Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 take off from Sacramento SMF

[artistgmg]

The spoilers are used by the autopilot to control roll inputs when the wing leveler is selected. When spoilers are used in this fashion they are referred to as "differential spoilers".

[snuffy525]

Spoilers aid the turn?? who the fuck told you that?? Obama?? even a caveman would know better than that!! besides if you saved 15% from Geico, they would know that too,

[snuffy525]

Spoilers extended during takeoff must have been a mistake, those dont do much to control an aircraft, just slows it for landing speed.

[dylanhelmer]

thats not spoiler, he just applied more force on the yoke to turn the aircraft, most likely the force of the wind speed was pushing him, using rudder and aileron to keep straight

i make many trips throught the year.....next month i will make the trip from chicago to sacramento....i make many trips from chicago to LAX bout 6 times a year

My favorite plane and my favorite airport in one video

[StatingPanic]

Depends on where you are sitting too. I was on a -700 a couple months ago. First flight I was sitting right behind the wing and the flaps were pretty loud. On my return flight I was towards the front and you could barely here them extend.

[AcousticCat2]

K, the 100/200 you can see the back of the engine sticking out the rear of the wing. Engine similar to an old dc-9 engine.

Also the flaps are loud on all classic series 737's. Listen to the landing in my vid. I was on a 737-400. They are only quiet on "new generation" series. 200's wings are smoother looking and not as busy on top.

This is definitely a 300/400.

[RanDoMkId73]

Also, the newer ones have the winglets on the end of the wings. This one doesn't.

[johnwarman54]

dud that's a 200!

[cubsrule2040]

no, it's a 300

[groomlakealien]

It could be one of their 735's...

[Dmonk08]

always remember, SW is too cheap to let their planes fall from the sky ;p

[speedbird1123]

I flew on a 737-300 with southwest to baltimore, on the way back a 737-700. It was no bumpier on the -300. The 737-700 was a little faster though...

[jxxjxx]

I hate 737-200, it made me feel like riding a mad horse during take off.

[mkm230]

Actually, all 732's were gone when this video was taken. It was probably a 733.

[aviationbob]

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

[wlewis06]

Southwest was not flying any B737-200s in 2006. mkm230 is right - it is was likely a 737-300.

[clof2001]

I think it was a 200. The retraction of the flaps are really loud...you can barely hear them in the later models...plus look at all of the residue on the wings, it's definitely been around a while

[groomlakealien]

listen, 200's were gone when this video was taken, the 200's wings look different, and you can hear the flaps in the 500 and 700.

[cubsrule2040]

the flaps on the 700 are low-pitched and sound nothing like the ones here

[groomlakealien]

I know, this is not a 700

[cubsrule2040]

I heard the sounds of the flaps on the -700 in person when I flew to Seattle, and they are low-pitched

[Aznknight28]

as far as the spoilers coming up during take off, only that spoiler on the left side of the airplane came up to assist in turning the aircraft, cause the pilot had to pull the yoke hard right to straighten out cause of crosswind. if you look closely at the ailerons at that moment, you can see the aileron on that side go up at the same time the spoilers do, if you were on the right wing, you would not see the spoilers go up at all

[boeing737swa]

No, spoilers on either side of the wing come up as needed right or left it dosn't matter.

[Aznknight28]

Well, in comment to your last comment, as one aileron goes up, the opposite aileron goes down, causing the plane to roll, and as far as the spoilers, they do not all have to go up at the same time, there are flight spoilers that go up in flight if you need to decrease your altitude, they are the most outboard spoilers, and then there are ground spoilers which are only available after the plane hits the runway, then they all go up to slow the airplane down and spoil the airflow over the wing

[DVApilot]

Both ailerons and spoilers should come up. Wierd!

[surferdude88]

window seats are always the best, but this one sucks! lOl.

[guitarman141516]

it looks like the wing is in bad shape

[sacpilot]

The wing is just dirty. Aerodynamically and structurally it's in perfect condition. You'd notice if it wasn't!

[enigma800]

That was interesting...why would the spoilers come up on takeoff?

[amroth26]

Windy conditions! Using spoilers to control the plane! First time I've seen myself after flying so many times. Usually using ailerons at the end of the wing.

[enigma800]

Thanks!

[N53614]

The spoilers pop up to assist in turning the plane...say you're turnilg left. If you turn the yoke far enough left, the spoilers on the left wing pop up.

[RBLXMilitaryCore]

@enigma800 I noticed.

[longlivethe80s]

that was awsome!
