Can a Commercial Airplane Takeoff During Landing in Casino Royale?

My bad.

I should have heard the full story from the horse's mouth before speaking out.

He veered off all right, but never rolled past 90.

That in itself is a scary thing when you are already lined up and in a configuration to land. He's lucky he had some kind of speed still available to do that.

Yes. The other guy was in line behind him for landing, but as he turned for final approach, the guy turned sharper, cutting him off and ending up in front of him.

He almost punched the guy out.

Are you talking about a touch-and-go landing? 15 - 20 seconds sounds about right for the flaps, but the speed brakes are much faster. Touch-and-go landings are normal procedures, so I'm sure there's one for the 747. But an aborted landing after touch down would be a different situation because the braking, speed brakes and wheel brakes, come on automatically when the wheels touch the runway. I guess it would depend on how soon you discover you have to get back in the air, how much runway you have left, and how heavy you are. I'll give it a try the next time I'm playing with flight sim.

I lost track of this thread until today. How did the simulator go? (come to think about it, as a Continental flick maybe it should be tested in an Airbus.)

Anyone? What model jet executed the aborted landing in the Casino Royale?

I was successful with the aborted landing simulation on the 747. It took almost all of the short 5800 foot runway. I could probably do better if I practiced. I ran it with a full payload and 50% fuel in the wing tanks. I waited until the nose gear touched down before I started the abort. By that time the wheel brakes were engaged and the speed breaks were deployed. I then went to full throttle, disengaged the wheel breaks, retracted the speed breaks, and pulled the flaps up to 10. Once I went to full throttle it didn't take long at all to get back in the air.

It's Boeing 747..
