And with all the friends you are making here, a Seneca with high pay will be your only shot at the big time.

Ah.. to be 23 again and know everything.. even when what you know is wrong.

So, if the 2000 isn't certified for the US, you may want to tell the various operators that are flying it with N numbers. (check it out, sport. http://tinyurl.com/y7e5hc

And, odds are you don't even know what the MECs and PECs was all about.

Once again.. all sizzle and no steak.

the -340 was one of the first, if not the first, that used ANR in the cabin to create a quieter environment. The fuselage was one of the first to use the robotic riveter in Malmo. The assembly was one of the first to be done with 'quiet floors' where there was not much noise on the assembly line.

Let's see.. the Airbus is a POS. The Saab is a POS. What isn't a POS in your *humble* opinion? And what kind of experience do you have to render this eagerly awaited analysis.

So, the C-150 versus the -152.. whaddaya think?? Maybe this is more in your experience range.

At touchdown, there is a certain amount of kinetic energy that must be converted to something else in order for the airplane to achieve taxi speed. A good deal of that is converted into heat in the brakes. Whether it takes 3 seconds, or 15, it is about the same. What I'm trying to say is MAX braking rate shouldn't make the brakes a whole lot hotter than MED or MIN. Yes, somewhat higher, but I don't know about "brake temps get pretty high" higher.
Nope, it's the inside tire that comes up. Think about the loading on the two tires as a turn is entered. The load tends to build up on the outside tire as the turn is done lifting the inside tire.

I've had the opportunity to do quite a few max brake landings. They literally always result in a brake overtemp alert. It can take as long as 15-20 minutes for the brakes to reach their maximum temp after landing but they do get considerably hotter than when using medium and certainly minimum brakes.

I'll have to dig around and check on the 45 minute wait that I mentioned. I might have that knitnoid fact scrambled in with other stuff in my head. The older I get the more often that seems to happen.

You're (or your for 'loosers') entitled to an opinion. There is a difference, however, between opinion and informed or educated opinion as you are so vividly demonstrating

You are all morons for entering into a debate about who's plane is better; do you honestly care ??

Well atleast we know that KA doesn't stand for Kiss Ass. Hey KA, why don't you PM your full name and I'll see to it that you don't ever have to fly for this POS airline either. Won't take but a minute, I promise.
