Near Miss at DIA today
Airbus A-319 comes to within 50 feet of a Metroliner (Metroliner was on
the runway and the Airbus was landing) http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4957824 Question, what is the spin up time on a large airliner like that doing a go around? I know it takes a bit for the engines to spin up and develop take-off power. I know the weather out here this morning wasn't so hot with all the snow blowing around. -- Louis Perley N370 |

My big iron experience is limited to the 737 simulator some time ago, but as
I recall, the SOP was to bring the power up to a predetermined setting while on short final, unlike a piston plane in which power is reduced as you near the surface. The idea, of course, was to shorten the spin-up time you mention. Bob Gardner "Louis L. Perley III" wrote in message ps.com...

The idea, of course, was to shorten the spin-up time you mention. My big iron experience is even more limited, to the seats in back except for a few minutes in a sim long ago, but the pilots on every flight that I recall riding on have increased power on short final. I presumed that reduced spool-up time was a lot of the reason. The physics of the situation, and my experience in basic trainers, suggests that the closest proximity should occur some time after the command for full power--and quite possibly after the spool-up is complete and the paths are already diverging. |

Spool up time on the JT8D (727, 737, etc) is 8 seconds or less from some
minimum EPR to some maximum EPR but quite frankly I had those numbers memorized from forty years ago. Jim "Bob Gardner" wrote in message . .. My big iron experience is limited to the 737 simulator |

The A-319 has either CFM-56s or IAE2500s, both of which go from idle to max power in 3 seconds, and less time from flight idle. During a routine go-around, approach thrust to MCT, power is available with little discernable lag. D. |
