When your aircraft doesn't rotate(start climbing) at the rotate speed, then there's a pretty good chance you are a bit too heavy alluding to a little oversight in takeoff calculations. Good quick correctional input by pilots however to reduce the angle of attack momentarily to build up speed and then climb out 👍🏻

[@soupfork2105]

Nah, he was just doing a job interview for AeroSucre

[@michaelchenal5288]

Airbus shall be protected against tail strike. However, the elevator was first applied fully up. That's can stop gaining speed.

[@enfantterrible4868]

He didnt lower the nose because he was too slow, i think he just overrotated with the stick and corrected his position quickly. I also don't think he was too slow at all, the Title of the video is pretty stupid

[@nexus1g]

Those are interesting flares. Usually, they're lighting up right out of the chute. What's the design concept behind these?

[@davidwood2205]

These are photo flares or recce flares. They provide light for reconnaissance aircraft to photograph a target area at night.

[@Donari]

"photo-flash flares, normally used for illuminating the ground to help aircraft gather reconnaissance imagery."

[@FlyLeah]

so its not chaff?

[@dr_jaymz]

They were more like depth charges.

[@NegativeROG]

@@FlyLeah Chaff and flares are completely different things. Flares are designed to provide an alternate hot-spot in a thermal seeker head. Chaff is meant to confuse seekers with an alternate "surface" for radar to bounce off of.

The single seat Rafale - that’s what military flying is about, if you’ve got it - flaunt it😁

[@MR-ub6sq]

0.45 "The early rotation might be a result of an erroneous takeoff calculation performed by the flight crew" As a more likely explanation, instead of a calculation error, I would think that Iberia encountered vortices that have been left on the runway crossing at that point from a large aircraft that used it a moment before. But the runways at London Heathrow are all in the same direction, so there is no cross traffic effect. However, it is possible that the Iberia took off too soon after the plane ahead of them, causing its eddies to lift the Iberia into the air. This is quite a dangerous possibility.

[@timshepherd7404]

I was considering the same thing, similar to that RAM B737 from a few years ago. I'm only a short-way into my ATPLs but I see that as a real possibility, especially given the high traffic density at LHR. Tho could quite easily be an early rotation too.

[@kevindigo22]

Yes, I too am skeptical of the erroneous takeoff calculation theory, they would have had to make a big error in one of the calc inputs since we are only talking maybe one second difference in reaching Vr. More likely the PF had too much coffee before takeoff, was a little over anxious and twitchy, and jumped the gun on the side stick. My rule is count to two after Vr and then ease back on the yoke/stick (when there is plenty of runway). Pulling back too quick doesn't get you to your destination any sooner haha. But I only fly on FSX, so what do I know hahaha.

[@bailzzzzzz]

seems crazy to see an a340 too, considering how ice and runway conditions are often hazardous factors in most airports

[@sampathn4429]

wow!

[@valicourt]

Not sure but this could also be an initial over rotation where the pilot rotates to quickly initially and than slows it down. Happens sometimes with people who are new on type. Might even have been a training flight

[@brendanconnolly6129]

I beieve it is a training flight as they use the A350 once a day from Madrid to LHR to gain hoursfor type certification

[@Ralph2]

Those flares were pretty cool. I haven't seen that type before....

[@paullinkins8121]

I would have identified the Rafale as a Saab 37 Viggen if it wasn't pointed out. They are surprisingly similar.

[@patolt1628]

More or less if you mean the Saab 39 Gripen (although the Rafale is bigger and twin-engine) but it doesn't look like a Viggen at all ... My opinion

[@kinka16]

i was here when the rafale pulled that turn !! roanne is minutes away from my place !

[@MALUR82]

The SU22 was amazing

[@markmark5269]

The A350 looked like it had a rearward load issue. Recently in Australia a similar but opposite thing happened with a school trip when the rear of the plane was rearward-light with about 100 kids sitting up back and the nose lifted too slow taking the pilots by surprise.

I saw the vid headline and immediately thought: AeroSucre or Iberia…and AeroSucre doesn’t have any A350s 😂😂😂😂

[@Mr2greys]

Fail: be unsuccessful in achieving one's goal. He did take off, albeit late. The only failure here is an accurate title for the video

[@ronteplitz3678]

No, it did not fail to take off.

[@Sphynx25]

Again, these are no flares from the SU-22 - a flare is designed to distract the IR-Missile from the engine. It ignites directly after dropped from the aircraft to produce a lot of heat for a couple of seconds so the IR-seeker aims for the flare instead of the engine. A flare exploding 20m below the aircraft makes exactly zero sense.

[@heresjohnny999]

[@mweb1]

I like four engines where it's an ice cold runway.

[@ekbusdriver]

FO mistook “v1” for “rotate” or some type of wrong data input. You could see that elevator with way too much deflection for a normal takeoff.

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

Kind of crazy to leave Antarctica in probably something around -50° and land in South Africa, which was probably 30-40°. I wonder how the body reacts to that. It's different to coming home from a very cold day and switching the heating on because the body is expecting temperatures to drop again. I forget the science behind it.
