Boeing 737-8EH PR-GTO RTO caused by “technical problems”. (Flaps were extended and retracted repeatedly before attempting the takeoff) GOL 7630 GRU-MVD 16/2/19 Replacement ac: PR-GUY
As a pilot I’ll tell you something shocking. We assume we may lose an engine or have an emergency on every takeoff. Part of our briefing is was discuss what we’ll do for each emergency before we take off. We have specific speeds calculated based on weight and weather that well stop on the runway vs takeoff and we calculate that for each and every flight. If we don’t lose an engine we just consider that a nicety. That’s just the mentality when flying.
Transmission operator here. NERC standard basically spells out that we must operate our system on an N-1 contingency. Which basically means normal conditions minus 1 severe event. So same thing as us really, for you it’s loss of an engine, for me it’s for loss of a line section or generator. You must always be prepared and operate as such.
@@rudolfreindeer1112 not sure how to respond to that. Yes cruise can be boring. But i wouldn’t attempt a landing or takeoff somewhere if I thought the outcome was in doubt so not sure I’d say it’s “tough”. Especially when you’re going into and out of the same places all the time takeoff and landing can be repetitive. More challenge is different weather, congestion etc
I’ve been on one, and I kind of weirdly enjoyed the experience instead of freaking out. Lots of folks disembarked when the engineers came on board for maintenance. We took off 30mins later. It was the first flight that morning out of Lagos to Kano Nigeria 2014.
@@streammlock09 Please don't 😭. I was on a Dana Air flight a couple years before that fateful one in 2012, same aircraft type (no idea if it was the same one, but it was into Lagos from Abuja). A close family friend died on that flight. 😔
That's incredible! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
I spent a few years traveling almost every week and in a few hundred flights I have only experienced a single rejected take off. It really takes you off guard, you aren't expecting to suddenly brake hard. I'm still hoping to have a go around some day.
I once had a go around in heavy fog. Right when I saw the ground (i.e. very low altitude) we had what I feel like was an aggressive go around, due to the runway being blocked by another aircraft. Still to this day I wonder how close we came to crashing into that aircraft
@@evs251 did you ever google if there was an incident related to your flight number? I'm not an expert but I'd assume something like this had to be reported, maybe it never got any public attention though.
@@the_bottomfragger Hmm I actually never looked up the flight number. I have looked the incidents of the carrier I used and there is nothing regarding my flight. So I'm most likely just being dramatic lol. Maybe the aircraft that was "blocking the runway" was just too far into the hold short line or was just turning into a taxiway
ive never been on a plane that had an rto, but just knowing how much the takeoff pushes you back in your seat and seeing how slow the acceleration is compared to the deceleration, I can only imagine how much it throws you around
The way the camera jerked it seemed like maybe a turbine failure or compressor stall on the other engine. Glad the pilots reacted quickly and kept everyone safe.
Hello Moro0624 , is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
@@sir.cheese7963 Not without permission from the copyright holder. I constantly have to report illegal copies of my video of a rejected take-off to RU-vid. They take down the illegal copy within hours. Repeat offenders get their channel taken down.
For everyone clueless. You have 3 speeds on take off: V1, VR, V2. V1 is your decision speed, if something doesn't look right this is where you decide to continue or not. VR is your rotation speed (speed in which you raise the nose). Finally V2 is where you are off the ground. After V1 usually you have to commit to the take off and deal with the situation in the air. Cuz you are too fast and probably too heavy to make a safe and effective rejection of the take off.
V2 is the climb out speed with one engine failed. The actual climb out speed is usually 10-20 above this. V1 is your final decision speed, past that, you have to continue...no "usually" about it! :)
@@j4cko56 737 is v2+20 for initial.. the Cessna cj3 is 140. The e145 is v2 +10-15 and the dch-8 was v2 +10. That's all my "big" plane knowledge for now till I go to a new plane...
A little more clarification: the decision has already been made. V1 is the go/no-go speed. If something happens under that speed you reject the takeoff and stop. If something happens at or above that speed you takeoff. The point is, pilots already made a decision about what to do before they taxied into the runway. V1 is just the delineation between the two outcomes.
Yep, no way those are the flight spoilers designed to deploy and spoil the airflow over the wing and decrease lift whilst increasing drag to improve the braking performance in any way. Boeing would never do that!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking....I do sincerely apologize, but I really gotta drop a deuce... There's a always next time. My case,I can't afford another pair of slacks. That burrito was rough!!!!
If I were you with a rejected takeoff and technicians coming on board, there would be no fucking chance I would stay in that plane. You have to check the signs brrrro
Not a blown tire, that’s what happens when you apply maximum wheel brakes at the same time as the thrust is cut and spoilers deployed. You go from being pulled hard back against the seat to being thrown forward.
@@mikehunter1483 Actually RTO setting on the autobrakes will have done the job of making sure the wheels didn´t slip while ensuring maximun braking performace, specially during wet conditions.
I would be scared that the reason for sudden T/O rejection is for example another plane that crossed the runway and, having no sight of what is going on in front of us, we would end up like another Los Rodeos disaster
Yeah a lot of factors lead to that disaster not including the heavy fog. From the video the weather looked overcast but pilots should have had clear view of the runway.
We experienced a rejected take-off due to bird-strike a couple of years ago. Scary. The G-forces as the crew hit the anchors was impressive. Actually caught the bird entering the engine on video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G5o0E5l_mxY.html
they dont "test" the plane by aborting a take off, when there are passengers on board. NO form of testing is done with civilian passengers on board. Stop spreading misinformation.
