Hmmmm, almost more questions than answers. It seems strange that the aircraft only achieved "2600 ft" at 100kts. Obviously there was no energy left to go higher. However, the same aircraft is seen, in previous film, easily making similar manoeuvres. It seems strange that, apparently having video of the instruments, no mention of engine parameters or altimeter indications is made? No mention of, what surely must be known, "gates" and, a strange declaration of the take-off being longer than usual "probably due to conditions"! Come-on, if it was due to conditions it was NOT longer than usual! It was either longer than it should have been or it was not!
