Re: Quick turnaround for the 777?
> On the other hand you may think it safet to be on the ground near a fire engine than fanning the flames at a few thousand feet.
Trade off, you don't know that the wing/control surface isn't damaged or that the engine isn't about to fall off and take your wing with it (El Al Flight 1862)
But landing 32,000lbs overweight with no thrust reversers and the risk of over-heating your brakes, bursting tires and starting a fire - is still risky
