Someone better tell London City where final approach starts over southwark

Puddle jumpers. Now try the same trick with a 747 or Airbus 380, which

normal 3 degrees for Heathrow and other major airports. A big jet can't
approach at 6 degrees safely anywhere near full load, as they tend to
stall and fall out of the sky.

That sounds iffy to me, got a citation?

Your extraordinary ignorance is on display, yet again.

Sorry, that article is supposed to tell me what? Nowhere does it state that
big jets would stall at a 6 deg approach angle.

It says they can't land at more than a 3° angle. If you knew even a little
about this subject, you'd know that Heathrow was targeting an increase to
3.5°, but even this will be hard. It's taking years of investigation:

But they could just have saved themselves all that time and trouble just by
consulting our village idiot.


Once again you demonstrate your inability to follow simple exglish.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with 'exglish'. Is that your native language? I
realise English isn't.


Pilots don't like City airport much, either.

I can't imagine pax are too thrilled about it either. Visited it once ,

all facilities and a right slog on the DLR.

Just saying what I saw rather than reading it off a website. This was 10 years
ago so it may well have improved. It could hardly have got any worse.

If you mixed with more cosmopolitan people you'd know that LCY flyers love
it, though less than they did a decade ago, when it was less crowded.
