WN3582 AUS-TPA 3/10/2008 Flying as a school group to Florida.

I noticed that the spoilers on both sides of the plane were partially extended during takeoff.

  • @TheBoeing727man yes it was good ole 35R..

  • Great Video, you took off on 35R by the way if you did not know.

    5 Stars!

  • It mainly keeps the plane on centerline during the takeoff roll, and as the wing develops the lift needed for flight, the "crosswind correction" as it's called is gradually rolled out allowing the airplane to "rotate" or lift off. If it is not rolled out, one wing would develop lift and cause the other to go into the ground...a messy situation...

  • nice take off

  • that is perfectly normal, at low speeds (such as takeoff) the spoilers assist the ailerons in turns and during a crosswind takeoff, (and landing) they come up with the aileron, but not at the same time on both sides as you state. Crummy weather!!!
