Aeroflot 767 takeoff (with spoilers) during storm
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) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
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.
Exciting takeoff! :)
Those are roll spoilers, nothing to do with the spoiler handle itself
