Yeah, I was meaning not this particular airport. Some other airports have both A380s and Cessnas.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing! :)
Youâd be surprised how fast a 380 can stop⌠The length isnât the main problem here, strength and possibly width are.
Obviously a difference between actual necessary runway and official- they need to compensate for all reverses, partial brakes, and spoiler and still be able to stop from the end of the TDZ. And of course you need to be able to stop after an engine failure at a reasonable speed
Published landing distance is very often longer than actual landing distance, as they are determined without the use of thrust reversers (if I remember good).
I donât remember the exact figure but at MLW, a 380 requires roughly 2000m to stop safely.

Really cool pics. I also think Iâm gona go broke trying to get my ppl
You guys should really search for financial help if you canât afford a PPL on your own. Thatâs what I did!
Nice pictures!
When I first saw the topic I thought someone ate a rock:-/
Thanksz Appriciate it
Thanks it was a fun flight
Flagging has nothing too do with my post. Runways are too short⌠the width and structure of the runways and taxiways are not meant for the much weight. And also donât have anywhere too park them as were just a regional airport with 12 small gates. So yes we canât handle the a380

I definitely wasnât questioning the fact that your airport canât handle an A380⌠I was only stating that runway length isnât the main problem here.
Oh. Okay, probably when most airports can handle it with an 8200 foot runway ours canât
