Aeroflot 767 takeoff (with spoilers) during storm

Enviado
 
Looks like they did a takeoff roll with the spoilers to prevent a normal rotation so they could takeoff well above Vr/V2 and prevent a stall from wind sheer. Ingenious, terrifying, and insane. (www.youtube.com) Más...

Looks more like the Pilot had it banked to the left fully to compensate for wind. You can see it if you look at the inboard aileron. Just my observation...

As the above person mentioned, It's a crosswind correction, not the spoilers being deployed. You can clearly see the left inboard aileron up.

Wha....what? "Looks like they did a takeoff roll with the spoilers to prevent a normal rotation so they could takeoff well above Vr/V2 and prevent a stall from wind sheer. Ingenious, terrifying, and insane."

He Technically doesnt have the spoilers deployed, this a aileron deflection. When you apply a full left or right aileron deflection it causes the spoilers to go up. Due to high winds they apply a aileron deflection to prevent the wind from picking up the wing.

Those are roll spoilers, nothing to do with the spoiler handle itself

Ah, good old Aeroflot. The long roll reminds me of a joke.

How does an Aeroflot pilot navigate? By reading street signs.

As said before, those spoilers are roll spoilers and what you're seeing is proper control placement for a crosswind takeoff.

looks like a normal takeoff roll with anticipated crosswind! What is really crazy is to attempt such takeoff with those conditions! Lucky...........

I have a bit of a different (possibly dumb) question. With that much rain coming down and being ingested by the engines, could they have flamed out?

Gene,

Possibly yes.

However, engine manufacturers do test this type of thing:

Now, the engines shown in the videos is are a RR Trent 800 series and a GE90 engine, two of the available types which powers the Boeing 777.

Meant to continue writing and say that the engines on a B777 are different from those available to power a B767. The engines on this Aeroflot leased B767-300ER are either, P&W PW4000 series, or GE CF6-80 series. The RR RB211 is also available to power the B767-300ER, but more than likely this aircraft has the PW4000 or CF6-80.
