Ilyushin Il-76TD low takeoff
 

This Il-76TD seems to carry a heavy load, unlike the other planes, rises only a few feets at the end of the runway...



RA-76446 Cargo Ceiba (VLC) 20-4-2013

very nice !

I am sorry but that is a normal 76 take off??? You should see them at +48C!!:confused:

Nice video... especially in HD.... but that's a perfectly normal IL76 take-off. Nothing special to see there.

Quite so. I've yet to see any that beats this one:

Youtube makes it easy to calculate the takeoff roll. In this case about 45 seconds. Completely normal for a large jet transport.

Not when 45 seconds coincides with the end of the runway, it isn't. :O

Maybe it's a Russian thing, I've flown in Tu-154s where you can still count the cows 5 min after tekeoff

antiguogrumete does shoot some nice video. It's too bad, however, that he has to introduce them with sensationalist, misleading headers. I can't figure out if he is clueless, a sensationalist, or just pandering his videos...

here, here, totally agree

Take a company that does not mind fudging the numbers on the W&B for profit and pilots with balls larger than brains and this is what you get.

grounded

In the case of some operators I would not totally agree.

Some pilots (especially Russians) are given to winding up the onlookers (good on them). If an aircraft unsticks close to the end of the runway a clue that it did not need all the runway is that it actually unsticks with a very low AoA thanks to excess IAS. Aircraft that really do need all the runway tend to have a slightly higher nose attitude (and hence AoA) when they are eventually dragged off!

You mean like this?

Or was it just a case of several different people taking a little to allow extra luggage or cargo on board without knowing who else had done the same.

In my time as a regular SLF in that continent often a $10 was all that was needed for the excess baggage not to be noticed.

Don't most aeroplanes and for that matter helicopters, take off from close to the ground?:ok:

Thanks!
I like a lot this plane, I have some others videos of the IL 76TD.
Not very frecuent in Spain.

For the love of God please don't post them here!

How much advertising revenue are you making from the videos you spam these boards with?

Very well said Torque, these 5hit videos don't come from aviation enthusiasts - they come from clowns that can't tell the difference between a DC-8 and a Lancaster and are just doing it to make some advertising revenue. :ugh:
