Am I reading this correctly -- 175 knots over the numbers on landing in a 737?Originally Posted by Scott Stoops
Same for me. Any winter storm causes severe weight restrictions on flights over 1.5 hours with an alternate into Denver. So let's see. SFO, SAN, LAX, PDX, SEA, PHX, IAH, ORD, MSP, and that's just barely getting east of the Mississippi. Lots more east of there. All because of the tail ice penalty. It is so much of a problem that we're instituting a new go-around procedure that allows/requires depending on weight and conditions up to a 175 kt target and can only be used Cat I and better weather. Boeing should have stopped at the -800 and restarted the 757 line with a new wing and engine package. They didn't, and thus we're stuck with the whistling @#$%&*^ frankenjet.Scott
