"Looks pretty stable to me"

During takeoff, throttles are advanced to 60-70% power to stabilize the engines for takeoff. Once stable, the pilot presses the Takeoff/Go-Around (TOGA) switches on the throttle, then the computer takes over and spools up the engines to computed thrust setting based on runway length, atmosphere, weight, etc.

"Thrust-ref, TOGA, TOGA"..."Check"

Copilot verifies activation of the TOGA switches and computer has control. Pilot confirms.

what language are you writing in pilot? ghetto language?

couldn't agree with deephesh more, it's clearly a 747

[ckrailvideo]

@deepesh9097 Ummm.. that's very clearly a 747-400.

[Kenny9131991]

@deepesh9097 Look at the center display. Four engine indications. That would be a 747.

[deepesh9097]

It is not a Boeing 747-400,it is single aisle twin jet engine airplane,see the throttle levers,Boeing 747 has FOUR throttle levers

@undpilot87 Save for regional jets such as the CRJ-200&700, as well as the Emb-145 which due to their weight restrictions combined with weather and runway lengths at various airports, often do use Full Power takeoffs. Hence why many regional carriers require the crew to identify whether the takeoff was a Full or Flex power takeoff. But they will reduce power after the set positive rate of climb has been achieved.

@squiddy820 Generally speaking yes.

@squiddy820

Correct. In fact, if the throttles are let back before V1, the autobrake will kick-in and help stop the plane. After V1, the plane is going too fast and used up too much runway to stop, so it's committed for takeoff. It's standard procedure for the pilot to remove his hand from the throttles at V1 and place it on the yoke. You can see this at 1:23

what airline is this???

how do they know how much to rotate w/o hitting the rear fuselage...
