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.

[@Ian-xq4rt]

There's probably 101 reasons for an abort, many went to full take off throttle and shortly after aborted, so I suspect an indicator wasn't giving the correct readings (engine temp, pressure, etc;). It could be that the pilot start their role without actual permission from the Tower (unlikely but I'm sure it happens), then it's a go round with head held down for another attempt. One or two had bad weather, so it's also possible the crew saw something not very pleasant on their radar and decided to give it a miss and go round again. The key message here is the pilot is playing safe and not taking risks which is a very good thing.

Plane spotting with a difference! I remember a few years ago waiting at Sydney Airport international terminal for a friend to fly in. Because I enjoy a good bit of plane spotting I arrived early. With a large cappuccino in hand (and probably some naughty thing to eat) I sat and watched fascinated as a 747 moved out of its parking bay in preparation for taxiing, it then toddled off a little, stopped for a bit, returned and reparked itself. Lots of people and vehicles buzzed around for a while and then, having been declared fit to go, the 747 moved out of its parking bay, taxied a bit, stopped, thought about things, returned and waited patiently while more people and vehicles buzzed around a bit more. Having been again declared fit to go it moved out, toddled off, stopped, thought about things for quite a while and was eventually escorted back to the terminal and passengers disembarked. I don't know what happened after that because my friend's plane had arrived, however the incident was a great talking point because my friend's husband worked for an airline. Thanks for the post.

[@techmantra4521]

Thankfully I've not been in a go-around or a rejected takeoff yet. I guess it will happen. Great video.

[@SuperBigBanny]

Had this happen to me on an easy jet from Liverpool many years ago. Pilot said a warning light came on in the cockpit. He then said we will see what we can do about it. So he pulled off the runway, stopped and for want of a better reason “revved up the engines 4 or five times”. Then came the words “OK ladies and gents. The lights gone out so we will give it another try”. We taxied to the runway again where he ran up the engines again while seeming to hold the breaks on and then off we went!!’ 👀. Everyone was a bit nervous for the rest of that flight !!

[@justanordinaryKite]

That sort of thing happens on a fairly "regular" basis--they're called engine run-ups. From someone inside the aviation industry, there are times, just like with a truck or car, that the oil pressure just does something slightly wonky, but goes right back to normal after a short bit of running the engine. I've been in a plane a couple of times when something along these lines has happened--to be fair, not on takeoff roll, but after pushing out from the gate, there's been a couple of times where we had to be pulled back in to fill up oil or had to sit for a while to let the engines idle.

It seems like once the reject has begun the plane either automatically comes to a stop or pilot piloting is required by protocol to stop very suddenly. Seems like it would be better mechanically to slowly bring plane to a stop instead of increasing temp on wheels slamming to a stop when it can be a rolling stop

[@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. 🙂
