If it’s light enough yes!

@inflight_aviation The FAA requires that a fully loaded aircraft must be able to take off and maintain a safe climb with one engine inoperative, meaning it must be designed and certified to fly safely even if one engine fails during takeoff; this is a critical safety standard for multi-engine aircraft.

@chrisalister2297 this is if it’s already at speed, yes. Starting from 0kts all the way to rotate on this thing would be another story.

Yup 2,000

Indeed!

It’s STUPID rare…. I’m sure the pax around me thought I was having a seizure when I first found out that was the plan… so insanely exciting ;)

Haha I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ;)

You have a low threshold for how insanely awesome RB211 engines screaming at full power is. Cheers

Oh yes- and even interacting with the pilots was awesome- they LOVE their job :)

The type rating is dual for the 757/767. Everybody loves the 57 hotrod!

True ;)

That’s awesome!

Mine too!

Haha it’s ALWAYS a competition in aviation

Haha that’s awesome… I’ve got the captain to punch it for me before too. So cool ;) thanks for sharing

@ You bet! 👍

1982.

What are you implying I said incorrectly?

Yes it does, I’m so happy someone else realized that ;)

Well it’s restricted, but not to the River. That’s where all northerly departures fly outta DCA.

Correct but this is real life

Yes it is … but at first I thought it was a sim until the 1:23 mark when I saw the parking lot and cld see some car tops driving behind , through the trees

@townsendheal8471 oh haha very good eye!

Oh yeah ;)

Yup, IPhone 14 with 2160P and 60FPS

@inflight_aviation Ah ok so action mode on I would assume? Also if I may ask, do you use the autofocus lock and if so, where do you focus on?? Thanks

@SWAFanPilot to be honest I’ve never paid attention to action mode. And yes I usually focus either on the winglet/tip of the wing itself or the engine just depending on the color I want and what makes the video look the best.

@SWAFanPilot and don’t worry about it- you can ask away, I’m always happy to answer questions ;)

@inflight_aviation Thanks again! Now I have to find a way to move files to my computer and delete them on my phone, since I only have 1GB left 😂

Thank you!

Oooh that’d be cool!

Oh that’s awesome! I’m delighted that the weather this day was perfect for a flawless view of the area. Stunning

@inflight_aviation For a sense of scale: The lake is about 6 miles long and 3 wide near the power station. Allegheny front is about 3500 ft above sea level. Each tower.turbine roughly the height of Washington Monument. ...50+ mile view from 6 miles up

@jim9930 yes it’s insane. Driving through California the other day I saw some of the propellers up close- it’s amazing

Then stop watching

Agreed, I’ve only been there twice now and it’s up with my favorites. Gorgeous city

Just stay west of the anacostia 😅

Haha thanks for the heads up!

Western Marylander here! I we puld like to suggest you take a rude on the Allegheny Great Passage from Pittsburgh to Cumberland ,Maryland. Then get on the C&O Canal and ride to Washington , DC. You can also start in DC and ride to Pittsburgh, PA, mostly uphill!

would / ride

That’s the buzzsaw that has been there since spoolup but you only really start to hear it once the wheels leave the ground so the rumble stops.

@inflight_aviation But why does this engine do this only? What engine is it so I can do some research lol

@Herobe15 it’s the RB211 and the noise comes from each fan blade breaking the speed of sound.

I wondered that too. My Dad who designed the flight control systems on that plane said it was the “compressors”

Oh yeah thats awesome. Thanks for watching!

100%

Standard

Haha that’s awesome ;)

I never got to fly in the 707 and only in the 720 once -my parents worked for United so I grew up on DC-8s and 747s. For me, nothing beats the sound of an air cart start on those old JT4 turbojets.

@miket2120 ohhhh that’s awesome 🤙

Oh neat! I’m sure the 757 thought that was easy though… it’s a short flight. The 752s outta LIH when Hawaii is in the 90s really show off the 75.

@ definitely one of the best sounds in commercial aviation 😊

Oh yeah

@inflight_aviationabsolutely not.

?

@inflight_aviation I have friends who flew the B757 and the L-1011 and every single one of them prefer the L-1011. I know guys who flew the B747SP and they favored that over the B757. The 757 was liked, but for many pilots it wasn’t their favorite.

@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 interesting

Haha

I agree!

It was pretty quick for sure

It was gorgeous

Thanks for watching!

Thrust reduction

Not all aircraft make full power takeoffs, in fact 95% of all commercial jets take off with reduced power.

@inflight_aviation would like to hear some Boeing/Airbus captains respond to this. You a pilot? I am and have never heard such a thing from any pilot I know.

@garyyoung4074 yep! But next time you fly, go ahead and ask the flight crew- you would be as surprised as I was once I first found out! Whether the takeoff thrust is 20% or only 0.3% below full, it’s still a reduced power takeoff and the VAST majority of takeoffs are with reduced thrust. It is better on the engines to reduce the takeoff thrust and once done so, the VMCG (velocity of minimum control on ground) is also reduced allowing control of the aircraft using only rudder at a lower speed.

No tail strike

@inflight_aviation Whew, I’m always afraid of that with the 753.

@ChrisZoomER don’t blame you, the risk is higher in a 737-900 however. It’s lower to the ground and has similar proportions so pilots have to be careful.

Mhm…. There used to be an L-1011 at my home airport, TUS before they flew it to Kansas City. I saw it all the time and could get super close- it was a beast.

I know right?!

Ooooh nice. It’s good to know that after purchasing with points, I can upgrade with dollars too. Thanks!!!

Nope, this bird didn’t have the NEXT interior however somehow all of the rest of my united flights this year (738+319) had it.

@inflight_aviation OK thanks!

@asafblasbergvideographer no problem ;)

@inflight_aviation So the current 752's feature the older IFE designs? I remember I flew on a UA 752 in 2020 and it had the older and much smaller IFE design.

Honestly I’m not too sure about the 752s… I’d like to say that some have the NEXT interior but it’s really not something to pay attention to. However, on the United app within a couple days of your flight it’ll tell the aircraft details and there should be a little symbol indicating the NEXT interior. You can also check that for any United flight on the flight status page.

Oh awesome! And yes the weather this day was gorgeous so I was able to nail the video detail for sure!

Yessir! Thanks for watching dude- I love your videos as well 🤙🤙

Haha

Oh thank you so much!!!
