Takeoff from Denver

[TheConcorde777]

Nice takeoff

[firstclasspassenger]

I wonder why some pilots build up so much speed rolling down the runway before actually taking off? Not all pilots do this though, is it a matter of following a procedure?

[snowball787]

depends on weight onboard and a few other things, if the plane is heavy, it'll havev a faster v1, rotate, and v2 speed, so you'll see the plane goign faster on t/o, but on a lighter aircraft, it'll look real slow when it takes off. in denver its normal for a plane t ohave a really fast take off, because denvers elevation is 5000 feet, and the air is thinner, which requires more airspeed to take off

[guitarman1628]

if you notice, the runways at denver are longer. cause the air is thinner you gotta have a higher takeoff speed

[BATISTA9023]

They wanna make sure that they get enough speed to take off
