American 737-800 Long Takeoff Roll! | Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)

I suppose with DFW's long runways, such as 18L, a derated takeoff makes sense. However, it seemed like we were accelerating for quite a while before rotation! Enjoy the morning departure from DFW!

Long runway! Love the video.

I had a similar experience in March on a night flight home to DTW. It was the most gradual takeoff I have ever experienced. I sat in a similar location to the one in this video.

Cool 😎

Was that to save wear on engines?

[@DeltaAirtran]

Yes, typically on longer runways, aircraft will “derate” their thrust settings during takeoff to help prevent wear and tear on their engines. Since it’s a longer runway, no need to use max power!
