SQ22: Longest Takeoff run of a commercial passenger flight?

[jonahair747]

Climbing like a sick angel.

[bambang303378]

Is this true that for this route they are all business class? I flew this route twice in 05 and 07 they still had economy class back then.

[wowdude999]

@bambang303378 Yes, now configured with 100 business class seats.

[rraphaelj]

Why not use all the runway you can get when it is available? I do not think that this is unusual.

[bermudaguy1]

iS THE RUNWAY AT HIGH ALTITUDE?

[lolvks]

@bermudaguy1 No, the airport is near sea level (22' MSL)

[theIDKer]

i'd say aboout 54 seconds

[TheZuriel01]

the plane sopus to put up on 1:27

[MyPilot747]

50 secs

[Tecnigod]

I think I have seen a longer takeoff run on youtube of an Aerolineas Argentinas B747 taking off from Buenos aires to Madrid but would have to search and check it up again to confirm. Anyway cool vid. :)

[pacidessi]

@ThrogsNck LOL

[ThrogsNck]

This is Flight sim. Not real.

[ghettoperson257]

@ThrogsNck no its not because if it was FSX you would see graphic, and if you look THERE ARE NO GRAPHICS!

[Apexpresident]

@ThrogsNck Of course it's real!

[FerrariBoeing]

@ThrogsNck its quite easy to see that it is real...

[ArcticEwi]

Top Notch Video!

[Krulle27]

Captain, rotate. Hello...rotate...ROTATE!!!! Mmhh?? Sorry, was sleeping.

[kingkoolkata]

I'm glad that earth has got a curvature, otherwhise this heavy A345 would never leave the ground :D

[FerrariBoeing]

@kingkoolkata LoL

[ShortyTXL]

I´m not that very sure, but last year we took off from Narita in a fully loaded A346. And we went all the way down from one set of piano keys to the other one. And Rwy 16R in Narita is 4000 meters long. So I would suppose it a was longer takoff run.

[wizzair1313]

thats crazy! yeah i would probably think we where going to overrun the runway!

[trent8002003]

Very long indeed. Almost a minute. Initial rolling was indeed sluggish. What do we expect? 18 hrs in the air. Even the septic tanks must be filled with fuel.

[ashfaqul11]

It didn't seem that long, just normal, ive been on longer take off runs on an SQ B772 from adelaide to singapore

[CamShaft200]

rotate.....Rotate......ROTATE!­!!

[hotelgulf]

The ac is very heavy. You can see the heavy and slow flex of the wingtip on takeoff roll. Nice footage!

[elyasf]

The slow climb is due to safety reasons. The plane is enourmesly heavy with extremely much fuel on board, therefor, they have to maintain an above safety speed, so if a emergency accure, they have plenty of speed. And that's the reason why so low angle of attack.

It's not a problem for the A340-500 to climb faster than this, it got 4 Trent 500 engines wich produces over 60,000lb each. This baby is runnin fiine!!

Good video too m8 :)

[samueltanjk]

this is a 18 hrs flight of cause its a long run

[crayz745]

those engines are straining! very powerful

[mickithebush]

seemed to me to be a fairly average takeoff roll for a plane that size...not really unusual.

[elyasf]

I backed a cake, took a cup off cofee and took a nap before this plane took off...

[rsmig29]

Wow this brings back memories...this was the very first and last Airbus I flew...During transition training, on very first take off run in the sim, I was convinced something was wrong and aborted... just cause it took so damn long to reach V1, and Vr...LMAO....good video...

[peraviation365]

That was the longest takeoff i ever seen!! And 5 Stars too! And this route is over my hometown!!!

[seatgurus]

this one took 53 seconds. the airbus 380 i was in (the day after the biggest blizzard in new york - fully loaded with pax) from a flight to dubai on emirates was 1:00 Takeoff Roll Time: Airbus A380, A330-200, Boeing 777-300 & 737-800 (bottom right) or you can see the entire takeoff here if you do a search for - Inflight Airbus A380-800 Experience on Emirates - Part 1

[nya13]

That plane was speeding! Way over the speed limit!!

[jetfreak4]

Very long indeed, but not the longest I've ever seen. The A340-300 and A340-200 have done the longest take-off rolls I've ever seen. Look up some Royal Jordanian takeoffs of A340s from Amman to Chicago. Those takeoffs are over a minute long.

[6V92TA]

well for an 18 hour nonstop flight, that A340's gunna use up some room to get off the ground. Its normal. The 747 does the samething when fully loaded.

[xxquiker]

lol of course its a long run, imagine all the fuel onboard to make the worlds longest flight possible

[dave4shmups]

I would think that the hot and humid weather in Singapore would also have something to do with this long takeoff run.

[Captain868]

Id be scared sitting on the plane thinking why the plane isn't taking off

[jetfreak4]

@Captain868 I wouldn't. The long takeoff roll makes perfect sense. It is a very large plane loaded to near its maximum range and flying nonstop from Singapore to Newark. On a heavy plane like this, they probably would use all the runway available to them not only to get off the ground, but also to maximize efficiency and to make it easier on the plane. As long as this takeoff was, they likely did not use maximum thrust. Probably 90%. As far as the climb, again, heavy.

[ashfaqul11]

@Captain868 "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, due to technical issues, we will be taxing to our destination, thank you"

[fsxpilot21]

This is the second longest takeoff Ive seen, Longest was a Qantas 747-400 departing runway 16R used almost all the runway.. but this one is a close second! and great video man

[jetfreak4]

@fsxpilot21 The longest I've ever seen would have to be either a Lufthansa A340-300 (not an x version, but with the less powerful engines), and the second would have to be an Iran Air 747 classic taking off in the desert/mountainous region of Tehran. Both takeoffs were over a minute long, several seconds longer than this. A low thrust-to-weight ratio plus a takeoff speed of 180 mph (required for both A340 and 747) lead to longer takeoffs and slower climbs, but allow for higher cruise speeds.

[Jabid21]

World's longest commercial flight with the longest takeoff run..... Makes sense. Maybe it's because the a345 is a heavy aircraft and considering all the fuel it's carrying, the takeoff run should be this long.

[MyEmpire91]

yeah the a340 needs his time

[seno862]

almost a whole minute takeoff run:P

Must be that long for a flight from Singapore to Newark:P

[borisl2]

Normal time for a long haul flight

[brickbuilder711]

Great video. My Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 flight to Frankfurt-Am-Main took about the same time from KMIA, maybe slightly less. But these airbuses have slow climbs, and it's for the fuel economy.

[lehustler123]

its a normal take off for this looonnggg flight

[deedx]

veeery heavy ! about 53 seconds to get off the ground...and slow climb

[DAIRX]

@deedx when do you begin to count the takeoff run?

[Winglets68]

@DAIRX But the thing is A340-500/600s take forever to takeoff because they are really long planes and they need a lot of lift so rotation isnt steep

[Winglets68]

@DAIRX But the thing is A340-500/600s take forever to takeoff because they are really long planes and they need a lot of lift so rotation isnt steep. And i confirm that i got 54 seconds

[epten]

@DAIRX when the windows begun shaking?

[asharwin930]

@DAIRX he started counting when the engines went to full power and as soon as the plane started rotating. (the sound of the engines slightly changing)

[deedx]

@deedx I begin at almost 0:48....don't know...

[FrisoLustig]

@deedx: if you have 18 hours flying in front of you, I would climb slowly too!

[phatcarz]

amzaing video

that was a looooonnnnnnnnnggggg take off

[BigSam3788]

1:35 is a VERY long takeoff! Do you know what the temperature was there when you left?

[DAIRX]

@BigSam3788 i don`t know exactly. it was end of july 2010 and the departure time was about 1pm - as I arrived at the airport it was a very nice and warm day in singapore :-) but the altitude of this airport is low..... so i think the long takeoffrun was due to the heavy aircraft

[AF401]

@DAIRX Temperature has a role in takeoff run and in the whole aircraft's performance.

The colder it gets, the better performance the aircraft has, and less runway length needed

[ZA1Nable]

@BigSam3788 july 2010 - at least 35 celsius. I live here, I'd know

[airbuntie]

Great video.

How long is the flight from Singapore to Newark?

[phatcarz]

@airbuntie 18 hours 53 mins

Its the worlds Longgest commerical flight

[airbuntie]

@phatcarz Thnaks!

[Fly4U]

Wow, nearly as long as my MD-90 take-off in KDEN :)

[Nickolas920302]

the airplane is extreamly heavy so, not to strange

[pbateson]

IL96 and IL86 also longest takeoff run

[Chekaz1]

du bist schon wieder mit der sq 22 geflogen ? cool =)

das dauert echt lang !!!

sehr gutes video am ende dacht ich der überschiesst die bahn XD

[13BigLu13]

alteeeer wie lang ist das denn? HEB ENDLICH AB!!!!!! naja die werden schon ihre gründe haben... ;)

kurze frage: was machst du eigentlich beruflich, dass du soviel herumkommst und fliegst?

[DAIRX]

@13BigLu13 ich bin spion

[KickUrToe]

@DAIRX Idiot.....so you think all planes rotate like 10 seconds?
