In case you missed yet another gem from AIR INDIA — An Air India Express aircraft departing from Oman to Kannur mistook the runway edge lights for the lights on the centre of the runway and started to take-off from the edge of the runway on May 15, damaging multiple runway edge lights. The crew aborted the take-off only after a cockpit alert and a loud bang inside the aircraft. The accident also caused a hydraulic leak and a flat tyre, leaving the aircraft disabled and grounded.

This Thomas Cook A330 was accelerating for takeoff when flames suddenly erupted from one of its engines,forcing the crew to reject the takeoff. The key point is that once a serious engine problem is identified, the crew has to make a rapid decision based on speed, runway remaining and aircraft performance. Watching the video, the aircraft is already committed to the takeoff roll when the failure occurs. The rejected takeoff then becomes a carefully coordinated sequence - thrust reduced, braking applied and the aircraft kept under control while bringing it to a stop✈️

He could have ejected immediately. He didn’t. On May 14, 2009, RAF Harrier GR9A ZG478 crashed during landing at Kandahar. The approach was too steep and the jet struck the runway hard. Its landing gear collapsed, sending the Harrier into a 4,000-foot belly slide as its fuel, weapons and pods caught fire. But the pilot stayed with the burning aircraft. Why? Four aircraft were waiting on the runway. He steered the crippled Harrier away from them before ejecting as flames reached the cockpit. He survived with minor injuries. The Harrier was destroyed. No enemy fire brought it down. This was a landing accident that became a fight to keep a burning aircraft from taking others with it. Watch the final seconds. The decision to stay in the cockpit is what makes this footage extraordinary.

FROM TAKEOFF TO CRASH IN JUST SECONDS : Just seconds after takeoff, this small aircraft began climbing with its nose pointing dangerously high. It drifted to the left, started to yaw, and suddenly lost the lift needed to stay in the air. The aircraft stalled and crashed before the situation could be recovered. The cause? The student pilot had pitched the nose too high, leading to a loss of control. Did you notice something like a tail strike also?✈️

This is what flying an Airbus A350 looks like from the pilots’ POV. From the moment the thrust comes in and the aircraft accelerates down the runway, everything happens quickly. You’ll notice the pilot stops making thrust adjustments after V1 call-out, keeping the aircraft committed to the takeoff. Then, at “Rotate,” the pilot smoothly pulls back on the controls and lifts the A350’s nose off the runway✈️

That Was WAY Too Close!The Runway Is Almost Gone for this A340✈️ Watch closely as the massive four-engine aircraft accelerates towards the end of the runway. For a moment, it looks like the runway is simply running out and then the aircraft finally lifts off. What could have been the reason for the risky late takeoff?

Watch: The 737 lifts its nose, but fails to take off! This jet appears to attempt rotation twice during its takeoff roll, but fails to lift off, remaining on the runway before finally getting airborne on the third attempt. Every second counted during this takeoff and repeated rotation attempts consumed valuable runway distance, leaving less room to accelerate or safely reject the takeoff incase the pilot had to. Several factors could potentially explain what happened here, including insufficient airspeed at the initial rotation attempts, aircraft weight, changing wind conditions or wake turbulence. It's a concerning sequence because if the aircraft had continued using up runway without achieving a safe takeoff, the consequences could have been very different.

Watch Kalitta Air Boeing 777 Freighter coming frighteningly close to a tail strike during a go-around✈️ What stands out to me is how much pitch and energy the crew had to manage in just a few seconds. The aircraft touched down, bounced, and they immediately had to control pitch, thrust, airspeed and configuration. With a 777-300ER’s length, there’s very little room for error when the pitch attitude changes close to the runway. The key decision was the go-around. Once the landing became unstable, getting airborne and establishing a safe climb was far better than trying to force the aircraft back onto the runway. 🎥Plane_spotter350

Boeing 777X arriving in style. ✈️ What stands out to me is how stable the aircraft remains through the flare. A smooth landing isn’t simply about “putting the aircraft down” it’s about crossing the runway with the right speed, attitude, and energy, then managing that energy all the way to touchdown. 🎥dfwspotter

🚨 JUST IN: A Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 had a pretty unusual takeoff from Munich today. Flight VN34 was departing for Hanoi when the aircraft rotated very late, lifting off near the end of Runway 26L. Ground footage shows the main landing gear coming off the runway with a cloud of dust behind it. There are reports that the aircraft may have struck equipment beyond the runway, potentially damaging runway lights and possibly the aircraft itself, though the reports aren't verified yet. After takeoff, the crew stopped the climb at around 9,000 ft and entered a holding pattern near Munich, likely to assess the situation and burn fuel. Definitely not a normal takeoff, and the footage shows just how close to the end of the runway the 787 lifted off.

Update – Vietnam 787 was at 168 knots for 18 seconds on the takeoff roll before runway excursion in Munich. Cockpit Voice Recorder “unavailable”: FDR data shows brakes engaged German authorities (the BFU, their equivalent to the NTSB) released the preliminary report on the Vietnam Airlines 787 involved in an incident in Munich on August 15. Here are some details - A 64-year-old pilot in the left seat, with 27,182 flight hours, was flying the aircraft at takeoff. - Left-side brake pedals moved and the brake system engaged soon after the takeoff roll began. A second braking event was logged just before rotation, the BFU report said. - The report did not establish whether the brake inputs came from pilot action or a technical fault. - Airspeed held near 168 knots (311 kph) for about 18 seconds on the takeoff roll until the right-seat co-pilot increased thrust shortly before lift-off, according to the BFU report. - The jet rotated below its calculated takeoff speed and lifted off from grass beyond the runway and clearway. The tail and both main landing gear struck parts of the approach-lighting system, causing substantial damage, the report added. - The designated pilot in command, seated in the left jump seat at takeoff, took control after the aircraft became airborne. - The BFU said the cockpit voice recording of the takeoff was unavailable because its two-hour loop had been overwritten. After the runway excursion, the crew dumped about 62 tonnes of fuel and the aircraft returned to Munich for an emergency landing. All 287 people on board were unhurt. ℹ️Reuters AEROIN

When the engines go silent, the aircraft becomes a glider. This pilot had to shut down the engines and glide toward the runway for an emergency landing near Van Nuys, California. No engine power. No second chance. Just altitude, airspeed and precise flying. Could you stay calm enough to land an aircraft with no engine power?

This is why fighter pilots are among the best in the world. The aircraft touches down on its main landing gear, and the pilot holds the nose high for several moments while still traveling at jet landing speeds. Notice how the tail comes within inches of the runway yet, thanks to the pilot's exceptional precision and control, it never strikes the ground. Incredible display of skills ✈️

Another View of the Cessna Citation EJA803 emergency landing at Akron Canton Airport. The pilot knew that there is no second chance or room for error. He touched down on the main landing gear and then carefully brought the nose down onto the runway, keeping the aircraft under control throughout. An incredible display of precision, composure and aircraft handling under pressure. 🎥 Michael Grossman

From inside the cabin, passengers might simply feel the engines pushing them back into their seats, but from the ground, you can see just how powerful and incredible this takeoff looks as the aircraft charges down the runway through the heavy rain before finally lifting off. ✈️
