Full Power Short Takeoff - Empty Boeing 737-800

On a positioning flight (no passenger, only flight crew) with light windshear reported at 500ft from a traffic that departed ahead of us, we elected to take-off with full power (26,000 lbs of thrust on each engine).
We usually use a reduced power setting on take-off to preserve the engines' life, reduce the noise and fuel burn, and improve the controllability should an engine failure occur during the take-off roll. We rarely perform full power take-offs but a few circumstances mandate the use of the full 26K setting from the engines.
Take-off roll was around 700 meters (2300ft).

Come on man, you had an empty 737. Throw a couple barrel rolls and corkscrews in there

[@ilhamrafly7606]

Ryan M. if u're pilot, i bet all of your passanger died right after take off LoL 😂

[@ryanm.191]

Ilham Rafly im a private pilot with 150 hours under my belt. On every flight my passengers haven't survived past taxiing

[@kareemghandour3816]

LMFAO

[@rand0m0mg]

I usually don't get off the ground... because I have no airplane, and I'm not a pilot.

[@TNI141]

Im pretty sure you would have no airplane left by the time you were done

[@sklajban]

Awesome! Almost the same take off distance run as my PA28, lol :-)

[@the_bottomfragger]

Would've loved to be inside that plane, must feel amazing to get pressed in the seat with this acceleration.

[@henryjiang9664]

Just wait till you get a climb restriction from a A320 in front of you lmaoooooo

i wonder what speed it gets if its taking the whole runway

[@ernie3nell]

love how fast it rolled out and the way it jumped into the air, great stuff.

[@cfrhoar]

How excited were you when you found out circumstances mandated 26k takeoff in a empty plane?

[@G36Jeff]

Holy crap that went up fast. Took my first airplane ride last August. It was one of my worst fears. It was not bad at all. I actually kinda like it. It was the worst and best day of my life. After we landed all I wanted to do was hug the pilot and tell him good job. Airplanes just amaze me. HOW IN THE WORLD DO WE FLY. WE WERE NOT MENT TO FLY. amazing.

[@hoaxial2090]

Jeff well we don't fly haha. We just sit in a big can with wings and engines and strap in

[@Mikael_Partti]

Jeff yes but flying is polluting. No one needs to fly really. It is actually really dumb

[@joeschmo5988]

mikael partti flying is not "dumb" it is the fastest form of transportation, some people need to fly

[@Mikael_Partti]

Joe Schmo No one needs to fly if you think abouy lets say 19th century. How did they live then? It is also the most polluting way of traveling. Get a train.

[@joeschmo5988]

You can't go across oceans in a train, and ships take days

[@logarithm0]

You can FEEL the power!

[@AaronShenghao]

[@ava1176]

It's Quality over Quantity.

[@pocketninjahun]

Hi! Why did you continue with full throttle? I think this kind of small windshear is a good thing to catch to say why you do full power mode without any big load. BTW I like your vid! :D :D

[@Diego38019]

My favorite aviation channel by far

[@RichardInSD]

Wow, wow, wow. I have hundreds of hours as a passenger. The only time I've ever thought the same thing, watching this video, is actually saying to myself "WTF" on a revenue flight after similar shockingly quick rotation on a 75 from ATL (derate clearly wasn't in the cards for them). That must have been a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing, Captain. Please share more.

[@teme82]

That is one insane take-off must been like rocket

[@ShortMovProduction57]

Very nice line up and amazing engine sound!

[@derekwall200]

did y'all hear about that southwest 737 that landed on the wrong runway which was only 3700 feet long by mistake. i saw the takeoff video and i must say you'd be asking a lot of a bird like that

[@airsim]

Very nice!

[@Theokondak]

One of the best take offs i ever experienced as passenger, was from the airport of Heraklion in Crete. It's the best accelaration i ever felt as a passenger, and right when you take off you pass really low over the city. Our pilot did a sharp turn right just over the city's harbour. I wonder if it's safe.

[@АбракадабраКобра259]

80... V1... Rotate! 3k fpm ... this is amazing man

[@mariuskerimo674]

Honestly, out of all the youtubers out there, you are truly my favorite!!! Ever since I was 3 years old I wanted to become a pilot, and now I'm 15 and I'm sticking with the dream of being a pilot. Sometimes school isn't great, but then I watch your videos and it gives me motivation to keep on studying because one day this will be me. Thank you so much!!!

[@RennieAsh]

So, how'd it go?

[@ottavva]

737 ma favorite airctaft ... take-off only 25 secs after breaks.off ... wonder if anyone remembers its original nickname CITY JET

[@aviadvanooijen2792]

What a powerhouse when it's unleashed 💪🏼💪🏼✈️✈️

[@Jan.mp3]

what was V1 and VR ??

[@chemsxeddine]

Good question, hope he will answer !

[@m.k.k.z.l]

With TOW about 47000KGS and ISA conditions (with no wind) using FLAPS 1 are V1 and Vr about 125kts. Some companies don't have allowed to use FLAPS 1 for take-off. Using FLAPS 5 will reduce speeds for about 5kts. These calculations are based on 22K derate and 60C assumed temperature.

[@firstofficerchris1321]

MC Jan check out "Captain Joe". He explains things really well

[@Jan.mp3]

First officer Chris i follow Joe on Instagram and YT.. Its a rly nice AirBerlin pilot 😉

[@Kaipeternicolas]

V1 was 300 feet. ;)

How is it that take if has such little room work you could literally take off from an aircraft carrier

[@trabbin8]

@Live, curious ...when you say 'full power' do you mean literally the turbines were at max max? "Floored" in carspeak? Ive no reason to doubt you at all, I'm truly just curious if that was 100% all shes got power (I always feel like pilots have a few percent up their sleeve if needed for some reason). Thanks love your videos!

[@FTM63FTM]

TommyT yes TO/GA

[@whiplash7400]

TommyT It was regular TOGA power, but for VERY short runways with heavy loads you can run the engines to a 27K bump, compared to the 26K toga in this video, but this is not used in normal operations.

[@trabbin8]

Thanks Sean for the enlightenment, much appreciated! Speaking of 'TOGA' power are you perhaps game for another question I've got clinking around my noggin'?

[@whiplash7400]

TommyT Yes, of course!

[@trabbin8]

Awesome, thanks! Okay my question relates generally to the windshear accident of Eastern Flight 66 at JFK. The first link below is a synopsis of the incident particulars. My specific question however relates to Eastern Flight 902 which was ~3 a/c in front of Flight 66...and which was also 'caught up' in the windshear event but (just barely) pulled out of it/went around (it was an L-1011). Another article (link #2 below) describes Flight 902's situation in detail. My question is this: Flight 902 'TOGAd' & went around...and evidently there was 'severe engine damage' and the pilot came under scrutiny (described in article). Can you opine how (or why) there would be engine damage from 'TOGA power' go around (it mentions excessive heat, my question is why TOGA power (used now and then on a/c) would damage the engines - if that makes sense). My hunch is there are some details or nuances not mentioned &/or which I am ignorant of - in that 'maneuver' that day that lead to damage (excessive heat)...I'm wondering why that may have happened? *Here are the two links* ... lessonslearned.faa.gov/ll_main.cfm?TabID=1&LLID=67&LLTypeID=2 www.nycaviation.com/2014/10/disaster-wasnt-saving-eastern-air-lines-flight-902/36254

that 737 didn’t even pass the touchdown zone! nuts

[@MishutkAviation]

Thrust se80 knoV 1RotatPositive rate

[@SilasVieten]

How fast was this takeoff😂😂

[@kielerjim]

I knew flying those things was overrated.

[@m.k.k.z.l]

Are you sure that reduced thrust really has positive impact to fuel consumption? If you compare TO and CLB with reduced and full power.

[@golfcharlie232]

Derated thrust take-off reduces the fuel burn, but reduced climb power increases the fuel burn (as you will reach the cruise later).

[@kobek4159]

Who was the Airbus fan that gave this a thumbs down?

[@moelester5274]

Looks like you couldn't wait to leave that joint.

[@firstofficerchris1321]

If it was empty, how come you went full power?

[@AeroWilly974]

magnifique take off ! 😀

[@PilotsLife737]

Always great fun to ferry an airplane :-D Did ferry one B747 out of STN, max de rate and still climb like a rocket 🚀 unfortunately, still no 747 videos :-(

[@ayayronn]

they probably hit V1 at like 1000ft LOL

[@eap1237]

you actually take off in 13 seconds

[@Levikj]

How many pounds of fuel

[@michaelinsalaco6689]

Is it a 737 mAX 8 OR MAX 9 WITH THE WINGLETS OR WITHOUT OLDER MODELS DO NOT HAVE THEM UNLESS THEY WERE ADDED AT A LATER DATE?

[@therublixcube3052]

It's a 737-800 with CFM engines

[@mlkjml]

holy shit that was quick

[@CaptShami]

Beautiful engine sounds

[@lawdawg1942]

Aaaaand yank the throttles back so you don't break 250 below FL10. That being said with no load you probably could be over FL10 in a few minutes if ATC let you.

[@NIAPRA]

V2 is the speed at which the aircraft may safely be climbed with one engine inoperative. This speed is nicknamed a “take-off safety speed”; it is the speed an aircraft with one engine inoperative must be able to attain in order to leave the runway and get 35 feet off the ground at the end of the runway, maintaining a 200 ft/min climb thereafter. This is the lowest speed at which the aircraft complies with the handling criteria associated with a climb after a take-off, followed by the failure of an engine.

[@NIAPRA]

V1 is defined as the speed beyond which the take-off should no longer be aborted. Meaning that in case you experience any trouble with your plane before reaching V1 you would immediately abort your take-off and would apply all the necessary means to bring the aircraft to a halt. If pilots experience any serious aircraft malfunction after V1, otherwise they have to continue the take-off, a take-off board will lead to a runway overrun and could severely damage the plane.

[@MADd_MAKXS_YT]

That acceleration was intense

[@aleccohen3040]

DAMN SHE CLIMBS

[@barrymccaulkiner7092]

How it feels to chew 5 gum.

[@LostPilotage]

I do a lot of ferry flying in Classics -300 and -400. The -400 in VIP configuration can be sporty, the -300 is always is empty.

[@asokoniso]

That was about 1600 feet of runway used. Pretty much what a 40 year old Seminole would require.

[@RKBA300WM]

Wow! she wanted to fly...

[@dio1474]

You could take off from lukla😂

[@NIAPRA]

Vr or Rotate is defined as the speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to make the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it leaves the ground. The easiest way to memorize the rotate speed is the point where the nose leaves the ground and vortexes are created at the wing tips which rotate behind the aircraft. Moreover, the point where the main gear leaves the ground is the point where the aircraft has reached the Vlof - lift off speed.

[@TheRokko66]

I love the Boeing 737NG

[@DnD_Robb404]

no that’s not full power

Aaaaw, that's so cute! I a 757 freighter with RR engines and when we're empty, that rwy better not be contaminated because we'd rip a hole through the sky.
