Boeing 777-200 LR Myth: Is it really possible to take off from a 2000m runnway with full pax etc?

Featured Replies

Hi! 

 

I red that Air Austral ordered the famous Boeing 777-200 LR, because it´s possible to operate the Route "Myotte - Paris" with full pax and fuel for a flight time of about 9 Hours. They wrote that the -LR is able to take off from this short 2000m runway. Is this true? Is it really possible? 

 

But if yes: I think its necessary to standing on the brakes, give full thrust and releasing the brakes, right?

Question: what is the aircraft weight at brake release supposed to be?

 

How many passengers? Is it passengers + baggage only (no cargo)? How much baggage? 10 kg per passenger?

 

Best regards,

Robin.

Where's Myotte, can't even find it in Google? Anyway, for a 9 hour flight, the plane wouldn't need full fuel, and with passengers only with baggage, with no cargo, it should be able to make it, I would think, but it would be close.

Thanks

In 9 hours flight, the plane departures with 60% fuel (+/-) With maximum passengers and no cargo, i think it's able to takeoff in only 2000ft

2000 m

 

Aprox 6000 ft

Myotte is the name of the overseas department of France . It's Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport (FMCZ). Current runway length is 1929 meters.

With packs off, full TO, and flaps 15 a T7 easily could rocket off of a 6000ft rwy. (That is if the weight isn't too great. < 650k lbs)

 

Recently, I departed with full TO at ~ 515k lbs. - Rocketed into the air in literally 3000 feet.

Okay, that´s cool...! Well, Air Austral has a maximum seating capacity of 362 (WOW!!!) in the Boeing 777-200LR, Normally i set my flaps to 5 for a normal take off, is this standard?

Yes that would be normal, but if you were real heavy, or taking off from a short runway like this Flaps 15 would probably be more appropriate

Thanks

Wow. I bet the v1 speed is very low. Not much stopping distance if anything goes wrong.

Should be able to takeoff at that distance especially if they ordered the 115k engines.

I've just run the figures on a standard day (15 degrees, qnh 1013, sea lvl) with 0 wind and it comes out with a max tow of 286548kg with flaps 20, v1 143, vr 148, v2 157 for a 2000m runway

Okay, so you would say that this is possible and there are no problems with safety?
