Absolutely perfect takeoff and climb out. THANK YOU for not ruining your beautiful footage with those horrible nonstop subtitles that usual state the obvious or silly comments. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@inflight_aviation]

Haha I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ;)

[@FlyingCube6]

I personally love the CFM Leap engines, this video was great!

[@inflight_aviation]

@@FlyingCube6 I do too! Thanks for watching!

[@bigbandbennett]

CFM LEAPs are easily the best sounding of the more fuel efficient engines out there today

[@inflight_aviation]

Agreed! I still love the IAEs and CFMs more though…

[@tommydummy949]

The initial max power climb and the drop in engine sound/power around the 2:29 mark is due to the noise abatement rule over the expensive Newport Beach/Coast area

[@inflight_aviation]

American doesn't do the cutbaack for noise abatement. They do require a full thrust takeoff with max flaps but once you're off the runway its the same as any other departure.

[@jo.frmdmv]

Wow the engine is insane!

[@inflight_aviation]

@@jo.frmdmv yup!

[@bigbandbennett]

Holy god, that was one quick takeoff roll-only 17 seconds after the initial TO/GA onset!

[@inflight_aviation]

@@bigbandbennett yup, insane! That’s why I love SNA! Thanks for watching!

[@JamesFrancoSwiss]

Wow great takeoff!

[@inflight_aviation]

@@JamesFrancoSwiss yessir it was unreal! Thanks for watching!

[@lost_times-j4c]

Such a wonderful video out of my hometown airport!! Love to see the American A321 NEO skyrocket out of KSNA with those clean buzzsaw Leap-1A engines… 😍👏✈️

[@inflight_aviation]

@@lost_times-j4c thank you!

[@ВсеволодКращук]

Skiathos Airport in Greece has a runway length of 1628 m. Wizz Air's Airbus A321 NX also flies there. Flights to the UK on Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A320, lasting 3-3.5 hours, operate with a 65-70% load to reduce weight and avoid refueling in Thessaloniki. Similar to SNA (Santa Ana), TO/GA (Take Off/Go Around), a fast takeoff roll and a steep climb are employed.

[@inflight_aviation]

@@ВсеволодКращук yup! However, at Skiathos sometimes a flex takeoff is available, they just use whatever is needed, though at SNA TOGA is required

[@a380sanm]

This is probably a dumb question, but what does a TOGA take off mean? Love your videos by the way!!

[@inflight_aviation]

@@a380sanm first of all, thanks for the support! In Airbus terminology, TOGA means Takeoff/Go Around thrust and is the highest power setting there is, except for some of the older American standard 321s which have a bump setting.

[@matthewtownsend2368]

Much better engine than the Pw1100g

[@inflight_aviation]

@@matthewtownsend2368 agreed

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

Is that an airbus 737 max 😂😂

[@inflight_aviation]

Haha

[@Abel0179]

Now that was a SHORT takeoff...

[@inflight_aviation]

Oh yeah- we had about 50 or 60 open seats and it was fueled just for the flight to PHX- we were light. We could have used a FLEX takeoff however American has requirements in place for the entire airbus fleet that mandate TOGA thrust, APU on, and Flaps 3. Thanks for watching!
