CHIEF INSTRUCTOR BRIEFING & OPERATIONAL NOTES

The 757 produces significant wake turbulence due to its heavy wing loading. Air traffic controllers classify it in a special "Heavy" or separate category behind larger airliners. On landing, its tall main gear struts cushion the touchdown beautifully.

AIRCRAFT TRIVIA & HIGHLIGHTS
1FACT #1

The 757 is nicknamed "The Hot Rod" and "The Flying Pencil" by pilots due to its sleek fuselage and absurdly powerful engines.

2FACT #2

It can operate out of demanding high-altitude, short-runway airports surrounded by mountains (such as Vail, Eagle, and Cusco, Peru) where other jets cannot land.

3FACT #3

Pilots have a common type rating for both the 757 and the widebody 767, meaning an airline captain can fly a 757 in the morning and a 767 in the evening!
