Title: Re: Braking Distance Accurate? Post by LOU on Dec 3rd, 2010 at 9:16pm
The CS 727 seems to me to stop pretty close to what I remember.
Most of the time landing at normal domestic weight, lets say 120,000 to 125,000 pounds, the 727 would stop with spoilers and reverse and just a light bit of brake at the end of the roll out. In fact the spoilers and reverse do the most good if deployed on touchdown. Application of brake was avoided above 100 kts unless needed. The old style blocker doors worked better than the cascade vanes, but the door failure rate was high. The 727 had nose wheel brakes, but they were seldom used and were taken off to save weight. Lou |
