  • A very memorable pilot comment was when I was traveling from Jo’berg to JFK on an SAA 340. We stopped in Dakar in the middle of the night as you need to for fuel. Just before take-off the pilot said “Let’s get this big, beautiful beast airborne”. That plane is definitely ‘alive’ in a very unique way.

I feel/imagine it being like a giant Canadian goose finding its slipstream and heading south to more hospitable climates for winter. The sheer economy of effort. So regal and elegant.

  • Wow that was fast, only about 28 seconds to rotate! I had a similar experience in a 747-400 once, AF BKK-HAN, so quite light, I also timed as 28 seconds. Really amazing to feel so much acceleration shove in a large widebody! I love the A340-600 though, so sad they're mostly retired, I even have a 3-window cutting of a Qatar A340-600HGW in my basement (sentimental reasons).

It was a bit tricky to land because it is very unforgiving about flying below approach speed by just half a knot. But the worst abnormal I had with it was when half of the toilets did not flush because of a faulty waste-water-tank-indicator.

  • That was a huge engine Derating of the full Man ToGa Take-off to the Derated CLB Thrust. The older A340-300 with the little CFM's just from the A320CEO they needed ALL the thrust during Take-off and CLB. I am sure to resch cruising the older serie A340's would use the MCT Thrust setting otherwise you're climb rate with a full and heavy loaded plane would take enormous amount of time. I am curious how fast they can reach cruise at 40.000ft compared between the older and newer if you use only MCT Thrust in both during ascent. Nowedays the newer generation high bypass Turbofan engines are build to generate crazy amount of thrust however to preserve the engines with less maintenance and longer lifespan they will use less and less than older ones with smaller bypass ratio's.

    • That's totally normal. From a physics standpoint, if the plane can't produce enough power, it won't fall back down looking up. The nose will tip forward, and as the plane falls downward, it will gain speed and generate lift again, so the pilots will be able to land safely.
