A very nice article except for a few things. It is written bad: I would say SE-REH IS leased. Care to explain WHY?? And it has errors: Wrong! July 05. (article was published 2 days ago) Wrong! LN-RKP arrived in Copenhagen on a revenue service this morning. That all

Artificial runway lengths avert long A340 take-off rolls 12 July, 2019 SOURCE: Flight Dashboard BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/artificial-runway-lengths-avert-long-a340-take-off-r-459634/ Air France and Lufthansa introduced artificial reductions of runway length at Bogota as a precautionary measure after incidents involving prolonged take-off runs by Airbus A340s. Interesting article. I've certainly sat in an A340-300 of Air Namibia to Frankfurt and remember it was an age before lifting off at a shallow angle. Expected wrt the heat but even so!

LN-RKP is scheduled to leave the fleet 15th or 16th of July Interesting finding: in the flightradar24 profile page, the airline of LN-RKP writes SAS (Bye Bye LN-RKP).

Interesting article. I've certainly sat in an A340-300 of Air Namibia to Frankfurt and remember it was an age before lifting off at a shallow angle. Expected wrt the heat but even so! The problem seems not to be the performance of the A340-200/300 per se, but erroneous calculations, assumptions and a not optimal training regime. Running up the engines while on brake, seems to me a no-brainer. It is also astonishing, that a new training regime on a 25 year old bird, reduces the takeoff distance, especially through better control of the rotation rate. I am rather astonished, that Airbus is not changing the program on the bird doing the calculation.
