Video: S7 737 Has Scary Takeoff In Moscow

that...is so close. Just 1/2 a second late would be catastrophic. Glad everyone is okay.
Whoever makes this kind of rudimentary mistake has to be fired, banned from flying for life, no innocents should die because someone punched a pad wrong and was too lazy to double check.

Yeah, something was brewing “at that point” while those in biz class were reviewing the pre-departure champagne ...

Wow that Royal Air Maroc takeoff I have never seen a plane so close to rear of it dragging ok the runway. Looked vwry scary

Emirates ( EK407) Melbourne-Dubai: pilots made incorrect weight calculation ( by 100 tonnes) ran out of runway, tail strike on rotation, hit antenna, 500 metres past the end of the runway barely cleared perimeter fence. Miraculously able to climb away and dump fuel before returning. Classified as an accident rather than an incident.
Similar weight miscalculations have occurred on a number of airlines, including Air France.

Interesting

You would think the flight computer would detect the actual acceleration is mismatched with the expected acceleration during the takeoff run and give the pilots some sort of error early in the process. It would be evident pretty quickly that something was off. Maybe the systems just don't monitor this sort of thing.

Would be interesting to hear from a professional pilot - do they usually take off under less than full power on longer runways to minimize fuel burn/noise/engine wear? And if so, does that reduce safety margin for any takeoff weight calculation error?

Commercial Aircraft as a matter of course always use less than Full Power for take off,unless there are limiting factors that would require Full Power, this is to extend the service life of the engines.Among those factors would be Runway Length,Wet Runway,Obstacle clearance, Aircraft weight etc. Normally an airline puts as much weight as is possible onto an aircraft as possible for a given Runway,& this weight is determined by the most restrictive of Maximum Take off weight,Runway Length,Tyre speed etc.

I have not gone into too much detail,but hopefully people will get an idea of what goes on in the process. In addition,pilots as part of the Take off briefing to each other say,that " Up to 80 knots we stop for anything we don't like or any warning indications,between 80 knots & V1(Take off Decision Speed)
We will stop only for an Engine Failure,Engine Fire,Loss of directional Control ,or It is apparent that the aircraft will not fly"

Clearly this aircraft was not going to fly & so the takeoff should have been aborted alot sooner,so that the aircraft should have been no where neat the end of the runway. Assuming it used the Full length of the available runway 11000ft Lucky states,well the acceleration would have not been normal for them to be lifting off at the end of the runway,so the clues where there for the crew to abort,but hey,we weren't in the cockpit,so who really knows what was going on,but we are taking an educated guess,based on normal operations

Thank you KJ. Good with proper input and not only “Oh my Goood!”.

Wow, scary video!
