That A350 took off and climbed better on one engine than Aerosucre does with two or three.

[@MrTruckerf]

Yes, but it probably was not a ton overloaded like the average Aerosugar.

[@nickboylen6873]

I watched that display in person. It was very impressive, and the engines were nearly silent throughout, which was even more impressive and eerie. The wing isn’t under much load in that turn, though - they weren’t pulling on the elevators and you see the nose yaw towards the ground fairly swiftly in the few seconds it is heavily banked. It is actually part of the manoeuvre to recover from very high nose attitude in “upset recoveries”.

[@valobrien9596]

That Go Air incident was freaky. Not what you want to see when you look out the window as you land! I guess now they should rename themselves "Go-around Air"! I'm curious what that strange groaning kind of sound was about, just before they touched the ground.

[@SpaceBird-Founder]

That sound is from the engines and it's completely normal. Happens when the engine resonates at a specific frequency during landing.

These A350 & 777 maneuvers are stunning, crazy what these big birds are capable of.

Not impressed with that A350's single engine go around. They must have less than 70% thrust on that engine intentionally to check the limit of bare minimum climb rate.

[@santiagokiwi3187]

@@phantomf41 I was also thinking that. That climb was soooo slow. Even on one engine the climb rate should be a lot quicker than that plus the nose up attitude for a one engine take-off seemed excessive

[@lautoka63]

@@AMCustomCoasters Indeed, though I'm surprised to see it being done in Toulouse rather than an isolated area like Istres.

[@RoyalMela]

They can, but they still need two engines to get to takeoff speed, or close to it. Of course there is V1 speed, there takeoff can still be rejected, in case of technical failure, so if the plane does not have two engines at V1, they can still stop in time and after V1 they can take off with only one engine.

[@Trevor_Austin]

@@lautoka63Airbus do a considerable amount of testing in Toulouse. The first flight of any type always has to be done from there. Don’t forget, these are not so much tests as confirmations that the calculations and simulator models are correct.

This has been one of favorite "tasks' in flight sims - trying to take-off with most cargo/least engines (like B747 with 2 engines only etc.) running etc. Finding longest runaway, hanging above runaway while retracting landing gear to get that extra speed etc. ("safety standrards" and "planes physical limitations" are two different things)

[@abikeanditsboy3449]

Do you fly for Aerosucre by chance?

[@R2Bl3nd]

That's my favorite thing to do in Flight Sims too - push the limits; try to take off on the super short runways with huge planes and stuff like that. Flight simulators exist so that there is no actual risk whatsoever in trying anything. Doing normal non risky things in them to me feels a lot less interesting.

[@georgeconway4360]

You could NEVER take off a four engine airplane with two engines, no payload, and a very light load of fuel. The only airplane that could be ferried with one engine inoperative under the U.K. rules was the VC10. I know because I did one once Frankfurt to London, no passengers. In the U.S.A. the FAA is more liberal permitting engine out ferry flights. Major airlines usually use specially qualified crews. Some of the Supplemental Airlines permitted regular line pilots to do the job which was reckless. Under the FAA rules it is not required to account for the possibility of the loss of a second engine on takeoff as the U.K. required. Although the risk of losing a second engine is slight the airplane will not fly before being cleaned up with two engines inoperative.

[@bjoe385]

When I tried it with a 747 it has the power to climb out on two engines, but it doesn’t have enough rudder authority to keep straight if the two engines are on the same side.

​@@n666eo Had it been a CATIII Approach the aircraft wouldn't have been off the runway centerline as it would have been an autoland. It's likely that they were visual at mimimums, but then lost sight due to a low level cloud.

@@ogaibo1316 or they tried to continue without being visual with the runway as I've heard some stories where some pilots descend below minimums trying to get visual breaking so many rules.

What on earth happened to the GoAir did it touch down after the runway? What was all that shaking in the cabin? I would’ve been absolutely terrified!!

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, Ben! 🙂 The plane touched down too far left of the runway in the fog and ran on the grass/dirt for a few yards (causing the bumps and vibration) before the pilot saw enough to realise what had happened. The TOGA (go around) procedure is one of the most frequently practised drills, so this went as expected. All planes are set up so that they can respond quickly to an incident just like this - the engines give maximum thrust and the flaps are already at a suitable angle for a safe climb out. It's shocking for the passengers, but not desperately serious. The pilot would have to log the incident and probably request that an engineer check the left landing gear and tyres were still 100% operational immediately after the next landing (the exact procedure depends on the airline).

[@naksh0sea0monstergamingyt39]

Sheesh that was a close tail strike

[@garykinzie3307]

As an airline pilot, we practiced annually in the simulator. I’ve actually landed with one engine due to an engine failed of the left engine. You want your pilots to be able to do this. You never know when something will happen to cause an engine failure, even half way down the runway. The FAA requires airplanes to be able to takeoff if the engine fails after a go/no go speed. This is calculated for every single flight for commercial airplanes carrying passengers.
