      ​@@barryrathbone"TO/GA" is the engine setting on Boeing aircraft, only. It stands for "Take Off/Go Around" as those are generally the only times when full power is used on a plane engine. Mind you, most takeoff's don't use full power these days either. This saves on engine maintenance and fuel costs.

    Those 20 minutes were awful. The pilot made it at the second attempt, incredible skills considering how much the plane was drifting, whilst pouring.
    So thankful to the pilot. My partner was scared to death. I was just trying not to puke.

    Wait, so police warned British citizens to avoid the storm, stay indoors, don't make any unnecessary journeys, keep safe, beware power cuts - but airlines are 'still' allowed to fill our skies with thousands of tons of flying metal thrown about by up to 90mph winds.
    You know, that's the kind of reasoning I've come to expect these days.

    • @timbrooke8701
      @timbrooke8701 6 днів тому +3

      For information only, the windspeed at 40,000 feet where airliners fly is often between 100 and 160 mph, this is normal. Landing speed is 184 to 218 mph so 90 mph wind straight down the runway means half your work is done for you and so you will attain taxi speed faster without too much braking effort.
      The reason you should stay inside is because a tree might fall on you, or your head swiftly removed by a rooftile 🙃 Neither of which you will find in the sky or within the boundary of an airfield.😁
