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 .Sorry for my English Maybe D7 is practicing its fuel saving takeoffs and not using full thrust but using full runway!

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. - Vivek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
