Heathrow Rejected Takeoffs | HD | 7 Aborted Takeoffs | [Credit: Flight Focus 365]

[@EleanorPeterson]

I think it'd help people who aren't aviation geeks or who are nervous flyers if there was a bit more info in the subtitles about what's going on. Even if you don't have access to a full technical breakdown of each RTO, a brief description of what a Rejected Take Off actually is, plus a bit of speculation on the possible causes would stop people panicking and jumping to the wrong conclusions - namely that ALL of a certain type of plane ALWAYS has problems ALL of the time, or that certain airlines are more prone to such things than others. Sadly, there are plenty of people looking to 'cherry pick' video clips to support prejudiced troll agendas. So... RTOs can be for all sorts of reasons. A stray animal unexpectedly crossing the runway. A sudden change of wind direction. A flock of birds passing nearby. A weather-warning light on the pilot's display screen. An unusual pressure reading from one of the plane's tyre monitoring systems. An anomalous oil-pressure or temperature reading. A report of smoke in the cabin. A warning of an unsecured door. A component malfunction. A computer glitch. A disruptive passenger or medical emergency. A direction from ATC that another plane needs the runway to make an immediate emergency landing. A burst tyre. In other words, all sorts of things can cause an RTO. More often than not, aborting is nothing but a precautionary measure because crews are trained never to take risks. People lose sight of the fact that a video like this is an edited compilation of many hours of airport activity. Hundreds and hundreds of flights come and go normally; we're just seeing the ones that didn't get off the ground first time. Also, this is London, Heathrow, home of British Airways; it's only natural that most of the arrivals and departures we see throughout the day are part of British Airways' fleet, and BA has a lot of Airbus planes. People need to know that you're not deliberately 'picking on' Aurbus or out to damage any reputations. A similar compilation video made in the States would feature mainly Boeing jets because they're more numerous there. So, there's nothing suspicious about any of this. No mystery. No conspiracy. At any busy airport, stuff happens. RTOs and go arounds are neither rare nor common - they just happen sometimes. It's a normal part of aviation. Filming and editing the incidents into compilation videos gives a distorted impression of what's going on. I know it's more work for you, but I think it'd help if the subtitles made things a little more clear.🙂

Agree with you 100%. I’m an aviation enthusiast, but it kinda bugs me a bit not knowing what really happened, why these take-offs were aborted. 😬

Dates and times too. The ones at the start could have been consecutive, for all we can tell. Otherwise some unique content.

the emergency brake reminded me about the emergency break we do for car test😂😂

Yep! "When I tap my hand on the dashboard I want you to bring the car to a stop as quickly and safely as possible..." Tap... BRAKE! Screeeech! Bang! Oww!😁 (Driving instructor hits head on windscreen...)

Amazing video! RTO’s are extremely unfortunate

Nicely done mate 👌

It's amazing how most flights departing/landing on 27R/9L are filmed!

Leave a like if you want a part 2

Yes, please! 🙂

So...........what was the cause for each jet to stop take off? Weather? Mechanical?

Yeah what cause all these jets to stop Hal way down runway ???????? All BA jets

[@robertfrempong6047]

What was the reason for the rejected Take-offs please?

[@MrLuciodesouza]

That might be some issue on the runway. It really seems like that.

[@Saa42808]

On that particular day pilots saw a weird object walking in the middle of the runway. Probably an alien. 👽

[@ianmartinkay]

Did they break the brakes?

[@JAK3_57]

Does anyone know the registration of the a380. I think it's G-XLEJ but it's too hard to make out. Also if anyone knows what day it happened then that would help too :)

When it goes back to stand weels are chocked , ground power is connected The jet bridge is connected - slot Is re applied . Engeering come to stand to inspect the aircraft .😊 Worse come worse the flight is Cancelled if aircraft needs to go to the hanger all cargo , baggage is Removed from aircraft .

I wonder if it's the same pilot but flying different BA aircraft 😅

Also because probably 80-90% of departures out of LHR are IAG aircraft.

[@Cax10135]

Why they all aborting their takeoffs?

[@roscozone8092]

Could be all sorts of reasons: - slow speed, maybe company called and said the load sheet was wrong, so they fast taxi, exit, recalc their weight & balance and take off after a delay - high speed,maybe for incorrect or invalid airspeed indication, engine not running at expect power or too hot, or oil pressure dropped too low All manner of things can happen, but rejecting takeoffs is an element in the overarching aviation safety system. Frustrating for passengers, but sometimes essential.

[@Cax10135]

@@roscozone8092 thank you for your response. Very informative 👍

[@roscozone8092]

@@Cax10135 NP 🙂 My list is far from exhaustive, but it will give you an idea WRT the sorts of things that *can* happen... There are many more besides... Unfortunately, the clips didn't include the ATC tower audio, which would provide more definitive information. ATC may have cancelled takeoff clearances, too, in some instances, although that would be unusual at Heathrow, since they tend to operate parallel runways, one for takeoffs and the other for landings. Using parallel runways in this way is intended to prevent aircraft getting in each others' ways, maximising aircraft movements. If you want to go further down the rabbit-hole, there are aviation-related KZbin channels you could explore. VASAviation, YouCanSeeATC are about ATC occurrences, while Stig Aviation looks at the aircraft line maintenance side. 🙂
