That's no computer, that's the pilot. You don't want to put in more than about 2 units of correction, otherwise your performance suffers. I spent 6 years flying the 744 and 748.
@@bobboberson2024 There are feel computers to provide hydraulic pressure, they won’t stop at dangerous AoA etc. like an Airbus does especially not doing there own thing during takeoff-roll to stabilize. All seen in this video are manual inputs from the PF.
Just a couple of observations from a now semi ancient pilot with 18527hrs on various versions of the 747. The aircraft is clearly very light given the short take off roll but probably full of fuel looking at the wings. Lots of crosswind from the left. Directional control on initial part of take off roll is using the nose wheel with the tiller beside the pilot. Quite normal and necessary until the rudder starts to take effect as the air speed builds. Uses full rudder deflection to counter the weather vane effect of the crosswind especially on the fin. Normal procedure to rotate to target pitch attitude slightly faster for a positive lift off in a strong crosswind. Interestingly the pilot flying does not allow the nose to weathervane into the wind on liftoff to maintain the centre line but then does correct the drift as he starts to clean up the aircraft after lift off. Strictly speaking a bit sloppy. Great camera work. What airport is this.
The aircraft could not depart if it was “tail heavy” (which according pilot inputs was actually trimmed to the correct CG) It may however be heavier than expected with Vr possibly being set too low requiring a bit more pitch up than normal and the tail getting close to the ground. Any weight discrepancies were obviously well within safe limits as it departed with plenty of runway left and good rate of climb.
I do believe this is the first video that I've ever seen where you can clearly see the nose-wheel working. On top of that, it's free of irrelevant music and dumbass Ai voices. Good job.
It’s nothing to do with inertial guidance or computers - the autopilot is not engaged during the takeoff roll. These are manual flight control inputs by the pilot flying.
Amazing to watch the pilot input the crosswind corrections with the left ailerons/spoilerons along with right rudder. Sweet takeoff and great catch!
You weren't kidding about the tail heavy!
What does tail heavy mean, aircraft out of balance? The caption makes no sense.
Amazing capture 👏
Queen ❤
I like how the computer was compensating while still on the ground: the left spoilerons and flaperon already engaged. Great shot.

@@CSkyhawk722 The pilot moves the yoke, pedals. But the computer controls the surfaces. Soon we won’t need pilots at all! Damn!!
@@bobboberson2024There‘s no computer between pilot inputs and flight control movement on the 744.
@@patrick_192 Oh? Just pulleys and cables? ;)

Fantastic capture. We clamour for more.

Thank you for the detailed analysis 🙂. The airport is Birmingham/BHX in the centre of England.
Great footage

You are absolutely correct. Heavy is meant to indicate visual impression (like a moving ball in some sports is sometimes considered "heavy")
Whoa and WOW !!! Outstanding !!!
Well done liked and subbed
Superb!

amazing video👍👍👍
That was sharp😮😀🙏🙏
Leve e com pouco combustível para ter decolado dessa maneira.
That’s a lot of wind
It is not "tail heavy". It was a quite deep rotation, but the C of G of the aeroplane was fine.
Very true.

Love it
😀
How can you tell it's tail heavy are you a psychic?
Heavy in the sense of visual impression, not literal load distribution
Far inclinare quasi alla fine coda e impenare meno x avere più decollo legero
Hawktb9 it’s not the pilot buddy it’s computer controlled inertial guidance.
It’s nothing to do with inertial guidance or computers - the autopilot is not engaged during the takeoff roll. These are manual flight control inputs by the pilot flying.
