Quote: The ones on the 737-800 are 220... and that airplane is a runway hog for sure. Typical approach speed is in the mid 150's. Rotation is usually near 160.

We did a heavy takeoff out of MEX a few weeks ago and our takeoff roll was over 10,000 feet!
Is this why the 73 has surpassed the 88 this year in the number of unstabilized visual approaches? Just did recurrent and the instr said the Mad Dog is no longer the sloppy messy kid in the cafeteria
