June 16Jun 16 I have had the feeling now for a while that the plane's ground handling is off, especially on takeoff. What I mean by that is this: even when heavily loaded, the plane is very difficult to keep on the centerline when taking off and landing. It is as if there is not enough pressure being placed on the main gear and nosewheel, and so a feeling of being on ice skates develops very quickly. The A340/350 don’t have this problem. I really love the A300 and because of this, it’s not very enjoyable Edited June 16Jun 16 by saftpaket

40 minutes ago40 min I have always felt like the A300 has ice skates on. This issue goes back to 2020 as well. It's never felt like a heavy aircraft on the ground. I believe the A300 in its own right is a heavy aircraft.
