  • Air Canada aborted takeoff video

    Hello,

    Just been looking on Google videos and came across this. Quite intresting, luckily the pilot did a great job getting her to stop. Please note the guy who filmed it is a complete retard, im sure you'll see why near the end.

    The guy who made the video is a melodramatic moron.

          ^ God yes. He narrated the whole thing in 'overhype' mode.

          And isn't V2 the point of no return?

            V1 is point of no return, VR is rotate, V2 is safe-climbout speed.

              And he was able to know what V1 was?
              And I love the "Turn at the outer marker" while taxing onto the runway. Dipsh*t. I hate aviation because it attracts so many morons.

                Oh man the way he is talking all slow, and thinks he knows everything makes me want to freak out. I hate people that are like that.

                  There is no possible way to judge V1 speed from a passengers seat. If that aircraft had of reached V1, it would not be able to abort the take off. V1 means you cannot abort the take-off, you can abort it up to V1. This guy is really really dumb. Once the F/O or Captain (who ever has control) says "V1" you take your hands off the throttles. I can safely say, this plane didnt reach V1, but possibly came close to it.

                  I want to punch him in the face too "this is very, very bad" "somehting happend" "this is bad"...

                    The best part is at the end when he wrote about the note he gave to the captain and offered the video...

                    I'm surprised he hasn't yet tried to file a lawsuit against AC for "emotional distress" after his terrifying/life changing experience

                      That guy sounds really pessimistic about the aborted takeoff. I'm not too sure if that guy is, well, I'm not really gonna say anything. I mean, I love aviation also, but people like him just make me want to slap him or something. I like to talk myself through the takeoff roll, but i keep it to myself. Gah, i just hate his tone of voice. That's what really gets me. Along with what he says and wrote on the video.


                      Geeze this guy is crazy. So if he said he'll never recover from the aborted takeoff, my question is why did he take the next flight out to YVR? Psycho, IMO.

                      This is just a sidenote, but do they have the announcements in both english and french on all AC flights?

                        Never noticed that. Possibly because of Quebec in Canda?

                            All the AC flights I have been on have had announcements in both.

                              Yes they do have to make announcements in both English and French. Its one of those things legally required of AC.
