another thing I always wanted to mention but... I noticed several times, in almost zero wind weather conditions, that IBERIA pilots use lots of rudder inputs during the take-off run, making the plane zigzagging along the runway, (on 767, A320 and MD83) a quite annoying and worrying technique for passengers. Has this something to do with their pilot training?
Hello again,
Yes, I've noticed too, but only with crosswinds or when making a running T/O.
Maybe you feel it because you were seated in the last rows. If you are seated in the front ones, this sensation is less annoying .

By the way, Iberia hasn't 767's in its fleet, probably you flew in an A 321.
