JFK Runways
« on: September 19, 2010, 10:13:39 am »
The runway 4L 4R seems to be a bit short. I would like the runway to be a bit longer.Kennedy airport is big i have problems trying to stop my aircraft before it reaches the end of the runway using 747 or MD 11 with speed brakes armed and brakes on max full flaps. I came in at 180 knots landing at 4R i have to make changes to my flight planes come in at 150 knots to land on rw4r worked ok. ???

150 knots sounds about right. 180 knots for landing is much too fast. With the 747, I might even go as low as 140 knots.
