      pjdsa rotation is when the nose comes up and the airplane (hopefully) establishes a positive rate of climb

      Pascal ///M Power An A380 isn't that spectacular. A 747 screams while taking off, you can hear that in the video. An A380 makes less noise and takes off much easier due to the hugh wings. A 747 or Antonov 124 is pretty much the most insane take off you can imagine at SXM ;D

    • @ddraguti
      @ddraguti 6 років тому +1

      They say A380 has manoeuvre capability like no other plane, it can fly at encredible slow speed so despite the short runway perhaps the landings and take offs are still possible for A380? They never tried did they.

    Yes, it depends on the winds. The desired take off is the opposite way but it really makes no difference. When they're taking off the other way, they're landing from the end the camera was on. That's a trip, too. :)

    Just got back from there. The smaller planes are cool but I wished I could have seen one of these big boys!

    The most beautiful bird in the sky. She deserves every bit of her title as the Queen. So sad production has ended.

    Interesting as most aircraft land from over the sea and take-off in the opposite direction at this airport. It is an interesting experience landing here as the plane just seems to be getting lower and lower with no sign of the ground until it a few hundred feet from the runway. Not for those of a nervous disposition. The take-off is also interesting as the plane has to bank to pass between two mountains.

    It happened to me in Miami. I was standing in a traffic jam on 42 Ave right at the end of the runway. A very unusual late rotation of a Tristar (it was the 80s) I thought it was going to hit me.

    Excellent video, I'm interested to know, was it the jet blast that pointed the camera down to the sand or was it a nervous reaction that the plane may strike it?

    Imagine the starboard passengers in the Tenerife Pan Am 747 having the exact same view of a KLM 747 bearing down them. Gives me the shudders even watching it on here. 🥺

    So they change it all according to the winds? That's pretty cool! Thanks for the feedback!! Because when I was there the planes were facing the opposite way so I had to hold on to the fence for dear life from the thrust....It was a ton of fun though....

    Took my wife there a few years ago. It was fun to watch. The thing that made me shudder was the engine exhaust blowing across that road...the sand, and any little pebbles, looked like it would hurt a lot. But the crazies just ignored it. Very few wore goggles.
