"Yay! Takeoff in St. Mary's 600m runway with a 737"

[Hampo]

Following on with the BAE thread... Decided to give it a go in a 737, and succeed

Sat on the runway with route programmed (just a circuit)

Spooling the engines up

Rotate!

I'm off!

Climbing

St Mary's in the background

Turning for finals (short finals  )

Bit off centerline

Stopped with not much room left!


Crap shots because I couldn't be arsed taking my time  

Comments/Cheques welcome

I'm just amazed you actually landed the thing :shock:

Minimum Fuel and a Headwind also helps. I dont know what payload he had on, but it could have been 0 since his pax were 0.

Fly into a hurricane, with a 100 knot headwind :twisted:

Flew empty, 0 pax, 0 cargo, 5% fuel.

Max autobrake, spoilers and max reverse helped stop

[Bobandirus]

Very good! Now just try T/O with full fuel, or try that on Portland Millatry   :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

That's nothing compared to an A300 at SABA

I just landed at St Mary's a few times with a CRJ-700

And youve crashed a few times... :wink:


BTW, how about an ATR and Q-400 in St. mary?

If the trend is heading for flying smaller planes, then how about a Piper Cub?  Cessna Caravan

If the trend is not heading for flying smaller planes, plz send me a plane larger than A380.
Your help will be appreciated. :wink:

You can't even land a Beech King Air.  And when you do land, its on the grass, never the runway

I know this thread is old but I just bought FSX today and takeoffs and landings here was one of the first things I tried. I used empty aircraft with only 4-5% fuel.

My first attempt was the ingame 737-800, which was very easy. These pics show were I stopped.



My second attempt was the 747-400, the takeoff was very close, I probably clipped the fence with the main landing gear.

And here's where I stopped.


My last attempt was using Camsim's beautiful Boeing 700 concept aircraft (777 and 747 replacement concept)
I misjudged my altitude and landed about 100-150m down the runway.

But I still had plenty of runway to spare when I stopped.



IMO not bad for a first try, considering I haven't played FSX much
