BOEING 747 vs. CESSNA Citation - GET OUT OF MY WAY (4K)

An EL AL Boeing 747-400 Freighter made a 180° turn on runway 22L at Liege Airport and just after he finished the turnaround a small Cessna Citation Jet took a shortcut and entered the runway right in front of the Boeing 747. The heavy Boeing had to wait until the belgian citation jet departed.
EL AL Cargo is a daily visitor at Liege which is their european home base. They only have a single Cargo plane and they operate to two destinations. New York JFK and Tel Aviv.
Thanks for watching, I hope you liked it.

[@devtrivedi4766]

This was probably a good move to save time by the ATC. The wake turbulence of the Cessna won't affect the huge 747 at all but if the 747 departed before the Cessna, the Cessna would have had to wait for a long time as the wake turbulence from the 747 would literally blow the Cessna away. This in turn would require a longer hold time for the Cessna, occupying the runway and holding other jets behind it as well.

[@deeanna8448]

@@homerbalderas1393 you know how boats create waves and disturbance in the water behind them as they move through? Airplanes create the same disturbances in the air. Another plane following them can get tossed about or even flipped over. The 747 creates a very large wake and if that little Cessna took off right after a 747, it would be dangerous or even fatal. If you look up wake turbulence on you tube, there are examples of it.

The Citation did not "cut in front" of the 747 as some have alluded to. The 747 was cleared onto the runway with a "Line up and Wait" clearance, and given permission to back taxi to the end of the runway, reverse direction and get situated for takeoff. Tower took good advantage of the time and cleared the Citation for take off while the 747 was still getting into position. Even when turned around and on center line, it doesn't look like the 747 was 100% ready to roll because his landing lights didn't come on until 1:11 into the video. At most, it delayed the Boeing 30 seconds and kept traffic moving. Love the comments about avoiding the Citation's wake turbulence!

[@skbenergy]

this happens a lot on my island with big and small planes :) !!!

[@REFEREEMOUSE]

Great explanation for those who don’t understand...Pilots listening to traffic would have been aware that the citation was cleared for take off and on the active. Furthermore, the Tower would have taken an extra precaution to ensure the instructions to “WAIT” where read back correctly. Nice and efficient sequence by the Tower.

[@runarandersen878]

[@deltaromeo6772]

Very routine situation. The 747 wants to maximize runway length, the Citation not only requires less runway, but also wants to avoid the wake turbulence delay he will receive if the 747 goes first (in the US it would be a 2 minute delay if he leaves from the same point, in this case end of runway / 3 minute delay if he departs from that intersection after the 747 departs full length, I assume ICAO rules are close if not the same). The tower is in full control of the runway and who gets on it and where, so you can safely assume that everything you saw here was directed by the tower for max efficiency and safety. The ATC comms would have sounded something like this (using made-up callsigns since I don't know what they were using): TOWER: El Al 1200, Runway two-two, back taxi approved, line up and wait, full length. EL AL1200: El Al 1200, copy all, line up and wait two-two, full length. TOWER: Citation 12345, wind calm, runway two-two at bravo (or whatever taxiway that was), cleared for takeoff, traffic, heavy 747 departure position, runway two-two full length. CITATION12345: Citation 12345 is cleared for takeoff, two-two at bravo, traffic in sight. By US rules, the 747 could then be cleared for takeoff once the Citation is 6000 feet down the runway and airborne, as long as the 747 will not be able to bust the required 3 miles of radar separation once both aircraft are airborne.

Actually it is pretty certain ATC asked the Cessna to take off before the 747. If the Cessna takes off first, the 747 merely needs to wait until it takes off (a roll time of 30 seconds at most) but if the 747 takes off first then due to the different size categories the Cessna would have had to wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the wake turbulence to clear.

This action looks intentionally arranged by ATC. It's more safe depart small aircraft before heavy because wake turbulencies. In addition less than minute waiting is no problem against problematic separation after heavy departure. This way ATC is able to depart more airplanes in limited time from busy airport. 747 was cleared for TO in moment when Cessna gets positive climb, most effective manner to unload ground traffic.

I'm sure this order of takeoff would have been directed by ATC as the wake turbulence of the jumbo may well have caused problems for the much lighter Citation.

[@johnhaywood1253]

Absolutely. The tower controller is just doing his/her job minimising delay. The Citation is light but fast and can do an intersection departure (not full runway length). Let it go first and it hardly holds the 747 up. Let the 747 go first then you've got a wake turbulence issue - heavy ahead of light aircraft. Bigger gap needed, more overall delay.

I don't think this was a case of jumping the cue, I have been asked by ATC to go ahead of a larger aircraft in the past so as to avoid wake turbulence

[@simply_cake]

Biggles kiwidude I think you are lying about that also about the fact you had a Cessna with a jet engine in it

[@schawafelschwamm6586]

[@schawafelschwamm6586]

TheProGamer 1 That you can google that it is better to let smaller planes fly in front of bigger.

[@znuto]

The wake from the 747 would have been too dangerous for the little Cessna.

[@Chickennss]

Had a chance to fly a 747 both ways from Japan a few years back. Sat in the top part both ways facing back. Was a very cool experience.

[@philpreston3072]

Would've loved to have seen the angry 747 chase down the little Cessna for stealing his runway. That'd be fun

The cessna would take off without any effort (and suddenly and brutally "land" a short time after)

[@doctorlarry2273]

Nah - the 747 could not catch it - particularly when it turned!

[@ngeleyes33]

So cute the baby jet compare with the huge airplane 😱😍✈✈ amazing!!!

[@struspedzisraczka7853]

The diameter of the Cessna's hull is similar to the diameter of the Jumbo engine and the width of the Cessna as the width of the Jumbo fin :)

[@suzukirider9030]

Nah, B-747 main fan like diameter x2 the Citation's fuselage. Mechanics can stand on the bottom rim and not even reach the top of the fan with their hand, but an average 6' person can't stand fully upright in a citation.

[@kittibalogh1934]

that was a very clever decision from the tower controller. as the Cessna is a light aircraft, he should wait a longer time departing after a heavy 747. he departed from the intersection, not affected by the wake turbulence the 747 creates after takeoff. good time management!

Crj200 vs B747-8

[@flyer_452official9]

It's called, back tracking (if I'm correct)

[@haraldschurr1035]

I think the citation had been advised by the tower to do so. And the wake turbulence of the 747 is huge compared to that of the citation so the citation would have had to wait for several minutes after the 747's takeoff to go safely - while the 747 didn't have to wait for anything after the citation's takeoff.

[@anibald.a.miranda829]

Have you noticed that B747 turned on their full four wing lights just saying, come on who are you... get out of my way!!!! Lol

[@SB-kg2ik]

You tend to wish to do that on a runway active or not, a friend in a Boeing once had an opposite side aircraft and saw each other just thanks to their lights. FYI: he was cleared and aborted @ around 100kts GS. Still getting over it...

The thing is, when you see the two aircraft in the same frame you realize that even though the 747 is a s***ton bigger, the elements of design are identical. The bird flying by at around 1:20 was a nice touch (big, smaller, smallest ...)

[@Cissy2cute]

I noticed that too. So similar. I downloaded a shot. The bird was like a footnote, showing what has been the inspiration of mankind for untold ages.

[@lauralewis5726]

Identical enough to take down both of the twin towers on 9/11 - I'm glad that you mentioned the similarities - however, I once saw a show that had a man who had some crazy hours logged in and after SEVERAL attempts to hit those building and have them crash so perfectly when this man even said how different a the gauges and cockpit are pretty different from the small Cessna 4 seater 1 -72 these terrorists learn to fly - yet this man is accident free and spent WAY more time flying the Cessna on a flight simulator and couldn't even clip the building... Please, if you are able to take a moment to answer this monumental question. Thank you in Advance, Laura

This video was a great catch! So much to talk about with this slice of life at the airport. Doubtful the Citation crew would have actually missed seeing the 747 or simply said screw you, fatso, we're outta here. This was a tower-controlled event, for certain.

Is the Cessna was behind the GREAT 747 the it would have been the last flight of the Cessna

If it had waited the required 3 minutes, there wouldn't have been any problem. Far from being 'the last flight of the Cessna' at all.

[@dwightturner3070]

I used to work on the auto-pilot systems in the Cessna Citations and that jet can be airborne with only 200 yards of runway. That was because of its massive wing span. Lear jets, however, has stubby wings and it takes up almost the entire runway to get airborne.

[@sailorman8668]

'Takes up almost the entire runway'? That obviously depends on the length of the runway at any particular airport.

Hello dear RoBBlE

[@kenclark9888]

What a bogus title. The 747 taxied back and held in position and the Citation took off in front of it.

[@kenclark9888]

Abraham Dizon not necessarily. While a smart move by ATC a Citation could take off after just has to rotate before and be aware of the wind for wake avoidance

[@christersidelov8746]

That's not up to ATC to decide where the Citation "has to" or even can rotate! That's entirely up to the captain on the Citation and never ever to anyone else to decide! Abraham Dizon is correct! This is all about ATC being efficient and smart! ATC would not be able to release the Citation for two minutes after the 747, and the Cessna pilot can never "Waive the wake" after a "heavy" aircraft take off! So the only "smart move" by ATC in this case was exactly what he did, letting the small aircraft take off in front of the 747! Anything else would have been stupid to say the least!

Sometimes intentional, sometimes not. (Not every player can see every other player. It all depends on their settings.)

[@scudosmyth784]

I suspect the Cessna had permission to do that.

[@wildgurgs3614]

You'd be correct. ATC knew that they could sneak the Cessna onto the runway before the 74 had turned around, thus maximizing efficiency.
