as a pilot, and a Western Australian (that grew up on MMA and Ansett) and a 1982 ARN I just think I cried through this whole video! Great stuff. My early flights with the folks to the East were in RMX!

I have the pleasure of flying with now Capt Greg Pearce (F/O in this Vid) these days on the 'Bus' & have known Glen (the Flt Engineer) for many years, Glen is now retired from flying & living the dream:-) Ansett, once a dream place to work, now just a distant memory sadly.

Had the privilege of a cockpit visit on a Australian Airlines 727 many years ago (before 911), which was a real thrill for an up and coming commercial pilot.

I would say the 727 was/is the BEST model ever produced by Boeing - hands down!!. Comfortable, little noise, smooth! Fabulous! They should reintroduce it.

here in the states we use flaps 30 for landing. In fact, FAA put bolts into the quadrant so you can't even select them to 40. However, you could always extend them to that with alternate flaps sw.
@briangillespie98339 жыл бұрын
triplanelover My Cessna 172 manual states that slips are not to be attempted with 40 degrees of flaps but I've done it many times with no problems. I'm curious as to why the 40 degree setting would be prohibited on a 727.
@coriscotupi7 жыл бұрын
+Brian Gillespie With less than perfect airspeed and glide slope management, at flaps 40 the 727 could get into a dangerously high sink rate that might not be recoverable. It is my understanding however that it was not the FAA who mandated the quadrant blocking for the 40 setting but particular airline policies.
@ChrisCooper3127 жыл бұрын
It's because at flaps 40 the 727 can get to a very high angle of attack before stalling, and because of the high tail the airflow off the stalling wing can hit the horizontal stabiliser and elevators, causing pitch control to be lost and therefore making recovery from the stall very difficult. This is known as a deep stall. At flaps 30 or less the plane will stall before the angle of attack is high enough for this to be an issue.

Perth airport back in the day....it's like a time warp, Rwy 21 hasn't changed, except perhaps it's magnetic heading which is now 196 degrees so you'd think they'd change it to Rwy 20, but change is slow in WA.

@graemewilliams13089 жыл бұрын
+Edoardo Daneo Yes, I think the theory was to help increase inboard flap track life by reducing 1&3 reverse thrust forward deflection of inboard flap segments.
@alancordwell97598 жыл бұрын
It's also interesting that they used 40 degrees, many 727 operators limited maximum landing flap to 30 even (in some cases) installing a mechanical stop to prevent 40 being selected. This action was apparently taken as a result of the view that the high sink rates and/or stalls which were associated with flaps 40 were a factor in some accidents.
@graemewilliams13088 жыл бұрын
Yes I was aware of that. But where I live, the 727 100/200 was operated for decades by the airline depicted in the video & routinely used 40 flap if conditions & landing weight permitted. The lower landing speeds helped extend tyre life, brake life & reduced taxi time which was a consideration.
