Skip the ad when you can to get to the video - looks like Grant County International Airport, near Moses Lake, Washington.

In reality, I believe it's around 50 degrees.

Not something you would see with passengers inside!
I would love to see a side view of that climb, I wonder how fast it's shedding speed?

Nice wing bend though. ;-)

From CNN: "Hero pilot saves the day."
From a passenger interviewed in the terminal: "We almost died!"

I can do that in my glider, though not for quite as long...

LOL @ DAn.
Awesome! Goes to show without all the ballast (human bodies) these planes have plenty of extra power.

There's also the regulation that large twins have to be able to continue a takeoff from V1 [1] on a single engine at max all-up weight and the given runway length, wind, temp etc.

If you actually have twice that trust, as you usually do, it's jam.

I note that the A380 has an *extremely* leisurely climb out compared to the modern twins. It only has to have 33% more than the bare minimum power, compared to 100% more for twins.

[1] if an engine fails below V1 then you stop. If above V1 then you continue, but you must accelerate to at least V2 before actually lifting off.

Yup - that's how they calculate Balanced Field Length. IIRC it's where the distance to get to V1 (takeoff decision speed), abort and stop equals the distance to continue the takeoff on one engine to 50' altitude. After V1 it takes more distance to stop than to continue on one engine.

With all that extra thrust, we routinely set reduced power for takeoff.
We had a chart in the performance section of the flight manual for just
a thing. It considered runway length, density altitude, gross weight,
winds, etc. Should an engine fail, the remaining engine(s) would be
advanced to max power.

Yes you can! Do a winch launch on one of those specially modified European winches that use over 11,000ft of line, hold that climb for 2 minutes and end up at over 4,500ft. I bet the jet cannot do that!

Wow!!! I'd love to try that!
