which of the weather situations below are the easiest/ most difficult to arrive or depart out with a 777?

---

sorry, was away for a few hours

1. not really a factor

2. again, not a big deal, contaminated runway is the big deal for braking action, either aborted takeoff or for landing

3. the rules of engagement are always written in someone else's blood(i.e. PA 759, DL 191,) in addition to common sense we have pretty sophisticated on board weather detection/prediction electronics to help see/avoid weather

4. hot: and heavy is always a pucker factor issue on takeoff, more concrete required and dicey performance if there's a loss of thrust in critical phase

4a. cold: internal combustion engines love cold, condensed air molecules

The site reported that PIA “has opted to forgive and forget the incident that happened at Islamabad International Airport on November 15.”

Praise be to Allah!

With the stories you can find about that airline and it being one of the worst in the world, they did him a favor canceling.

Suppose a couple were to attempt to join the Mile High Club, in first class, and were caught in the bathroom... I know they can be in a lot of trouble, but would they really? Would the captain just roll his eyes and say "get back to your seat."
