Kuwait Airways Airbus 300-600R Take-off without flaps from Kuwait

[HamburgMobile]

Captain: Where is the take off checklist? Co: Yesterday you had it. Captain: Mhh, ok, take off power set! -Just kidding. I know about 0 Flaps Takeoffs with the A300. Its not unusual

@HamburgMobile

Very nice. Thank you.

A300 is one of a number of aircraft certified for 0 flaps take-off. Fokker 100 is another type. Not in view here but slats on the leading edge would be deployed.

@82648947

Thank you very much.

[82648947]

See video " Kuwait Airways A300 Take OFF Runway 33L From Kuwait Airport", also no flaps. It is not unusual.

A300-A310 can fly no flaps without problem its known....

@Kliffy77

Kuwait Airways is full of surprises. One day the`ll fly without wings.

[guillermovidal1lfb]

@feldbergplateau1 , wow, You are very right!

[loopas1]

this is not the first time .....but maybe the airplan is too light !!!!!!

[emirates345]

i think the pilot forgot the flaps LOL!!! impossoble!!

[3624nathan]

Thats werd. 

[balajinaidoo]

if there is a lot of headwind then they dnt use flaps

its usual

[Ohgimmeabreakwillya]

@balajinaidoo dude you're joking right?...you have to extend flaps whatever the wind situation is..if you have a substantial headwind you simply go airborne earlier...

vansespeiris,in some way you should report this to Kuwait Airways - in case of bad weather this can lead to a disaster..like in 1987 in Detroit with a Northwest Md-82

[ADAM6145]

@Ohgimmeabreakwillya I fully agree. no matter what the flaps should be in the correct position

[Massimo2Milano]

lol the way it took off looks like it was ganna stall...but no flaps? since its kuwait airways u can expect flaps to not be working...:s

[MrPedoShine]

@Massimo2Milano not really since kuwait is super rich and by that you probably mean its a poor country and that they cant afford planes with working flaps rofl.

[tverskoe]

Strange without Flaps !

more speed to take off

[SimNico971]

I think the slats are extended

[dondycluck]

sound is awful but no-flaps is amazing!

[c152da42]

strange ??? i'm a first officer and i've never heard about that .. but may be the aircraft was very light ... the aircraft will take more ground roll and high rate of climb without flaps

Very nice ~~~
