Thai Airways Boeing 777 Takeoff from Phuket 17.08.06

[mike40842]

Having flown 777 – 300 ER to St Lucia and 777 200 ER to the Maldives, I can confirm that the dreadful noise of the GE 115 is far worse than the Trent 895

[abeamarra]

How long is the flight to Bangkok from Phuket?

[bertyblue]

I've heard that Phuket airport can be a tricky airport to fly in and out of due to the mountains etc.

But from this and other landings I've seen on youtube, there doesn't seem to be anything difficult about planes landing here??? Apparently, pilots have special training for this airport.

[tw25rw]

No mountains at either end. The weather might make it interesting, being by the sea and having tropical extremes. Maybe Krabi has mountains?

777-300, on a short flght, woo thats odd.must be like a shuttle flight. love those rolls royce eng.

[BaRocks5]

Would a Jet filght quicker to its airport if it was lower?

[studioengineer]

No, the thinner air at altitude allows for a better true airspeed (TAS), thus resulting in a better ground speed.

Water, Water, and more WATER!! Haha anyways nice video i love the sound of those Trents

[addew2]

look you can see plants in the water amazing i dont like flying there though when i left it was so fuckin much turbulence

[impulze3]

beautiful aviation in the turn north to Bkk. Wonderful power.

The RR trent engines are the most complex with 3 shafts jet engines ever built. With all the titanium ingredients inside. Its always feel so safe to fly in a B777 even when its a full load. She is a really a work horse. Always can feel the over welhming feeling of the take off moment when you hear the RR engines spool as the combustion starts its beyond 100% trusting power for these large aircrafts.

Thai never uses GE's on the 777's they tend to use Rolls Royce Trents and answer to mdmnmdllr question that whistling noise is called a Spool up besides i being on Thai Airways international twice i being on 777-300 and 777-200ER.

cheers

[mdmnmdllr]

@mickfs2004 - Correct re: "spool up." Wasn't really asking so much as responding to someone else's question. Anyway ... choice of engine tends to a fleet issue. There will be mixing of makes, from time to time (sometimes there's no choice), but for the most part I believe airlines tend to generally go with the same make to the best possible extent as a matter of efficiency in maintenance.

[Manulifee]

Nothing to see, wasting time !

[SuperTeen15]

Is GE90-115B the most powerful jetengine in the world at the moment??

[jetengine7]

yes

[hydrogen800]

most powerful jet engine in commercial aviation industry.

[airasiax]

that engine isnt, no. but another one

[hydrogen800]

thx for the info yea. (:

[jm15697]

ive been to phuket 3 times i love the plane journey

[mdmnmdllr]

Correct on the -200 ... either an ER or older molder. Actually, the engine noise should give it away; only the RR Trent 1000s carried by those models makes that curious whistling noise. The 200LR and 300 series only mount GE90-115s, which do not.

[mdmnmdllr]

Correction - the Trents would be 875 or 885 model. The Trent 1000 has been designed for the 787, which just released this past Sunday.

[gtehran]

Its a shame I made this route at night... I couldnt see all this

[kosmosFL]

Was a TG 777-200 or -300?

[pbateson]

It is 777-200.

[thestigg61]

Been on that plain a few times myself its always a sad thing for me to leave Phuket and my tilak behind.

[likmahchoda]

Thankyou for not including a soundtrack like so many others do - jet engines themselves are music to my ears.

[777fred]

where are they then?

[Mango7]

Ge90s sound better :)

[777fred]

are you able to film takeoff and landing in 777 ?

[pbateson]

Yep

[spaluch1]

Man I love the sound of those Trents.

[Rakim8]

Thai need their new 777's badly.
