TAKE-OFF ??? That's the "easy" part (r-i-i-i-i-ight).
Sounds like one of my max gross weight, hot, high field altitude scenarios I throw at crews in the simulator to test CRM, procedures, terrain avoidance and ability to safely return to the field. Always sucks (for them) when they forget to brief 3ROCTAKE-OFF ??? That's the "easy" part (r-i-i-i-i-ight).
Can you imagine losing an engine while passing V1 ... ???
Or ... can you imagine taking off -- immediately getting an inextinguishable engine fire (or some other get-down-ASAP situation) -- and after turning downwind and staggering through the air & procedure(s) and mebbe dumping (how much good WILL it do at that point??) and going 'dirty' ... and walkin', talkin', chewin' gum, and flyin', too ...
... you now have to muscle-finesse @ 1M # of metal, rubber, fuel, plastic, cargo, AND mebbe pax safely back onto the (possibly wet? heavy X-wind? minimum visibility?) runway at HIGH speeds and 'zero' sink-rate and get the SUPER-WHALE stopped prior to the end of the concrete ... ???
That would be a day to bring your 'A' game.
I think scoolbubba is referring to both fan and hi temp parts of the engine cowlings.I'm not sure how much aero engineering went into it- other than aesthetic design. You would likely know though. Happy New Years!
Guys. Don't kid yourself. He is a shifty Jo that doesn't known what he is talking about. He is probably up to no good also. Something about him I don't quite trust!
