300 Knots


Posted by Picasa In the descent towards Lisbon's runway 35 arriving from Rome, Air Traffic Control asked us to maintain "high speed" as we were number one for the approach. In this phase of the flight it is possible to gain a few (2 or 3) minutes without burning extra fuel by speeding up. Preferably this should be done by managing the flight to keep the engines at idle thrust. A320 CS-TMW chasing the sunset at 300 KIAS (Knots Indicated Air Speed).

  4. Thanks Geomentor.

    Nuno: Try Airbus at Toulouse, otherwise any maintenance organization certified to carry out maintenance on Airbus can get you one... TAP for example ;)

    1. Olá Alex ;) Obrigado pelo teu "comment". Maputo fica fora dos meus destinos ainda por muitos anos a não ser que algo de inesperado aconteca como por vezes...acontece. Bjinhos!
