How short of a runway for a fueled 777 to takeoff with no passengers or luggage?
I am not a pilot ,but since they want an 8,000 ft or longer runway to take off with fuel and passengers I would think a lightened 777 could take of in 5500 feet.
You don't have to worry about passenger comfort. I believe passenger comfort and safety is why runways are so long. You don't want to terrorize the flying public on landings and takeoff on short runways.
There must be some Freeper commercial pilots or airport people who can better answer the Question. - Tom
When I take off in Atlanta on a 777 we always take off on the first south runway and I think it’s 11,000 feet long. Seems like we only ever need a little over half that though. When returning we land on whatever runway available and it doesn’t seem like it takes any longer to stop than any other plane.
