Heavy Takeoff! Lufthansa 747-8 Takeoff from San Francisco | D-ABYK 

What are you taking about? The engines are always loud in the seats beside, behind, and sometimes in front of the engines

@@Bootyavenger I absolutely disagreed. Behind the wings maybe louder in some airplanes, but it is not from the sound of the engine. It is mostly from the air flow or from the thrusts. Behind the wing is where the engines sound get muffled the most. The seats in front of the engines however, where you can see the fanblades slightly, is the best seat to listen to the CLEAREST engine sound. You are able to hear the crystal clear engine's sound buzzsaw there. (If the plane has it). You'll never hear it from behind the wing. You'll NEVER EVER EVER see a video title "Engine roar" video with a view from behind or in the middle of the wings seat. It's always the front of it. Try watching some videos like A330 or 757 take off, from in front and behind the wings and compare. Since those have very clear accent. If you don't believe me.

@@Odontomango Of course it’s louder. I worked on them for 31 years. They’re always louder, even on the 747-8

@@psrpippy What do you mean 31 years? The -8 type is barely over a decade old overall (2010). It came out right after 787-8 (2009). You mean the 747 in general?

@@Odontomango I meant exactly what i said in the comment. I worked on 747’s for 31 years, I flew on them, 100’s, 200’s, 400’s and as a passenger on the 800. What did you think I meant? They were all much louder from doors 2 back and even more so from over wing or doors 3.

Nah it doesn't work like that when taking off the 400 tons decreases because lift is generated and at rotation there is enough lift equal to the weight of the aircraft

@@xruud24 Study basic mechanics (forces and equilibrium).

@@TrollMeister_ bro you were embarrassing yourself

Lufthansa, Korean Air, Air China and Asiana still fly the 747. Because you don’t see them fly over your house doesn’t mean they’re not flying 🙄

come to hong kong or anchorage and you will get bored of 747's,theres so many operating in those airports

....Atlas Air, UPS, Polar Air Cargo, KLM, SilkWay, Cargolux, Singapore Airlines, ATC, Cathay Pacific, Kalitta Air.... and many more fly 747.

I thought it was because the plane was loaded with bricks

Not sure how they classify them now but it used to be based on the wake turbulence. 757s used to be considered "heavies" because of how ridiculously overpowered they are. I don't think ATC refers to them as heavies anymore.

Nowadays most videos has these nonsense captions on them. Even a regular Cessna 172 takeoff will be labelled as "HEAVY TAKEOFF" for the views and clicks

It really depends on if you're interpreting heavy as in close to the MTOW or heavy as in a widebody plane.

Every aircraft with a MTOW of more then 300000 lbs is called „heavy“. Doesn’t matter what the current weight actually is. Also at ATC, 747‘s are called heavy.

As an ex 747 pilot …. I’d say flying from San Francisco to Frankfurt with appx 100 tonnes of fuel on board, I would say it would be pretty heavy. I can’t think of many aircraft that would be a lot heavier …

The take off weight for exactly this flight was 390 337 kg (860546 lbs), is that enough for you?

Not a near miss, aircraft was still behind the hold short line

I experienced an actual near miss in real life in which my plane and another plane were both landing on intersecting runways at the same time.
