Air Canada Boeing B777 doing touch & go in London, ON (#2)

This is the second of three touch and go landings in one afternoon of Air Canada's new Boeing 777 aircraft. This time the aircraft touched down about right on the markers. B777's should do touch & go's more often!

For those who don't know the reason for the Touch & Go landings are the fact that if a pilot has not done 3 landings in the past 90 days, they must do 3 landings before picking up passengers. This B777 would not have passengers on board as they would not do this unless they had a severe threat.

Nicely pointed out Josh - absolutely correct.

Hey great video, just wandering, do they not do touch and goes with full flaps? Because I don't think the flaps would be fast enough to retract all the way up to take-off setting, although I don't know the 777 very well. Thanks!

[GuyRolsch]

I don't know the 777 at all, so I'm not sure. Based on just looking at it, I'd say they were not using full flaps (I'm assuming they were super light though).... definitely don't know how fast the flaps move.

y do they perform "touch and go's"...?? is it because they come in to land too fast and then decide if they r gonne stop and they just get back in the air??

or they do on purpose......? y would they wanna do it on purpose?

[GuyRolsch]

Yes, they were doing this on purpose. It would be very rare for an aircraft to to go around after actually touching touch on the runway.

nice landing and takeoff.

Awesome! Is London used for touch & goes for other airlines as well? In other words, is it an airport that a lot of airlines use for this sort of thing?

@ryan1111111555555555 You're right - I searched Google and saw some pics of them two - they really looks like Mother and her littel daughter lol , Thanks for replyin'

[ryan1111111555555555]

@walidhassan61 lol no a 777 is classed as 'heavy' go on google and type in 777 vs 737 and you'll laugh lol, the body circumference of the 737 is like 1 of the 777s engines

[ZitumboX]

what is runway and place??? Plz tell me

[XosrovTheGreat]

what waz the reason for T&G?

[walidhassan61]

is it the same size as the 737 - 800 or is it bigger ? cause it seems heavy as it's made of stone or it's just my imagination ?

West Jet in London ?

[Studmuffinowitch]

@JoshOrionHoward Well..I don't totally agree because the company would make sure that each pilot gets his 3 ldgs within the 90 days - doing touch and goes with an a/c like this and no passengers are too expensive. My guess is that it is a type rating for new pilots.
