I'm sure the load planners have already thought about this. It won't be doing long enough flights to have consistent performance issues. Probably just ORD or IAH

FWIW-I believe it is doing DEN in place of the 757-300, which is full every time I do that flight

The 757-300 still has shorter take of rolls and shorter landing roll outs than a 900 or ER. Better brakes and spoilers!

Saw a 300 roll out of DCA the other day like it was child's play. Love that machine.

Do you guys do the flaps 5 go around nonsense with ludicrous speed target speeds? How is it going in there when it's snowing?

Guppy approach to Denver in the winter:

As they taxied out of the alley you'd practically get blown into Flushing bay if you were at the blast fence.

Guppy approach to Denver in the winter:

Flaps 15 always for go-arounds for us. But, with headwind corrections our Vref speeds can be corrected upwards to 20 knots additional speed.

I wouldn't imagine the alternate go around procedure would ever be needed into LGA as it is used to meet landing climb limits which shouldn't be an issue at a sea level airport. However, I have been wrong before.

That depends upon who you talk to. Chuck Yeager or Captain Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles? No one is ever forced to accept an approach to a short runway in ORD when there are other (always and better) options. Try that at LGA.

Short runways coupled with lousy brakes, high approach speeds, circling approaches, tail-strike techniques... What could go wrong? I wonder what FOQA data shows?
