OASIS B747-400 Training

really awesome :)

Not really. Once you touch down, and the spoilers deploy (On most commercial jets), this happens as soon as the mains are down, you are committed to landing. The decision to go around, is usually made between 200 and 50 feet on the approach.

Touch and Gos are used to train approach and landing procedures. Not full stopping the aircraft saves wear and tear on the aircraft. Less brake usage, and it engine and fuel wear since you are not starting your take off roll from a full stop...

@bphendri The decision to go around can also be made once the aircraft has touched down, the fact the spoilers have extended does not automatically preclude a go around. Normally we would say once reverse thrust is engaged, you are committed to a full stop landing

The Oasis is now all dried up! It operated scheduled services to Vancouver, Canada and London Gatwick from its hub, Hong Kong. Although it got off to a pretty good start, being voted "World's Leading New Airline" in 2007, it became a victim of its early unbelievably low fares (75 GBP one way Gatwick-Hong Kong).

More follows..............

number one engine is retarded

I love it. I'll buy it.

when was this airline in service?

they said like 5 times they were doing a touch and go....

During your type rating and route checks to be "cleared onto the line", that is to be allowed to fly without instructors as a pilot on the companies routes, you must be fluent with the handling of the aircraft, so here they are doing touch and goes to become familiar with the 747-400's landing characteristics. The only problem with this is, is that at light loads the 744 can become a handful and is very different to a fully loaded jumbo, but the training is still very necessary.

I hope these guys found jobs after Oasis collapsed. Great video - thankyou.
