I thought that once the nose wheel was up you were passed the point of no return??

Indeed, thats the whole point on V Speeds. Once you are passed V1, you have to get airbourne, if you like it or not

All i was poiniting out was that people can’t tell from the back wether it was full thrust of not. I’m sure when i flew a A343 last year that they used quite a high setting, 98.7% was used on the Swiss DVD to BKK for instance, tho i wasnt pushed into the back of my seat, tho when i flew down to LHR last week, i did feel the acceleration, but Vr was reached in about 15 seconds, so de-rate would have been used.

Back to my Shamless DVD now :p

FBO Web doesn’t know what it is 😀

Too many for a top 5!!

Two that spring to mind, was

1. Last weeks 747 takeoff to Hong Kong from Heathrow, over 300 tonnes taking quite a bit of time to get airbourne!

and

2. My Zoom takeoff in March, very empty 767, 30 min flight, loads of spare engine power, climbing like a bat out of hell!

And Tommy, they NEVER use full power on takeoffs, always a derated takeoff, or the engine would need replacing all the time

Was superbly clear when i landed there 0730 on Friday!

And your shots look superb in any weather Lance 😀

cant u tell me in normal english

I like that 😀
