777 Cockpit view of take-off from Mumbai

IOWNA11 Says:

Feb 10, 2011 - i have a question.. whats with the whole thing in almost all the videos i see about take offs.. they will get clearance from the tower.. and they only half power for like 10 seconds and then they full power it for the rest of take-off? what is that?

Feb 10, 2011 - Hello. I asked my captain today and he gave the following explanation. "When the engines are taken from idle they sometimes take different lengths of time to spool up. Without doing it gradually and especially in wet weather, the aircraft would veer off the runway and could potentially crash. Hence the spooling up slowly to let both engines get to the same amount of thrust together, then pushed to take off power". Hope this helps

Feb 19, 2011 - just before they roll to take off..the voice says "V1" what does that mean?

Mar 29, 2011 - Hey Dude Nice Video But I have a doubt...When On Landing Pilot Switches the engine as reverse thurst! Wat happens exactly there? does the fan of engine starts rotating anti-clockwise? or just they do to block the air?

May 23, 2011 - @IOWNA11 i am a commercial pilot the reason we wait about 10 seconds is because we have to wait for the engines to power up and to also make sure the runway is clear.......but im only a first officer so i dont make the decisions....other pilots may tell tell you other stories but thats what i been taught if you want want any other info on planes please email me on mattmotley@bigpond.com

Jun 30, 2011 - V1 is the critical engine failure recognition speed or takeoff decision speed. It is the decision speed nominated by the pilot which satisfies all safety rules, and above which the takeoff will continue even if an engine fails.[9] The speed will vary between aircraft types and also due to aircraft weight, runway length, wing flap setting, engine thrust used, runway surface contamination and other factors. google- v speeds.

Aug 18, 2011 - or you can just said that engines need to calibrate trust power

Aug 31, 2011 - This is BA ... Can't be Air India or Jet Airways because both the pilots are expats.

Nov 9, 2011 - what airline is this?

EinkOLED Says:

Nov 12, 2011 - Another reason other the allowing both engines to spool together is that TOGA can only be pressed when the thrust levers are advanced forwards.Once the thrust levers are advanced forwards and TOGA pressed, the autothrust takes over and advances the thrust levers forward automatically to takeoff thrust.Take off thrust is a value computed in the FMC which gives a precise climb thrust value (N1 percentage)

Oldladysgin Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - Take off power on a modern airliner is about 50 to 60 percent of full power, not full power.

TheObk757 Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - Max derate allowed is 25%. Therefore minimum amount of power used is 75%, not "50 to 60".

mickeymousingaround Says:

Mar 15, 2012 - I think you are talking about "Auto-Throttle". TOGA means "Take Off / Go Around"

TheMightyHartley Says:

Mar 22, 2012 - Yes.

atharva98 Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - Sorry but every aircraft needs a min. power of 85 % thrust.

atharva98 Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - Yes ur right. Engines are to be spooled up before take off especially from a wet runway.

hammoudy1300 Says:

May 19, 2012 - yes that's also calling the engines to "stabilize" before T/O
