Ok, so say I have been designated a SID to follow after takeoff, the SID has strict rules for climbing for example at 4000ft at a certain waypoint, then 5000ft next one and so on. Then after takeoff atc instructs me let say for example "climb FL 150". Should I just forget the published restrictions and shoot up or obey the restrictions until past the last restriction point and then just climb to assigned FL? And if I follow the restrictions, say the ATC directs starts all of a sudden giving me vectors (which take me off my published SID lateral route) out of the terminal area, can I at that point forget about the alt restrictions since I am not even flying the published SID anymore? Thanks! -
Hi all Santos Dumont (SBRJ/SDU) is one of the most challenging destinations; hence it's also one of my favorites. Most of the time I fly from Sao Paulo (SBSP), as that route makes an interesting return flight as well. I use the 737-800SFP with GOL painting. I'm getting quite good at landing at SBRJ. Occasional go-arounds due to late cockpit preparations still happen, but that airport requires you to be pretty precise. I was wondering what limitations there are for takeoff and landing at SBRJ, and searched this and other forums for answers. This is what I ended up with: SBRJ T/O Only RWY 20L/02R Tail Wind max 5kt Max OAT = 40c Flaps 15 / 25 (15 = best performance) Max TOW: 68K (Wet =64K) Opt for Bleed off (Only very little gain) 27K TO-B (Always) No rolling. Release brakes at N1=70% Then TOGA Thrust reduction/Acceleration = 820’ / 820’ Speed mode = N1 VNAV engaged @ Transition ALT = 5000’ Assumed Temp. Max. 44c SBRJ Landing Tail Wind max 5kt Only 20L/02R Flaps 40 Autobrake MAX Max LW 58.2 It’s the very last bullet (max landing weight 58,2 tonnes) that I never seem to get even close to. I’m mostly well above 60 tonnes when I land! This is the post I got the number from: http://forum.avsim.n...-field-package/ So, these are my calculations: Dry weight = 41,413kg Reserve fuel and final taxi fuel = 3,000kg (incl unused holding, alternative and contingency) 166 PAX + 10kg carry-on = (80kg+10kg)*166 = 14940kg Luggage = 166pax * 15kg (average checked in luggage) = 2490kg No extra cargo Total landing weight is then 61,843kg! I’m often told, that I need to lose weight :-), but here we are talking about 3.6 tonnes ! I haven’t overrun the runway yet, so it might be the 58.2 tonnes max landing weight, that’s not right. But it really sounded like the poster knew what he was talking about. My guess is that my calculations are wrong. But I can’t really see where? Any help, knowledge and guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance. //Lasse
