Maybe D7 is practicing its fuel saving takeoffs and not using full thrust but using full runway! :)

Also, In general, the A340-300 powered by its four "hair dryer" engines is notorious for late take-offs. :pardon:

OT, are you sure it is notorious for late take-offs?Don't get me wrong, I just want to learn here, from the pictures, it seems like she need more MTOW Take of run which is 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) according to wiki and 14L/32R runways length is 4,124m (13,530 ft) btw.

Thats not in technically for sure. Perhaps winds or like what Flee said a.k.a flex takeoff or thrust reductions. I'm not sure whether its good for fuel economy, thrust reductions or to preserve engine wear. I just want to learn from you guys :rofl: .Sorry for my English :sorry:

I have always seen late rotations on an A340-300 irrespective of the airline/airport/weather conditions. A340-300s are known to have a shallow climb rate.

 

Here is a comparative weight/thrust ratio of modern widebody aircraft. Got this info. from a thread on Airliners.net

 

[AIRCRAFT] [MTOW] [MAX.THRUST] [RATIO KGS/LB]

 

A330-200 230.000 128K/136K 1,797/1,691

 

A330-300 212.000 128K/136K 1,656/1,559

 

B747-400 385.555 227K/248K 1,463/1,555

 

B747-400ER 412.770 248.000 1,818

 

B777-200ER 263.085 168K/184K 1,566/1,430

 

B777-200LR 341.105 220.000 1,550

 

B777-300 263.080 180K/196K 1,462/1,342

 

B777-300ER 299.380 230.600 1,298

 

A340-200 260.000 124.800 2,083

 

A340-300 260.000 130.200 1,997

 

A340-300E 275.000 130.200 2,112

 

So, from the above figures, it is evident that the weight/thrust ratio of the A340-300 is the highest. In other words, the thrust to weight ratio would be the lowest amongst its peers.

I think it a bit out of topic here,but instead of opening a new post, i would like to ask a question! :rolleyes:
