  • Powerback from gate is an authorized procedure in the DC-9 family of aircraft. No harm is done to the engines.

  • if it were a 727 it would have an engine in the tail?

  • @nikrox9 Yeah. 727's were tri holers. Like the DC-10. :)

  • @nikrox9 hes talking about the fucking plane in the background u tard

  • @ilf93dimarco he was talking about the plane in the background around 15 seconds

  • i dont think Delta allows that.

  • Charles Harison!!!!! Get ur ass over to the terminal

  • ok and look less off the engines and Delta now barely does the thrust reverse on them becuase it saves a lot of fuel and yeah it is hard on the engines doing that i would know i worked on them

  • @meteors6 How is it hard on the engines? In a powerback, they are using just enough thrust to make the plane move. When they use reverse thrust on landing, the engines are at full power.

  • @WarthogMist08 True enough, nevertheless I did once see a 737 use reverse thrust maneuvering on the apron at CFB Namao. I was only about seven at the time and was there with my dad. He still talks about it because at the time everyone there thought it was the damnedest thing they'd ever seen. The jet was in the orange Canadian Pacific Airlines livery but I don't to this day know why it was on the base nearly forty years ago. I also remember those silly five step escalators at YEG...

  • Seems dangerous. The plane moves forward before going back
