Huh? The 757 is one of the nicest planes to land. It has a huge wing with lots of lift, tail strikes aren't an issue (in the 200 at least), lots of crosswind capability, low approach speeds, and great brakes.

Performing a nice flare at 30 feet and 135 knots in the 757 is way easier than arresting the controlled crash of a 737-800 at 160 knots 10 feet above the ground while trying not to hit the tail and worrying about brake temperatures when deciding what turn off to aim for.

I thought the guppy didn’t have brake temp indications?

Flare a 757 at 30 feet? You’ll float forever in that. 10-20 feet. And you’ll still roll it on in the zone. Now the 767 should be flared at 30 feet.

Heard FAA isn’t allowing it to be removed until they get there to investigate, EWR single runway... have fun out there.

Someone should get the autoland system updated then.

Certainly they do!

Doesn’t mean they don’t get hot

Yes but there are no operating parameters other than quick turn around times that limit us. How exactly do you know what the temps are and what do you do about it?

Guppy has 99 problems but brakes ain’t one.

First day of interneting eh?
