RARE RUNWAY | British Airways A321neo Takeoff from London Heathrow Airport

Subscribe for lots more content like this !! Uploads every other Friday at 5PM UK time !! ✈️✈️
Due to works on the southern runway at LHR, only 27R and 09L can be used currently. 09L is normally not used for takeoffs due to lack of runway holding space but, due to a reduced number of operations caused by the coronavirus, is used to provide respite from the noise for residents around the airport by alternating the direction of operations.

8:20 is the time . No need for like or thumbs up.

[@cplayzstuff6907]

Danm that sound! At the start!!!

[@BenkertAviation]

I think it was the cabin audio? We found it funny at first then it actually just got really loud haha. Thankfully it stopped ✈️✈️

[@AE.rojet_aviation]

9:44 look at that narrow parking area of 747s 😳

[@max010113]

never seen a plane take off from that end before, how interesting

[@GabroPlayz]

If you put your headphones on, it sounds 100x better 😅

[@BenkertAviation]

i agree !! really picks up the hum ✈️✈️

[@ravipateluk]

❤ Beautiful views & quality of video !

[@BenkertAviation]

thank you !! ✈️✈️

[@brunochiesa1744]

Love the CFM Leap sound, amazing video!

[@BenkertAviation]

bronshKKo thank you !! I do too, they’re like nothing else !! ✈️✈️

[@RicciWork]

@@BenkertAviation May I ask what is so special. Sounds plain and uninteresting to me. The buzz saw is barely audible, on some videos none at all. This actually has some buzz saw. It is worse on A320 videos. Instead the buzzsaw has been replaced by a sicking high pitched whine that hurts my ears. Hardly great sound. It does have a nice start up sound and spool up though which reminds me of the GE 90. Otherwise I prefer the CFM56 ceo!

[@hotshot4512]

@@RicciWork it sounds cool on start for sure. The sound at takeoff is a lot more pleasant. Not as cool as the ceo but still nice.

[@louisfilms01]

Nice video!! I love that engine sound

[@BenkertAviation]

Uk_Mx_Aviation thank you- me too !! ✈️✈️

[@BensPlanesTrainsProductions]

Brilliant Video, The Quality of that camera is amazing and thank you for sharing your departure video from a runway that isn't normally used for departing.

[@BenkertAviation]

Ben's Planes & Trains Productions you’re very welcome !! It was great to experience it and I thought I may as well upload it now so that people can enjoy it !! ✈️✈️

[@BensPlanesTrainsProductions]

Brilliant, I never flown into Heathrow. I have spotted at Heathrow, I was going to fly into Heathrow back in March but sadly Flybe collapsed and lockdown restrictions. But I may fly again soon, maybe next year possibly with British Airways.

[@BenkertAviation]

It’s a great place to fly into !! Lots of widebodies and lots of different airlines too !! I’ve a load of videos from LHR with many to come too so I hope you enjoy them as they come out ✈️✈️

[@hcassells66]

This feeling is amazing

[@CobaltPhotography]

Wonderful takeoff and beautiful engine view!

[@BenkertAviation]

CobaltPhotography thank you !! The lighting was great ✈️✈️

[@TheFuraz]

Awesome! I was really disappointed of the engine when flying with an A320neo, but this one is great!

[@BenkertAviation]

Thank you so much !! ✈️✈️

[@fluffyco.1615]

Why you dont like the engine of a320neo?

[@nickc7576]

What a truly alien view, taking off from 9L.

[@BenkertAviation]

Nick C it really is !! Glad I got the chance to experience it !! ✈️✈️

[@PeterWalkerHP16c]

The engines weren't even at full stick. I was waiting for them to go full tilt be he didn't need it.

[@BenkertAviation]

yes !! the flight was super empty- probably only 25 or so of us on the flight as this was about a week after the UK reintroduced quarantine from spain fue to the high number of cases in catalonia at the time and 3 days later the 3 x daily a321neos were replaced by 2 x A319s for a period ✈️✈️

[@ChlorineD]

Very good footage, very clear and sharp. Must have been using a really good camera. Great ground views. 👍

[@BenkertAviation]

Avryl Stockton thank you !! It was an iPhone XS funnily enough, but the lighting was amazing so really helped it be really clear ✈️✈️

[@kwakka636]

I love video like this.Pushback,startup,taxi and takeoff.Please do this video like this again.Thank you.

[@BenkertAviation]

Thank you !! All of my takeoff videos have pushback to after takeoff- there are many more to come ✈️✈️

[@langkawiaviation]

@@BenkertAviation oh great.Thanks.Have a nice and safe day😊😊😊.

@17:41 Littlehampton, West Sussex is the town ahead / left of the engine. Selsey coming up on right middle.

[@stevegarnham4632]

Excellent quality 👍

[@BenkertAviation]

thank you !! ✈️✈️

[@drewdrewski6278]

Pilot hit V1 really quick! Must of been a quiet flight?! Great vid…

[@BenkertAviation]

yes, it really was !! an a321neo with about 25 people in it. it was because they had re-introduced a two week quarantine on return from spain the week before but had not reduced the equipment size to match the reduction in demand ✈️✈️

[@kwakka636]

Nice thrust climb reduction noise

[@DrRchannel71]

very interesting post

[@voltaranb00yt53]

Sounds like a GE90

[@Devolante]

Flew on the same plane on BA621 from Larnaca to Heathrow, super smooth, great landing. Even got a poster of this plane 🤣🤣

[@BenkertAviation]

that’s so funny !! you’ll have to try and fly on it again ✈️✈️

[@leathomas9983]

Why IAG are interested in buying the disaster that is the Max over more of these is beyond me!! Great video and nice U.K. see 09L in use!!

[@BenkertAviation]

I know right !! Thank you very much- it was a cool experience !! ✈️✈️

[@stephen_101]

Discounts galore, that's why!

[@JCO1406]

I'd rather fly the neo than the max.

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

Was he having troubles with his PA system when giving instructions on safety and the flight? Nice video

[@BenkertAviation]

Yes I believe so !! Thank you ✈️✈️

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

Buzz saw sound :)

[@fatimadiop8383]

Bellissima

[@kwakka636]

Does the neo lose the ptu sound like the old a320 ? Didn’t hear it on start up

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Very nice engine view

[@BenkertAviation]

DOMINICA AVIATION thank you !! It was so empty I could choose whichever I liked really ✈️✈️

[@adamblunsdon7784]

Nice video

Adam Weather fan thank you !! ✈️✈️

@@BenkertAviation your welcome I can't wait to go to sicily in October 2 months to go

[@BenkertAviation]

Adam Weather fan that’ll be great !! Hope you enjoy my channel until you go ✈️✈️

[@kona702]

If you look at the wind sock you can see exactly why they chose to depart from that side of the runway that day.

[@BenkertAviation]

that direction yes, but 09L in particular due to the low amount of traffic. it’s not been used regularly for takeoffs since the height of the first wave ✈️✈️

[@TVBlindBonsai]

Airbus is using GE90, GEnx Engine(GE Aviation)

[@user-nj6fg7yu1j]

그럼 이 엔진이 GE90 이에요?

[@speedbird4542]

Well sir on this particular aircraft the A321 NEO is equipped with CFM LEAP 1-A engines :)

[@aviationphu9603]

I wish the winglets or “sharklets” was painted blue or like the tail

[@BenkertAviation]

It would be cool if they were the same as their A350s !! ✈️✈️

[@RoadhouseDeluxe]

Unless the LEAP is at TOGA give me the PW 1100s quiet growl everyday of the week over the LEAP 1A Vacuum Cleaner everyday of the week

[@Andy1076]

Someone needs to fix that guy's microphone lol! He should just take a break and let us enjoy the engine sounds 😎😅

[@BenkertAviation]

i agree !! not the usual start up sound combo haha ✈️✈️

[@smartiboo]

What were those huge white rectangles in that big reservoir?

[@BenkertAviation]

they’re solar panels !! if you want to know more it’s called the Queen Elizabeth II Reservoir ✈️✈️

[@Zeezar2006]

Mini Boeing 777

[@ClonetrooperECHO]

If y’all want to know which seat this is it’s either 9F or 8F

[@BenkertAviation]

it was 5F in fact ! deceivingly far forward ✈️✈️

[@motormusique]

Personally not a fan of the LEAP engine sound. Always reminds me of a building fire alarm or fire raid alarm sound

[@BenkertAviation]

i know what you mean but i suppose it’s refreshing that it’s different to the older types at least !! ✈️✈️

[@fluffyco.1615]

Its different but its quieter , and this is so bad !!!

A321neo vs. B737 MAX 9, 10 and B757

[@nidanaeem8777]

It's too much noisy than other flights.

[@jrwoodson3927]

Taco Bell"

[@thiernoba3388]

But that is for a320

[@BenkertAviation]

It’s an A321neo !! They’re all very new ✈️✈️

[@thiernoba3388]

So it has to have a leap 1a oh i see

[@thiernoba3388]

So leap 1a is a mini ge90 and 1b it's a mini genx

[@Hataker2]

Feedback from a PA System Microphone

[@BenkertAviation]
