New F16 starting procedure in real life?
-
The engine is so powerful that he might understand his less acceleration after 300kts…
-
Its weird that his flight mates didnt see this in run-up check… anyway, we probably will never know the real reason
-
I guess the runway points a bit upward there and by opening the brake he wanted to prevent to roll back before releasing the clutch …
Those hill starts in a Viper are a bitch
-
When I first started flying Falcon, I had to takeoff and land uphill. You kids don’t understand how good you have it these days.
-
Based on logic from other government agencies, perhaps the pilots are instructed to fly with speed brakes open to burn more fuel in order to keep their monthly fuel cost allotment the same due to the falling cost of fuel;)
-
To me, this movie shows wave off during training patterns (clean aircraft, no loadout except fuel tanks).
That’s the reason why airbrakes are open. -

:rofl:
In fairness though, landing uphill is usually desirable.

We know who pay the beer that night…

… Either a mistake (A friend made the same on AlphaJet during a touch’n’go) … or picture taken just after a go around while airbrakes are still open … (?) I do not imagine it could be a standard takeoff procedure. Would be nonsense.
-
It was the Egyptian Air force when they were attacking ISIS. Perhaps it helps to stabilize the old frames during takeoff (IDK).

DeeJay could be right with touch n go.

Egyptian!? … Or you meant Jordanian?

Same video (at least some clips) in both posts …… both say Egyptian. Against targets in Libya.

Egyptian against ISIS affiliated targets in Lybia, in reaction to the execution of 21 egyptian copt hostages.

… ah … missed it while flying over (where you know). No TV on the camp and didn’t saw the last events. Thank you for info.

LOL, you should know that the media regulary uses aviation imagery from what ever sources (archives) they have available for whatever purpose they like.
Actually in some “documentaries” or news reports, they dont even care if “the same aircraft” suddenly changes loadout or even type in between the scenes…So - whenever you see a news report or a documentary including military aviation scenes, I’d even consider it rather unlikely that those scenes where produced in the context of the story being told.
Far more likely they have absolutely nothing to do with the main story and just serve as kind of “illustration”That parts of the same news report are then used by different channels takes nothing away from that.
Greets!

… True.
-
ok the airbrakes could have been an error, but what about the tough question about the Jordanian F-16A what downed it?

AFAIK, nothing. Except a “classic” engine failure.
