Thumbs up if you love the engine sound.

I love this video. Awesome sound of the V2500-A5s (or are they A7s?). I like the throttle down at 1,500 ft. It would have been better if you had continued shooting until the aircraft was cleaned up - CCJ being at sea level (I presume), I think it would have been at around 3,000 ft.

This was an Etihad aircraft.

2 A320s were leased from Air Malta in 2007 but they went back after a few months. Etihad now has 12 A320s & 2 A319s.

good camera work, excellent sound 5*

Is this the IAE V2500 engine?

[LH287]

No, it's CFM56

[LH287]

EDIT: Actually, it could be the V2500, I'm confused... I think it's CFM, but eithad seems to use both variants...

[BibKnelg787]

I think, the engine looks and sounds like the V2500... but I could be wrong, too :)

[flymajj]

This is a V2500.

The only Etihad A320 with the CFM is A6-EIZ which is ex-Air Canada. It was Etihad's first A320 delivered in Summer 2007 and was registered 9H-AFE for a short time after joining Etihad. This is likely to leave the Etihad fleet at some point as it lacks commonality with the rest of the A320s.

@LH287 One thing I noticed though is that CFMs tend to sound more like grinding metal and the 2500s sound like a buzzing rather than grinding. Both sound great to me.

Yes, it is IAE. I can tell from the sound.

I normally edit the details just after uploading, but the UAE authorities blocked YouTube (again!) for a few weeks.

Updated now.
