Scary American 737 Atlanta Takeoff in Thunderstorms!!! HD

American Airlines 737-800 taking off from Atlanta International Airport going to MIA in thunderstorms. We had to wait 4 and a half hours to finally get in the air.

[@weeardguy]

Oh yeah. Experienced that last year, being on a plane for the first time as a 30 yo and being nervous as *beep*. Did not have the faintest clue about how all that stuff worked at an airport, no idea that (what my dad told me, being a former aviation-mechanic with great interest in actually flying planes) they not always stop anymore after taxiing to the runway and without warning I was thrown into my seat as thrust was unleashed. And the weather. We've had a few grey, overcast days in a row already before I would fly from Schiphol Airport. No rain or whatever, just grey, with cloud-bases somewhere around 400 meter or so. Take-off was around 9:30 and being winter, sun was only up for 45 minutes. Disappointed that, on my first flight ever, my look to the outside world had vanished so quickly after leaving ground... and then the cabin filled with this golden light as we breached the clouds and all I could see was a flat, fluffy cloudscape with this unearthly blue sky above me. I could not have had a more beautiful maidenflight.

I like the part where the plane gets above the clouds. There’s something about it that feels safe. I’m terrified of flying but since I’ll be on a plane for about 9 hours I’ve been watching a lot of these videos.

[@happycook6737]

These videos show extremes! You can have nice smooth flights too. For a 9 hour flight, I wear stretchy pants, t-shirt, and front zip hoodie. Have a spare set in carry-on. I keep first aid kit with tylenol, advil, bandaid, alcohol prep pad, pepto bismol, antidiarrheal, UTI antibiotics, a pen, wipes, disposable gloves (for toilet trip), puzzle book (turbulence plan), 3 garbage bags (hold soiled clothes, give to vomiting neighbor, put on my seat if seat is wet, etc. I then feel prepared. The wet seat happened to me on UA LAX-PVG. Sold out plane no chance of new seat. Awful but changed into my spare clothes and put garbage bag barrier. UA gave me $25 voucher for "inconvenience". I was so mad as obviously someone had pissed that seat. They bring in plane and fly it back out 3 hours later like a bus going in circles.

I’m a rational person but when it comes to flying I just get a fear for no reason. Kudos to all the awesome pilots

Huh?

[@RICHGREENNOW]

Actually what the pilot did was thread the needle. He ran between active storm cells and kept climbing at a high rate of assent in a circular pattern until he could achieve 38 thousand feet as soon as possible in order to avoid any cell activity which he masterfully did all while obeying traffic control. There was little chop and no rain on the window. He played dodge ball with nature and won.

[@MileHighClub211]

He certainly did! I'm not one to play with fire in an aircraft. You will never see me paving my way through individual cells of thunderstorms. You'd see me sitting on the tarmac waiting it out. This pilot certainly was one of those daring kind.

[@RICHGREENNOW]

MileHighClub211 Yeah, y'know, I was kinda thinkin the same thing. That was a pretty gutsy move especially in a commercial bus. He was hell bent to keep his on time schedule don't you think?

[@MileHighClub211]

Sure was! Get there itis was certainly a question on my mind.

[@MileHighClub211]

I do not like attempting to "thread the needle" in any aircraft. There is an abundance of opportunities for things to go awry, something pilots normally cannot afford. As you know, the turbulence experienced in thunderstorm cells is catastrophic, enough to rip an aircraft into smithereens. I've experienced my fair share of turbulence, just never near any convective activity. I'm not one to state this, but this pilot may have been a lucky fella.

[@MileHighClub211]

I never take my chances. One senseless mistake in an aircraft can spell a death sentence. I should know, I've lost friends in the aviation industry from circumstances I'd rather not mention here on KZbin.

The busy scene at the airport; the beautiful array of multi-colored lights on the tarmac, runway, terminals, parking lots, other airplanes; the roar of the engines and the speed of takeoff; the unobstructed views you get of Mother Nature's canvas: the sky. Such stunning colors in the clouds and in the sunset, and details no painter could ever recreate. This is Nirvana.

[@gaguy1967]

It’s sunrise

[@frankmolinari467]

Great observation. That appears to be a Runway 8L departure into the rising sun. Normally you would make a mild right turn to 157.5 degrees or so to fly to MIA. Since the airport is handling departure traffic, there is possible traffic from the other runways. Hence the reason for the turn to the left. Not a scary departure at all. The clouds may look ominous, but the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) has Doppler radar available with wind shear data and pilots can't fly until it is safe. Cheers!

I had learned how to deal with turbulence and flying around or through thunderstorms since I was 7 years old. That meant turbulence in Stratocruisers, Constellations and Super Constellations, DC-6's and after these, the jets that replaced the props. I can say it was something to watch the wings of a DC-6B moving up and down in turbulence like your car going over a bumpy road. WHAT A RIDE!!

Those sorts of dark clouds send shivers through me. Last year I saw the same clouds right before a derecho raced through my area, which had already weakened somewhat but was still a terrifying looking wall of charcoal gray clouds. Expect very strong wind driven torrential rain and lots of lightning. Sometimes hail and tornadoes accompany these intense storms, especially if you notice a green-ish tinge to the clouds.

I'll take severe clear any day and smooth air. There's a reason they have air sickness bags stowed in the sweat pouches. This vid may look pretty but thunderstorms can hide a lot of nasty things--icing, pressure drops that make the altimeter difficult to read, wid shear, and heavy rain, which could be as dangerous as hail, which is definitely something that can ruin your day.

Before landing, I saw a girl try to get to the lavatory after being told repeatedly to stay seated and buckled in. She got launched almost up to the ceiling, striking a perfect Superman pose, before crashing down to the floor of the cabin. Thanks for sharing.

I find it highly unlikely that you actually flew into a thunderstorm. The pilots probably used their radar to avoid the worst of the weather. No sane pilot I know (other than hurricane hunters) would intentionally fly into a thunderstorm. They were close by, sure, but you didn't actually fly into one.

Absolutely right. I would assume by the moment the plane started taxing the storm zone had already moved away far enough in the opposite direction, although we still see it in a distance. Of the long queue that I spotted on the taxiway this plane might have been the 1st to be cleared for take-off. And again, no pilot in his clear mind would dare to fly into yellow and red zones on the radar. Greetings from Russia, UUEE, where thunderstorms are usually formed in late July - early August, we're lucky in that way.

It is technically illegal if you have a way out or around.

jstrahan2 agree 100 percent no pilot would Eva fly threw it they fly around it then they get back on course

I don't know what rules you operate under, but at the major airline I work at, that is not how it happens. The tower does not 'tell you how to set up' the GPS 'devices'. The Aircraft Operating Manual (AOM) does that (with some possible input at certain airports (not common)). Clearance Delivery may, or may not, give you a clearance that shows waypoints and required altitudes. Doppler radar has NO input in this process, other than as part of a pilots regular weather briefing. After mutually confirming that the route is correct in the Flight Management System (FMS), the pilots may, at their discretion, or as part of a more restrictive procedure, engage the autopilot at the required minimum height and let the plane fly the SID (Standard Intsrument Departure) or the STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route).

You know nothing about "clickbait", bro. The title is made to make you click.
