Turbulent Take-Off: Airbus A310-304/TS657

[masonril87]

Where wer you goin I flew in air Canada air bus 310 it's awesoeme

[warminator]

Nice take off, nice aircraft. I loved the 310. It was somewhat like a wide bodied 737.

[aerlingus1000]

Very steep take off wasn't it?

[TheGreybelly]

With reference to the hijacking, no doubt the guy is probably now an asylum seeker and driving a cab around New York.

[jeremyv11000]

i was coming from cochin to jfk and ther was a stop in kuwait

from cochin to kuwait it was an a310 just like this and as we were leveling out we went strait into some clouds and the plane just dropped for about 5 seconds

that was the scariest day of my life and every body was screaming so like

the airline was kuwait airways

[dcccapfan]

I always find it funny how when flying clouds aren't as soft as they look. Like one flight from MSP to JFK I remember looking out the window and kinda tensing up every time I saw a cloud go by cause I knew the plane was going to bounce. They look so soft but when u fly through them they aren't soft at all!!

[shawardara]

I'd rather watch it than live it!

[prabhatkaushik]

i love take offs during such weather...!

[MrMouns63]

Look how fast the airplane climbs! Full power , bad weather= excelent

[Jetplane1123]

Hah. Try landing in a hurricane my friend... :0)

Literally stop in mid air!

Wish I had my cam..

[kenpalmer1965]

Wow! That had to have been interesting taking off in that storm. I couldn't tell how hard the rain was falling though. How bumpy was it? It's hard to get the feel for turbulence while watching a video here on youtube. Nevertheless, neat video once again!

[Milenium412]

You shouldn't have turn on your video camera when the plane is taking off. Isn't that breaking the rules hehe

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@Milenium412 if your breaking the rules then why do pilots do this on landing.

[wizzair1313]

cabin?

[fxdesca]

i would have hate to be in that plane at that moment

[piwo737]

great video

[nemo227]

That was kind of invigorating and fun.

[scienceguy474]

isnt that climb a little steep

[cun7us]

@scienceguy474 you'd be surprised how steep planes can go during take off. In Florence airport for example, because the run way is so small, they can't use too much fuel on take off so it has to do a very steep incline and land at another airport nearby (I think Genoa) to refuel.

[thatfraserkid]

@cun7us not too steep lol, 15 degree angle of attack on the wing (depending on wing design) is usually the maximum before the wing stalls

[PrivatePilot90]

Flying through clouds are the best part, lol

[MyEmpire91]

scary..

[dermantilla]

we can see a heavy rain also this take off has a  hight degree like a semi vertical take off.

[insaturnsringzz]

I HATE taking off in storms.!!!!

[cesarishalo]

the turbulence could have been from wake turbulence?

[a090006]

looks like a lot of rain during take of and a very beautiful sight between those clowds!

[Ovechkin81]

@ blablabla6994 I had a few hours after work one day to fulfill some boredom, so I was searching various airplane pictures sites to see where this Airbus had visited. I noticed it was registered to Lufthansa at one point, so I Googled the old registration tag and immediately started seeing articles about the hijacking. Very interesting and something I was not expecting.

[Ovechkin81]

Quick little bit of history regarding this very aircraft. Once owned by Lufthansa and registered as D-AIDM, it was involved in a hijacking incident in 1993.

February 11, 1993: Lufthansa Flight 592 scheduled service from Frankfurt to Cairo and Addis Ababa, was hijacked at gunpoint by Nebiu Demeke, an Ethiopian man. The A310 initially flew to Hannover for fuel before flying to New York's JFK where the hijacker surrendered after brief negotiations. No passengers or crew were injured or killed.

[blablabla6694]

wow thats interesting! how did you find the information about this plane?

[SenorSpode]

There's only one flaw with the video: you're on an Airbus. Greetings from Boeingville!

[bwfc4eva86]

Nothing wrong with Airbus. Airbus and Boeing are great. Its the Russian rubbish that you don;t want to fly on.

[00TURKIYE00]

I HATE TURBULANCE

[sebadita92]

i love it

[TissieBacke94]

I hate the noise, planes make, when they take off.. :(

[hairybearz]

@TissieBacke94 yeh same its bloody scary >:( feels to me its gonna crash lOL!

[Pober135]

Why don't you like it? It's just the engines at full power.

[Pober135]

Why don't you like it? It's just the engines at full power.

[Germannerd]

nice

5*

i like those videos

[aviator147]

isnt it awesome though when you punch thru the cloud deck and its sunny!!

[eeti27]

Thats one of the best things in the world!

[flyboy6753]

A310's can climb really steep

[Needsdecaf]

@flyboy6753

Depending on the wind, we can get them off the ground quite quickly..

[marospy]

nice cam man

[mrmygoo888]

RYAN AIR ARE SHITE!!!!

[floepie22]

Look how fast he's making a turn to the right to avoid heavier weather

[rogermoore27]

Man I was nearly got sick looking at this takeoff....

[rowdybusch51kb18]

me too!!

[mohr90]

impressive climbing rate !

[joerobbo0]

wot a video nice one

[roardownking]

yo every 1 ma question is

does lighting play any factor

[fyamon6143]

Hahah, the comment on page 2 about the camera transmitting signals that could take down a plane is pretty funny.

[ALEXNORTHEYISBACK]

That actualy loked nice and smooth. When i went on a ryanair from manchester to dublin the weather was quite bad. It was gale force winds so when we got in the air everyone was screaming cos it kept feeling like we were plummiting out of the sky lol. But once we were above the clouds it was nice and smooth. Until we got below them again lol

[2491cc]

Yea, but Ryanair's planes are made of old banana skins.

[lilblitz]

ryan air operate a brand new fleet of 737's ??? The average age of their fleet is 2.8 years old british airways is 11.4 years old, and in 24 years have never had a fatal incident or even serious injury, they are a very safe airline with an excelent young fleet????

[RyaanM123]

Ryanair's planes are made of exactly the same material as any other airline so shut the fuck up! They're not the greatest airline granted but they're good for business people who need to fly arround europe alot cheaply

[SchwedenMatze]

fly around cheaply to land in the middle of nowhere.... it's a rip off to call an airport frankfurt when it's 80 miles away.... public taking transport to and from the airport in to account + plus extra for luggage plus extra for whatever, ryanair turns out very often not being the cheapest

[dyretrevolver]

the worst part of flying is when going trough the clouds

[MURDER1877]

y ?

[martziano619]

that's absolutely true

[pilotanthony]

@dyretrevolver for me its the best part

[counterclockwise123]

@dyretrevolver That's my favorite part! #LOL Look like mountains floating in the sky.

[marcelocaceres561]

wow i dont want to fly like that..lol

[laettis]

its feels alot better taking off in this kinda weather then landing =)

[winterka100]

@laettis I agree. When taking off, it's much easier to hit the target (the sky) , and when you hit it, it's much softer than the ground.

[sattaravy]

@laettis I disagree... at least when landing you know the ordeal is almost over... when taking off the ordeal has just begun

[Cameran123]

@laettis soo true ;)

[madtoytle]

THANK GOD FOR Rain X!!!

[cedarjet707]

Would have liked to have seen more of that! First flight on TS was LGW-YYZ on an A310-300, we had emergency landing back at LGW a few mins after takeoff, somewhat unnerving.

Fixed broken part, off again, nice flight across the Atlantic, came into YYZ and there were some big thunderclouds in the area, and so we had the most fantastic arrival, almost certainly hand-flown through clear skies in between these huge anvil clouds all around us. Amazing! Thank you TS.

[splatty123]

great video. 5 stars.

[waynejj1985]

any ideas if its possible to sit in the cockpit  for take offs or landng ?

[juuls26]

If your the pilot yes otherwise no. Especially after 9/11.

[osuengineer2012]

juuls26 is right but some countries you still can if your lucky. I know all in North America you cannot unless you have a reason to be up there. I have had friends flying around South America (Brazil) pop up in the cockpit during flight... Other than that id say if you really wanna be up there work for the airline as a pilot (or be a federal marshal haha)

[lilblitz]

i used to when i was a kid no way now on a major airline

[noodlebike]

Not anymore unless you are flight deck crew. I was lucky enough back in the 90's to sit in the jumpseat on a tristar landing in Heraklion, on Crete at night. Great experience & great aircraft.

[AZ767]

Air Transat rulz! Love them

[taariq15]

i live in birmingham only 10 min away from bhx airport and i saw this rain its scaryyyyy

[SamGaming]

you saw this rain, how do you know its this rain, lmao! There is a lot of rain you know.

[JamesLiveProductions]

Where were you headin? Toronto?

[ctvelcalzon77]

wow taht was a lot of rain

[Timsierramist]

It's always a bit annoying when people are looking for the Extreme in Youtube. If someone mentions there was light to moderate turbulance, well, let's just say it's a whole 'nother world being in the video compared to just watching it. Fact is, there probably was some light/moderate turbulance.

[ads998]

Hmm...not very turbulent if you ask me!

[aidaningham]

nice video

[Garlak94]

WoW !!! is very exciting

[lehustler123]

Normal take off

[balsingh1]

All electonic equipment is to be switched off during take off and landing .... looks like someone chose to ignore that

[GinoRc]

Dude a camera does not make any interference, is not dangerous.

[zulu1129]

True... I always record my TO and landings. Even if you use it in the cockpit it won't change anything. Trust me I recorded a landing from the cockpit and the pilots never told me I could use my camera. If it was they would of told me.

[Timsierramist]

Dude, give me a break. I record,often, aircraft landings and take-offs. Rarely do flight attendants care as they walk by while i'm filming if you do decide to record. Maybe only the uptight ones or the new crewmembers.

[edwindmill]

So how do you know what causes interference to the flight instruments and what doesn't? Have you personally had each and every mobile/camcorder tested? It's incredibly irresponsible of whoever filmed this. Just as the aircraft lifts off into cloud and goes IMC the handling pilots instrumentation goes blurry all for the sake of some ultra boring video on youtube. And by the way it does happen I've seen it.

[Ovechkin81]

Irresponsible? Get off your high horse.

How many take-off videos do you see circulating around YouTube? Have one of them ever resulted in a crash? When's the last time you heard of a plane being brought down because of a passenger filming on board?

And please, tell us where you've witnessed the instruments go blank/blurry. My camera has no wireless components and does NOT transmit any signals.

Also, there are no laws stipulating that I must turn my camera off. Courtesy is not a law.

[jezrelnyc2000]

@Ovechkin81 amen to that. I hate it when people comment on take-off vids "oh ur not supposed to use ur camera blah blah" like srsly do u rly think that a camera can bring down a plane.

[splatty123]

get a life u sad cunt and get your facts right first. there is no evidence to show that it does cause crashes but if you look at how many videos there are of planes landing and taking off none of them crash. i understand the precaution but it is a load of crap. cam corders and other filming equiptment do not let off signals.

[ALEXNORTHEYISBACK]

Phones do. But video cams are alright cos phones let off signals

[Borck103]

@edwindmill :| Mythbusters tested the effects of mobile devices on aircraft. The myth was busted.

[GreekDestination]

wow! this is some bad weather!! I hate it when it goers all shaky but then again its exciting! ^^

[edal61]

Please, define "turbulent". I did not see anything out of the ordinary, besides the showers.

[lorenzozabala]

I though the atlantic glider belonged to air Canada??... Whatever, i don't see anything special in this video...Just normal take off during rainy conditions..

[Arid0123]

Appearently, you fly just once in a year, if u call that turbulance take-off:)

[congaleader2000]

this airline SUCKS!

[Ovechkin81]

I can't say that I agree with you. However, their choice of in-flight meals are pretty poor. The tandoori chicken tasted more like spicy Playdough

[congaleader2000]

I'm talking more about their safety record, (not necessarily crashes) but their maintenance records, fines by FAA, Canadian and other agencies are abundant. They have a poor record keeping, shoddy maintenance and a lot of "events"

[Ovechkin81]

I was recently checking up on their history based on the reports from the Transportation Safety Board and it seems as if they have a high number of incidents (mostly due to maintenance issues) on a monthly basis.

I didn't bother checking other airline safety records, so I'm not quite sure if what I saw was standard/routine operating procedures or an inclination of their shoddy maintenance work. To a casual observer it was a little alarming though.

[congaleader2000]

I know, they used to fly into MCO and they pulled out (don't know why) but they were always delayed, or broken (old L-1011s), had a fire on the runway, listened to them on my scanner once, freakin out cuz they were out of fuel and needed to land w/ T-Storms and LLWAS on all runways, couldn't make their alternate (poor training and fuel planning) and it goes on and on, not to mention their famous Atlantic glider!

[zulu1129]

They still fly into MCO

and they don't have poor training... omg no... you really don't know about them

[AvcamProductions]

@congaleader2000

what you just said clearly has no sense at all as you are objecting your own points (which you are having difficulty with making)

as said, no one has ever been injured or killed on a TSC flight, their aircraft are maintainted by some of the most highly regarded aviation maintenance professionals in the Canadian Aviation Industry, and you should make note of the quality of flying by their pilots, which I can tell you know nothing about because you probably never flew with them

[CKOI969]

congaleader2000 you SUCks menn air transat is the best compagnie in quebec

[filipinoboy147]

air transat sucks because its records and its probably the worst airline in canada

[Cessna154]

Good video!

[waynejj1985]

runway 15 take off i think

[speedbird125]

very nice! 5/5

[Ovechkin81]
