When an A350 lines up behind another aircraft... On 7 May 2023 at London Heathrow Airport, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH3, operated by an Airbus A350-900, was seen lining up on the runway behind a British Airways Airbus A320 preparing for departure. The unusual close positioning attracted attention because of the potential risks associated with jet blast and wake turbulence when aircraft are operating so closely together. Heathrow procedures allow aircraft to enter the runway under certain conditional line-up clearances, but pilots still have to consider hazards from the aircraft ahead. Both aircraft ultimately departed safely. 📹: BIG JET TV

Usually, during short field takeoffs, pilots set the parking brake, spool up the engines first, and then release. It's all about maximizing every inch of that runway. When you're on a dirt strip like this, there's no room for hesitation. You hold it on the brakes, feel the airframe shake as the engines hit full power, and then-blast off. Raw power. Pure aviation. This is how it's done when the conditions aren't perfect, but the mission is. 📹: maas_aviation
