At least the pilot kept his cool, instead of bottling it and crashing trying to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fygjam Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 The clue was the A330 landing at the beginning of the video. The incident happened at Frankfurt, see diagram below. Wake turbulence from the A330 presented as a tailwind to the B737 reducing airspeed below safe takeoff airspeed. So the crew lowered the nose and waited until they had regained the appropriate airspeed then made a safe takeoff. ATC cleared the B737 too early. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now they’ve had a large purchase of MAX 8, will be a while before I jump on one of those 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
