Just so you don't have to go to page one.

Now guys, chill out. This is friggin hillarious. "We have turned at the outer marker and are ready for takeoff!" I'm falling out of my chair. That's a long way to taxi out for takeoff, and would be quite bumpy.

"I am completely aware of all aircraft systems at any given second of the flight. In fact, I know more than the pilots do" then "uhh.....something happened. Probably a bird alert"

Yeah, I feel like, had I been sitting next to him, my elbow might have been accidentally jammed in his nose, but not due to my own emotional distress at the RTO, but just to make the world a better place.

I think I've been a passenger on 2 RTOs, (seems like 3 but can't remember the third). I'm an airline employee, and I remember distinctly my emotional distress at the RTO. It was "oh sh*t, this is the last flight that had any seats on it...I"m about to be stranded here!"

Which means he probably killed himself after everyone at a.net ripped on him.

ISA day.....!

Okay, using the full length of Sydney's Runway 16R (3962m/12999ft) at 185,000kg on an ISA day the figures work out to:
V1 = 151
VR = 168
V2 = 173
+40 = 215
+80 = 255 (Clean speed)
Thr = 106.5% N1
All for a Boeing 767-338(ER) with CF6-80C2B6F PMC engines.

Hey AJ, Thanks for the numbers, it really gives us an idea about the GE-CF6 powered B763ER, btw what's an ISA day stand for ??

Interesting live video, excellent seizure of P/As including this steward's delightful Quebecan accent pretty informative on Kansai's layout. Good to see this ended well for you.

Cool! Looking forward to it AJ.

Thanks Phil!

The speeds are never the same John. It's all dependent on the weight of the aircraft for that particular takeoff. It can probably vary from around 120-160 knots, but I don't know. Where's AJ?

We'll be doing a close to max weight takeoff from Sydney bound for Hong Kong today, I'll jot down the figures!

Well, I am not AJ, but I am Phil and I fly 737s... not exactly the same aircraft type as in the video...
I watched all 12 minutes of this video and I was about to switch off my speakers... This guy is so annoying... Jesus...
Anyway... The take off speeds vary a lot! Every take off has different speeds, because of different weight, temperature, air pressure, wind, runway length, terrain, 2nd segment climb limits...
Considering all those facts you get proper speeds for your take off! You can abort the take off until V1, afterwards you have to get airborne... and hopefully land safely again!
The speeds on our 737 vary somewhere between 110 (lowest V1) like on ice runways or snow... and the highest V1 I have ever experienced was 166 in Frankfurt taking off runway 18! This is freaking fast for our small 737! It was basically a standard day and we were fully loaded, maximum take off weight. FLaps 1° take off! V1: 166, Vr 167 and V2 171...

I hope that helped a bit...
