SNOWY Takeoff + De-Icing - United Airlines 737 MAX-8 - PWM-EWR - N17337

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Back in my day at PWM, we used to de-ice in open-bucket deicing rigs. What a joy that was on a snow day with heavy wind.

[@Weworkin2012]

Trucks 7 and 8 lol there still there

[@michaelmurray11189]

Brrrrrr! 🥶

[@salvatoreemma]

Back in your day? Last name Wright by any chance?

[@manifestgtr]

Love PWM…I took my checkride there and actually followed a pair of 737s in for the last landing I needed to demonstrate. The controllers there are superrr accommodating, too. It’s just a good community of folks all around.

[@AllenPortman]

It has to be a God sent miracle for technicians operating in modern day de-icing technology compared to open cab sub-freezing wet cold winding blowing snow in your face!!! Great video!

[@johnleach2484]

Cool!

[@kymkym6875]

Love watching these planes subscribed to your channel thanks for the video

[@Dvy383]

Thanks for the video! A long long time ago I worked at PWM. The days of elderly B727s from People Express, new crazy overpowered B757s that were 1000 ft AGL seconds after departure roll, Samantha Smith, and an airline pilot falling out of the cabin door at altitude (and surviving). ...

[@listenwatch1233]

I loved working those old PE 727s ...was tough sometimes but had a lot of fun back then too

[@DanielTrue16]

Love PWM! My go to airport when I visit family in Maine! Expensive to fly in/out of but worth it. Saves me about 3 hours versus Boston.

[@kymkym6875]

It is interesting to watch how they get the snow of theplanes

[@Captain_mickey-Mouse]

Hey flap im just saving this so i can show people

[@ruskieguy969]

Dude, I live in the Portland, maine area and I just gotta say I am pretty sure you got my friend voice doing the boarding announcements just before you boarded your plane. They work for American in the airport as a gate agent. 😊

[@flapsnslats]

Right at 20 seconds? That was the United gate, AA is the other end of the terminal. But I'll get em on my next AA PWM flight :)

[@frontcentermusician]

Amazing how there is a raging fire inside that engine cover and yet snow sits on top.

[@davidlanpher4874]

😂

[@michaelmurray11189]

That raging fire is well contained though. Controlled chaos if you will.

[@RyanRoberts15]

I counted 14 "uhh"s in that pilot's announcement about the anti ice duct caution light. How hard is it to think about what youre going to say before you hit the button?

[@zerberus500]

Cool!😎👍

[@michaelmurray11189]

Literally!

[@petros7929]

What was the date?

[@johnazz5583]

We just got our first decent snow in the area at the end of last week so I’m guessing Dec 5 or 6

[@flapsnslats]

Thanks for watching! Make sure to hit that subscribe button for more aviation :)

[@Subie-Driver]

Should it be de icing and snowy take off…the order in which the process happens?

[@ross4329]

I know you work with b6....no lies wtf. .🎉🎉🎉🎉 tell me what you tell them so you get the treatment..

[@brucehobbs1734]

Seats are so uncomfortable on the United Boeings.

[@logangreger7620]

Pilots always have to have to put a post-it note on the MAX in the winter. CAUTION! DO NOT USE THE DE-ICER FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. THE ENGINE WILL *EXPLODE!!* ☠!!!" 🤦 Geez. I'm so tired of hearing about "quality escapes". Boeing lost its way...☠

[@iflyplanes687]

As someone who flies the Max, you are overdramatizing this limitation. The 5 minute limitation you speak of is only for operation in DRY air and in very specific environmental conditions that you’d never be using anti ice anyways. When flying in conditions like you see in this video, since the air is NOT dry and ground contamination exists, there is no limitation and is on continuously.

[@deuce9star]

Additionally, Boeing does not make the engines for the 737Max. They are powered by CFM LEAP 1B engines so blame the manufacture of the engines and stop blaming Boeing for everything.
