to work with. And surprisingly, I managed to stop on the runway and take off from the runway. Trying to use the taxiways, on the other hand, was not easy.
