Cockpit view of an Airbus take off from Phuket (Rwy 27), Thailand - HD

Rainy day again! Taxi out and take off from intersection 'Golf'. Flew right over the public beach at the end of the runway.

Seriously short take-off roll..... nice video

[BoeingJetJockey]

@TheEggler Thanks. It's a combination of...

-Headwind (otherwise we would probably takeoff from the opposite direction because it's closer (saves fuel))

-Light weight (domestic sector, light passenger and cargo load, light fuel)

-Down slope runway (faster accelerations)

-Higher thrust (usually we'll reduce the thrust setting to prolong engine life but on wet runway we can't reduce it as much as dry runway (because the longer stopping distance incase of abort take off))

[BoeingJetJockey]

@TheEggler BTW, if we use FULL thrust. We would've lift off by about half (or two third) distance of this one!

may i know the speed before it take off??

[BoeingJetJockey]

@ljanhong Speed at lift off would be around 260-300 km/h

(slower for a light-loaded domestic flight and faster for a heavy-loaded international flight)

Initial climb out (below 3,000') ~300+ km/h. Intermediate climb (3,000-10,000') ~460 km/h. Above 10,000' it would be close to 600 km/h. And during cruise the ground speed would be around 900 km/h (depend on winds).

Landing is around 230-260 km/h depend on weight, wind, flaps, etc.
