A340 runway distance cut for Bogota

摘要

Air France and Lufthansa introduced artificial reductions of runway length at Bogota as a precautionary measure after incidents involving prolonged take-off runs by Airbus A340s. French investigators have disclosed the carriers' actions in an analysis of a serious departure incident from the Colombian capital in March 2017. The A340-300 started rotating at 142kt (263km/h) some 2,760m (9,050ft) from the threshold of runway 13R, which is 3,800m long.
