Air Canada aborted takeoff video

[ptbodale]

Good afternoon guys.

1st Air Canada makes all announcements in its acft in at least French and English as we are mandated by the Air Canada Act. Other airlines in Canada are not obligated to make their announcements in both languages, however most do.

2nd - Fin 684, AC036 rejected take-off at 155 knots as the flight crew received an Eicas message advising them of "gear failure". They elected to abort the take-off. Four tires were blown during the stop. The acft was never in any danger. The inspection found that a "gear seal' had failed.

Anything else other than we need to lynch the ass on the video?

Are commercial planes wheels filled with air or nitrogen?

I know that Boeing 737's wheels are filled with Nitrogen. Don't know about other.

I believe nitrogen, but I'm not 100% sure

What a f*cker....what a waste of time for watching a movei and a waste of seat on that flight...

^^A jackass that sure knew what he was talking about. After all he is a certified pilot..And he knew what was going on in the cockpit at any given time during a take off. lol.

Tell me about it. He claimed that they had passed V1 and were 5 seconds from VR when the takeoff was aborted. As we all know though, they hadn't even reached V1, nevermind VR

Hmm, I wouldn't be offering the tape to the captain when you strictly shouldn't be using electrical products during take-off

20 bucks says he's an A.netter.

Well, actually he is. I saw a post of his video on a.net but he was getting abused by the members so he removed the video, fortuently he didn't take it off the net

Oh my god! That was amazing! They came so close to death! Really! The plane must have had only HALF the runway left! Good thing they were able to stop it in just 5 or 6 seconds, thanks to flaps being fully extended in a split second(we in the buisness call this a speedbrake). That guy must not have thought he was on the brink of death when they turned onto the outermarker. Everyone on the aircraft was almost KILLED when that Asiana 763 came screaming across the runway. Despite the pilots losing site of it, its a good thing they reacted in time. Heroes.

What are the chances that we would have such an educated aviation expert, who knows what is going on in the cockpit at any one moment in flight, and having him videotape it and provide commentary. He did a lot of work. For him to find out the V1 Vr and V2 speeds, he had to go and find out the length of the runway, and calculate the weight on board, and to make the situation even more difficult, the man had no airspeed indicator, meaning he had to use his own good judgement to call out the speeds!

AMAZING!

He could have tried to spell Asiana correctly!!

I found this in Google County, Internetropolis:

Tokyo, Sept. 12 (AP): An Air Canada flight bound for Vancouver aborted takeoff today from a west Japan airport after pilots slammed on the brakes due to a warning signal indicating trouble with the plane, officials and a news report said.

The Boeing 767 was about to take off from a runway at Osaka's Kansai International Airport when a warning signal indicated trouble with the vessel's landing gear, prompting pilots to bring the plane to a halt and abort takeoff, according to Kyodo News agency.

Air escaped from the plane's four right wheels from the impact of the brakes, but there were no injuries, Kyodo said.

Airport official Akiko Jintei partly confirmed the incident, saying the vessel headed to an airport runway at 3:40 pm (1210 IST) but told airport control about 40 minutes later it would abort takeoff for further maintenance.

Yo Dale, do you happen to know the actual reason for this abort?

[Star Alliance]

So have I.
