TakeOff St Maarten from Cockpit 747




Title:
TakeOff St Maarten from Cockpit 747

Description:
TakeOff from St. Maarten as seen from cockpit 747. To answer some remarks from viewers: Why is T/O so fast and short? Well aircraft weighs only 260.000 kgs (max = 396.000kgs) in this T/O with only 30.000 kgs of fuel for a flight time of 1hr15min to Curacao (you can see the landing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5ZLUP1Aroc ). With this low weight Vr is 125kts and climbout speed is 155kts(=V2 + 10kts) Why is V1 and Vr called so close? Because, when a/c is very light you have to increase V1 to the Vmcg(=Vmin control ground)speed. If you don't and start flying below this speed and an outboard engine fails, you are not able to control a/c. That's why in this T/O V1 is the same as Vr. Yes, it's a 747. No, it's not fake.

Landing at Curacao Hato airport as seen from cockpit B747-400. Watch the shadow of the plane growing larger! For all those wandering why we landed before displaced threshold: The displaced threshold at this airport is necessary to clear the visable ridges on a IMC approach(that is when in clouds) at the legal altitudes . But when you are VFR(that is when you are visual with the runway), there is no objection, once you are clear of the last ridge to steepen your approach a little bit and land ...
