As a DER/AR observer, I wanted to be in the flight deck as soon as practical after TO so I could 'observe' (EICAS was my friend
). Getting to the flight deck was like climbing a mountain

The one flight I'll always remember - 767-200, CF6-80C2B6 (60k) rating, a little over 100 ton TOW. We were on condition, 35k/Mach 0.82 10 minutes after brake release
How about this 787 demo ?
