@khourykarim Since it's a test flight so they want to test and push the aircraft.

when i was a kid, my father took me see inside 747, dc10, airbus a300, Fokker, cockpits, he was avionic engineer, i love planes.

@shahrzad70 That's great to hear! I am glad that you have a passion for aviation. Out of all the planes you named I like the A300 best. I think that it is awesome that you were able to get that type of exposure from your father when you were younger.

to aviationnationtv: why is he not putting the landing gears up?

[AviationNationTV]

@shahrzad70 He didn't because they want to test the plane's characteristics with the landing gear out

@ImmortalSynn ahhh, i did not know that

@PROTOKALL

Flaps are partially down during takeoff to create increased lift, while limiting the drag of being fully extended.

[PROTOKALL]

why does he have flaps down on take off?
