well, Viceroy, thanks for illustrating your ignorance. Its the weight/ power ratio that matters. How many times have you ridden in the French POS? I have ridden out of Frankfurt on a cool day (at 630 ASL, therefore no density altitude issues) on several A340's and seen climb performance that barely matches a Cessna. How many times have you ridden in the cockpit of a 777? and witnessed the climb rate? How about the A 340?
Cool video, unfortunately the A 340 is an underpowered POS with poorly engineered cabins, and an air conditioning system that makes the areas over the wings uncomfortably warm for the passengers. Another French POS !
@markdafedman . I don't think with225,000 Ibs of thrust available, makes it underpowered. The 700 -300ER Boeing has max 230,000 when its not eating up its gearboxes - and no one says that's underpowered.
@markdafedman: biased nonsense. No underpower involved on A340-500/600. I had a comfortable flight at 25a on a Lufthansa flight. And it is not a French POS (whatever this means) but a great engineered European plane (wings are from the UK, tail and parts of the fuselage from Germany, engines from the UK, cockpit displays from Italy, slats from NL etc. Next time, please post some arguments.
I can send you copies of the departure FP/ ICAO card for this aircraft on this day with a time stamp and my visitor's pass if it so pleases you, Mr Skeptic.
Because at Quito... you don't achieve positive rate as quickly as you do at lower elevations so the gear has to be extended longer. Quito is at 10,000ft!! You can't retract the gear until you have absolute positive rate.
no u understand me wrongly, that pilot retract gear when becomes airborne but as u can see in the video gate's of the gear opens so slowly and gear slowly comes up, in B747s it is faster, I'm telling u that it makes speed and fuel lost for the plane. I don no why airbus didn't thought about this, maybe they thought but they couldn't done faster. :S I don no :S

An Airbus A310 from Yemen with more than 150 people on board crashed into choppy seas as it came in to land on the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros on Tuesday, officials said.
Another Airbus jet falls apart in midair!!! I only fly Boeing jets!!!
are you dumb or something? do you know how many boeing aircraft have crashed since boeing started puttin 'em on air? more than 3 times as airbus... besides, a crash has nothing to do with the manufacturer, only the airline manteinance is what determines a falilure...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't believe you twat wads are actually debating whether this plane is a 747 or A340. The video is clearly miss titled. It is a 747, which is the most beautiful aircraft designed Awuma. I feel so strongly about that I would let the plane board me...747 times.
Iberia doesn't even fly 747's anyway so there's no argument there.
A 747 has the obvious 2nd deck hump, a way less cambered wing structure, and truncated empennage . Plus the 747 takes much longer time to rotate than the '340 did here.
The A340-600HGW is powered by four 60,000 lbf (267 kN) thrust Rolls-Royce Trent 560 turbofans which you see here. You can also see the "RR" logo on the nacelles.
LMFAO!! kingschoolsfanboy69, you are a fucking moron. This is clearly an Airbus A300, and not a boing 747. Why don't you keep your ignorant comments to yourself you 'MEL' (mastrubating emo-rock lover).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
McExpert, you are extremely ignorant and probably incompetent as an aviator. An A300 has three engines (two on the wings, and one on the belly). I feel sorry for you though. You seem to have experienced some sort of trauma, maybe from a bad TAF (Total Ass Fucking)?
kingschoolsfanboy69, you are what we pilots call an 'MCA' (man cock acceptor). Also known as a 'METAR' (Male Erogenous Testicle and Ass Romancer). I hope you don't come anywhere near me. If we ever are unfortunate enough to meet in public, you'd better maintain visual separation from my restricted area, because if you don't, you might as well Squawk 7800 (face getting punched repeatedly).
Hey kingschoolsfanboy69, bet you would like to 69 with Martha King, why don't you and Kingschools get a room, YOU are the twat wad AND a douche nozzle, I might ad. You are what US pilots call a "fucking retard."
Or like behind a boat - the larger and heavier the plane - the greater the wake. When a plane makes a hard turn or any other maneuver that pulls "Gs" the wake becomes even more significant. A HUGE plane like the A340 makes a HUGE wake - like two counter-rotating tornadoes coming off the wing tips.
Before the airport was moved from Mueller - a friend of mine lived directly in the flight path. When a plane would fly over for landing - on a quiet night sometimes you could actually hear the wake turbulence - about 10 or 15 seconds after the plane passed over - you could hear a weird swishing sound and the treetops would sway for a little while.
Dude, if you pause the video at 31 seconds you can see some asshole in the 5th row sparking up a bowl. This is clearly a violtation of FAR 91.114. And if you unpause you can see the screen start to shake around, talk about wake turbulence but you also have to consider the poor piloting skills as well. This pilot obviously doesn't have the new version of microsoft flight simulator like the one all you douche nozzles have, yay more ignorant comments from the sidelines, great job guys!!!!! YAY!
Alright now BlogLegend, don't be such a 'MAP' (Midget Asshole Penismuncher). We're all trying to have a serious aeronautical discussion here, and you have to come trample on it. I have no choice but to tell you that you sir are a genuine bonafide tomato flamer!
No, I'm sorry we have a missunderstanging. I wasn't calling this airplane a Cessna 747, I was calling it a Boeing 747, which has five times the horsepower of a cessna 747. I just want to make sure we're on the same page....
Only the turbocharged Boeing 747s have 5 times the horsepower of the Cessna version. The naturally aspirated Boeing 747 hardly makes enough power to pull your head out of your ass
Actually, there are a number of commercial airports (and numerous military air bases) that have runways in excess of 14,000 ft. In the United States, JFK, McCarren International (Vegas) and Denver International all have runways that exceed 14,000 feet. Runway 16R/34L in Denver is 16,000 feet.
Yhea, but what you have to realize is that when a 747 like this one takes off, it needs only about 2500 feet for takeoff. This of course, is because the engines generate more horsepower than five cessna 747s put together. He shouldn't have used that much runway. Very poor piloting skills.
I think you have confused the A340-600 with the A380. The A340 is a little smaller than a B747, with similar engines. The A380 has the giant engines, as does the B777 and A330.
You are correct - the A380 is truly monster sized. I thought this video was of that plane.
I obviously am not so well acquainted with the Airbus line of aircraft. (Although I can identify just about everything Boeing and Douglas built all the way back to 1945)
Jeez, I thought the cameraman was going to flying. The turbulence is real, but jetliner wingtip vortices have caused even large planes to crash, so this video is a bit underwhelming.
i think the airbus it's self created a wake turbulance , but if so this is something that concerns the very next planes that will take off not the airbus itself.
See all the debris flying around and hear all the air moving around as the aircraft passes the cameras position between 0:35 - 0:45??? That's the airplane moving massive amounts of air causing a turbulent flow of air behind it, also known as... wake turbulence.
If I drove a car past the camera debris could fly around also. I'm no aviation expert but I bet the debris is just from the engines or the plane passing at a high speed??
Google "Wingtip Vortices" and then google "Wake Turbulence" If you want a visual, Google Image "Wake Vortex" Then, come back here and watch the video again.
how'd you get so freekin close.! guaranteed there was some turbulence , the most important of which are wingtip vortices and jetwash. no moisture (or smoke) = no sight of anything except some blowing particles in wind and powerful engines. Rename video -
You can't see turbulence.. unless you have a huge smoke screen.
Otherwise the wake turbulence is the WIND NOISE you hear... Notice the delay between the airplane passing the stationary camera and the wind hitting it.. that is the wake vortex created by the wings, maybe a little jet wash too.
superb video, i,m not sure though how you and a friend got clearance to video. I work in aviation and the security is very strict indeed, there are all kinds of checks needed before you can go airside to work never mind film. i am not dis-respecting you i find your video amazing. you obviously must work there or something because you cant just have clearance to film like that.
so what happened to the one that got stuck in the mud, last i heard it wasn´t airworthy anymore so they had to let it there in Quito. Such a waste, it was spanking new.
OK people, I had so much fun reading all the comments and will post my own.
When I filmed this video, I was standing inside the airport about 100 feet from the runway edge (a friend of mine, and I had special clearance for that).
The video is real. When you have over 4700sq.ft. of wings generating lift some 50 feet away, you tend to lose your balance when the wake of this monster flies by you, plus I had so much grass flying at me that I had to rotate my head away from it. Cheers.
it's not wake turbulence, probably jet wash, the plane rotates at the point of the observer if there is no lift, there is no induced drag (no vortices). And the vortices separate from each other with 10 knots so it could never reached him
In order to produce wake turbulence you have to produce lift and to produce lift you have to be off the ground. I can't see how the jet could do that at the location of the camera.
note this video is in Quito, Ecuador, what a huge aircraft, it needs full throttle, Quito is located 2800 meters above sea level, turbofan motors does not have good performance at this height.
I thought turbulance is the deflected air of another plane which should only occur in the air. Cross winds are winds on the runway and ot near the runway. In this case all those dumbasses out there think that a crosswind landing is a bad landing, they need to learn
Anyone who thinks this is fake, go to your nearest eye doctor and get your eyes tested, as your seeing things that are not there, besides there is no good scenery for Quito especially for FSX which i have. Not even the best hollywood video shoppers could get the sound right, as you would have to record an actual A340-600 taking off at quito and at such close range, This is real and a very good video at that, The A340-600 is a majestic plane.

OK people, I had so much fun reading all the comments and will post my own.
When I filmed this video, I was standing inside the airport about 100 feet from the runway edge (a friend of mine, and I had special clearance for that).
The video is real. When you have over 4700sq.ft. of wings generating lift some 50 feet away, you tend to lose your balance when the wake of this monster flies by you, plus I had so much grass flying at me that I had to rotate my head away from it. Cheers.

It's funny some people can't just look up to the right up there and read the video description.
But to save you some valuable seconds,
1.Yes it's Quito
2. Yes it's an A-340-600
(Iberia also flies -300's as well)
3. Wake turb. can be any kind of vortice disturbance from the WAKE of a jet.
4. No it's not fucking fake ya morons who say it is.
I mean, if you can't tell the difference between MSFS and the real thing, you either need glasses or there's just no hope for your intellect.

It's an A340, not an A380. An A380 has two levels to it.

it's not wake turbulence, probably jet wash, the plane rotates at the point of the observer if there is no lift, there is no induced drag (no vortices). And the vortices separate from each other with 10 knots so it could never reached him
eadssocatatb10 3 years ago
Is this the same that crashed in Quito Airport I wonder?
Grant0610 3 years ago
In order to produce wake turbulence you have to produce lift and to produce lift you have to be off the ground. I can't see how the jet could do that at the location of the camera.

note this video is in Quito, Ecuador, what a huge aircraft, it needs full throttle, Quito is located 2800 meters above sea level, turbofan motors does not have good performance at this height.

Where are the turbulences !?
christian031978 3 years ago
Does anyone know what turbulance even is????? its most likely crosswinds
MNSLproductions 3 years ago
Turbulence is pockets of bad air, or air that is swirling and causes an aircraft to rise or fall, sharply not smoothly. It is also fast moving air.
nightfox 3 years ago
I thought turbulance is the deflected air of another plane which should only occur in the air. Cross winds are winds on the runway and ot near the runway. In this case all those dumbasses out there think that a crosswind landing is a bad landing, they need to learn
MNSLproductions 3 years ago
THat is wake turbulence your thinking of, there is other forms of turbulence caused by different things such as storms.
nightfox 3 years ago
thats my point
MNSLproductions 3 years ago
Wake Turbulence is just one kind, there are other reasons that cause turbulence.
nightfox 3 years ago
wake turbulance is caused by the wing tip vorticies created as a large, heavy aircraft rotates.

Anyone who thinks this is fake, go to your nearest eye doctor and get your eyes tested, as your seeing things that are not there, besides there is no good scenery for Quito especially for FSX which i have. Not even the best hollywood video shoppers could get the sound right, as you would have to record an actual A340-600 taking off at quito and at such close range, This is real and a very good video at that, The A340-600 is a majestic plane.
