  • @We8City It does scare some people since it seems like the engines are shutting down, and I know I replied late but maybe you'll read it. The reason is that the pilots set the engines from T/O (TAKEOFF) THRUST TO CLB (CLIMB) THRUST which reduces unnecessary power and preserves engine life.

  • And I see the workers aren't wearing their anti-ingestion lanyards.

  • @We8City

    the pilot needs power but not as much because it's in the air so he might decrease the power slightly.

  • step in front of it, see what happens

  • @We8City They do that to save gas because they dont need takeoff thrust to climb.

  • @We8City has the plane leveled off?

  • @88mroux Oh. Lucky.

  • @MusicLover11325 No, i've seen it up a closer before when the engines were facing the sun. they do run clockwise instead of counter clockwise.

  • @We8City Engines will overheat N1 must reduce to about 80%. And speed is already exeeded it's limits about 250KTS under 10,000ft

  • @88mroux Or is it just your mind/eyes fooling you?
