Due to the short runway at skiathos it was a full throttle takeoff.Also the plane cant takeoff with the amount of fuel needed to get back to the uk,so we had to re-fuel at Thessaloniki.not your usual type of flight!

  • @91Snyder Yes it was full power and yes it is a short runway, hence the description of the video. Any other ill informed comments from you will also be rubbished!

  • So u say that is a FULL POWER TAKEOFF... so i supose that the pilot says : Hello everyone we will make a Super mega Boost hiper mega Power Takeoff please record it.... pls i wanna see a real power takeoff

  • @M1gU3l4ndDo0 If you dont like it then dont watch it, and why would you waste your time posting a pointless comment like this. Go post your shit somewhere else.

  • Hey waterattack do me a favour and stop writing your bullshit on my post. Go and have childish rant somewhere else you jumped-up prick.

see all

  • @AlexKitch ht breaks and let go when the engines hit about %60 percent. Anyways, that's an entirely different plane, I suppose I was quite incorrect as the Airbus is a whole different bird. Thank you for pointing out my mistakes, and have a nice day. :)

  • @AlexKitch Absolutely, I see where you are coming from. I fly 737's for Continental, now United, specifically the 900/900 ER. We almost always use full power on takeoff to ensure that the engines are indeed spooling up properly during takeoff roll. With the new 737 NG's, there is a built in engine revolution manager which controls the rate at which the engines spool up.. I guess I forgot this was an A320 video.. I almost never set the parking break when taking off.. I just hold down slig

  • @asdfghjklsaab With all due respect, you're talking nonsense. It's standard procedure, wherever the conditions/facilities allow, to *not* use full power on take off, in order to save on engine wear and tear. To say "every T/O is full power" is inaccurate. Also, engines "spool up" at the same rate no matter how quickly you shove the throttle levers forwards. It's common to leave the parking brake set while the engines are spooling up - this pilot opted not to, anyway.

  • This is a full power tkae-off, if FSX tells you it isn't then go play a little more and you'll maybe learn that at Skiathos, for an A320, TO/GA power is requested

  • This DEFINATELY doesn't sound like FLEX thrust pilots usually use on takeoff. It's definately full power, TOGA! Ignore anyone else that attacks you for no reason :)

  • Hello there,

    First, nice video, I enjoyed the sounds.. I want to inform you, however, that every T/O is full power. Not using full power would mean the fan blades don't spool up fast enough, because the FMC would not register a quick need for power, therefore not providing a sharp increase in torque. However, you are right in saying that the engines did spool up incredibly quickly, to compensate for the short runway and the need for quick power. -Cheers

  • Wow thats awesome. I wish every flight I'm on would be full power takeoff. Acceleration is much quicker than the usual 85% used on takeoff.

  • @alan517815 Not really, when its not needed they dont use full power as it causes more stress to engines than lower power setting.

  • I love these sounds!, Great video!
