Hello everyone and how do you do? This short clip shows you what is going on during the takeoff from lining up on the runway to the initial safety altitude of 400 feet.
From setting the thrust for takeoff to 400 feet takes about 90 seconds but it is a critical period where there is maximum concentration required from the pilots. We will be watching, listening, maintaining directional control, monitoring speed, EICAS, Engine instruments, other traffic, birds, unusual noises…
At any moment before V1 speed, we could reject the takeoff and take actions to bring the aircraft to a stop. It could result in an evacuation or a simple return to the departure gate. Four hundred feet is the standard minimum safety altitude after takeoff for pilots to resolve any malfunctions that may have occurred during the Takeoff. I mention the Rapid Eye Movement in the caption because I’d like you to watch my eyes during the takeoff until liftoff.
Hope you like it. Chi Di Gin! Later✈✈✈✈
