Hi i am not a pilot but am flying to Dubai next week on a 777 and
understand the temp there may reach mid 40 s c, are there any dangers to
engines or landing procedures at these temps, also desert conditions regards
Frank


Hi Frank

I lived there over 10 years, flew on commercial at least twice per week
and never crashed once (one engine fire between Gizan & Jeddah -
Christmas Eve 1979 - landed & ecavuated). Out there the temps won't
getcha - the sandstorms will getcha - assume that if you can see you're
OK

Ma Sallama,

Tony
