In June 2017, a heat wave grounded more than 40 airline [flights of small aircraft, with American Airlines reducing sales on certain flights to prevent the vehicles from being over the maximum weight permitted for
safe takeoff.
Last year, hundreds of flights were canceled because planes can not take off in weather above a certain temperature because hot air is too thin to support
a safe takeoff.
A runway might not be long enough to allow a plane to achieve the necessary extra speed for
a safe takeoff.
Not exact matches
Now I had planned on nursing him for
takeoff and landing, but was notified by the flight attendant that he would be
safest in his seat, and if he was to be in my lap, regulations suggest I should hold him to my shoulder so I couldn't feed him anyway.
(I smell a future piece on this — if babies should be sucking during
takeoff & landing but you're not supposed to hold them that way, is a pacifier the only or
safest option?
Never mind the general public... Some examples: 1) the passenger in front of us on our first flight, whom when my daughter was crying while we waited to take off and I said something aloud such as «I'll nurse her once we take off and then she'll be quiet», had to tell everyone around us that she was a nurse and that I was essentially a bad mom to not nurse my baby during
takeoff (sorry lady, but the reason I bought her a seat was for her to be in her car seat during
takeoff as it's much
safer than in my arms nursing).
When on the plane, I can easily strap on the Boba and tuck him in to sleep for
takeoff and landing so he's
safe and secure in my lap.
Note that this also makes air travel far
safer because the slower the cruising speed, the better the match between cruising speed and
takeoff / landing speeds.
