@Turbinetraveler @Airbus @GWR @Qantas Is the flight fully loaded/weighted to represent a real commercial flight ?

Spring storms put on a show today! ⛈️
We experienced temporary departure stops due to heavy rain and wind gusts up to 35kts. While delays affected some flights, safety remained our top priority.

🚨 WATCH: A paraglider gets hit by a Cessna 172 near the Austrian town of Zell am See.

The paraglider was able to pull her rescue parachute and land safely shortly after the incident on Saturday.

According to police, the 44-year-old Austrian had started from Schmittenhöhe in the direction of Piesendorf. Above the Pinzgauer Hütte, she collided at 1:15 p.m. with the Cessna piloted by a 28-year-old.

The pilot of the Cessna, which flew from the Glemm Valley in the direction of Zell am See, was able to land the aircraft safely at Zell am See Airport.

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.

Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

A pilot placed a camera under the wing of an Airbus A320 during the takeoff roll. The result is incredible.

The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbirds, two of the nation’s most elite flight teams, united Tuesday to perform an extremely rare formation flyover in “Super Delta” over Pensacola Beach, Florida.

100-TONNE TAKEOFF WEIGHT ERROR CAUSED B777 TAIL STRIKE AT MILAN

On 9 July 2024, LATAM Boeing 777-300ER PT-MUG struck its tail during takeoff from Milan Malpensa after departing with performance data based on a 100-tonne weight error.

Investigators found the crew used 228.8 tonnes instead of the correct 328.4 tonnes when calculating takeoff performance for São Paulo.

The incorrect weight was verbally confirmed and entered into both pilots’ electronic flight bags. Since both devices used the same wrong figure, cross-checks matched and masked the error. No comparison was made with the loadsheet or FMC data.

The consequences were immediate:

• Reduced thrust setting
• Invalid performance solution (“V SPEEDS UNAVAILABLE”)
• Rotation and V-speeds far below safe values

Correct speeds should have been approximately:
V1 ≈ 172 knots
VR ≈ 181 knots

Instead, rotation began around the mid-140 knot range.

The aircraft pitched to 8.3° nose-up within seconds. Tail-strike protection activated, but the tail contacted the runway at about 160 knots.

By then the aircraft had passed the (incorrectly calculated) V1, making a rejected takeoff impossible.

A third pilot in the cockpit called for full TOGA thrust roughly 12 seconds after rotation began. The aircraft finally lifted off at 178 knots with only ~800 metres of runway remaining, crossing the opposite threshold at just 155 feet.

The crew declared an urgency, dumped 72 tonnes of fuel and returned safely. All 398 occupants were unharmed.

The event was later reclassified from serious incident to accident due to structural damage found during inspection.
